consist of the same ingredients. In the same way, living beings, from Krishna and the millions of forms of Visnu, or Visnu-tattvas, to the distinct beings which in this world have the most diverse forms, of that of Brahma (the demiurge and the first to be created) to that of the smallest ant, all share the same spiritual nature. Perhaps their size, or their quantitative aspect, varies, but their qualitative nature is the same for everyone. Krishna, God, the Supreme Lord, represents the greatest of all living beings: He ensures their maintenance to all and provides the least of their needs. Anyone who knows this philosophy has the perfect knowledge. The Vedic aphorism tat tvam asi, “You are the same,” does not mean that everyone is God, but that all are qualitatively the same as God.
After hearing Krishna summarize the entire spiritualistic philosophy, Vasudeva found himself extremely satisfied with his Son. Euphoric, he found himself unable to say a word, and so remained silent. Meanwhile, Devaki, Krishna's mother, sat down beside her husband. She had heard that formerly, Krishna and Balarama, to show kindness to their preceptor, had brought back his son, that they had to take back Yamaraja, the lord of death. Since she had heard of this incident, she often thought of her own sons, killed by Kamsa, and this memory plunged her into the deepest sadness.

You have come to this world to ease the burden of the world by destroying all these impious rulers My dear Krishna, I know that Maha-Visnu, who stretches out into the Causal Ocean of the cosmic manifestation and represents the Sour this whole creation is only an emanation of a full emanation of your Person. The creation, the maintenance and the annihilation of this cosmic manifestation take place by your sole plenary emanation. Also, without any reservation, I take refuge in You”.
“I have heard that to reward your preceptor, Sandipani Muni, you and Balarama, at his request, brought back to life his long-dead son, who was under Yamaraja's tutelage. can understand that you are the ultimate Master of all yogis, and therefore ask you to fill my desire in the same way Yes, I ask you to bring back to life all my sons, those killed Kamsa, if you me the redonnes, my heart will fill with joy, to see them once only would make me, know the great pleasure”.
At these words of their mother, Krishna and Balarama immediately called upon their yoga-maya (inner power) to assist them, and proceeded to the lower planetary
