Bhagavan is Shaktiman Bhagavan is omnipotent by the influence of his inconceivable energy, all living beings and the material world have emerged. Energy is non different from the energetic source. The world and living entities are transformations of Bhagavan's energy. When the world and living entities are transformations of Bhagavan's energy, they cannot be considered separate entities from the fundamental perspective. However, from the marginal perspective, energy cannot be identified as the energetic entity. Therefore, the world and living entities from the marginal perspective are distinct entities. Reasoning faculties are incapable of touching the absolute, touching the supreme truth. The fulfillment of reality is not achieved by unless simultaneous oneness and difference are acknowledged. One may ask how this is possible and how it can be established through logic. The answer is that this principle rests upon the nature of Bhagavan. By the influence of Bhagavan's inconceivable energy, the harmony of opposing harmony of opposing attributes is achieved. The reasoning faculty is naturally limited. It is incapable of grasping this principle.

Sa.

It.

Perspective Energies.

So Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur is describing how one from one perspective the Lord and His energy are not different.

Serve as observing source.

But from the marginal perspective the energies are not the same as the energetic source. So this is a situation of simultaneous oneness and difference. But this is difficult for the mind to grasp. It is beyond logic.

Exists however ancient civil harmless endurance.

Therefore it is described as inconceivable oneness and difference. This is possible because Bhagavan has inconceivable energies. Because Bhagavan is unlimited, this opposite harmony is achieved. It is inconceivable. Note from Srimad Bhagavatam canto for chapter 11, text 18 will it the supreme Personality of Godhead by his inconceivable supreme energy Time causes the interaction of the three modes of material nature and thus varieties of energy become manifest. It appears that he is acting, but he is not the actor. He is killing, but he is not the killer. Thus it is understood that only by his inconceivable power is everything happening. The will of Bhagavan and his immutability, his distinctness and indistinctness, his inconceivability and accessibility through devotion, his impartiality, partiality towards his devotees. These countless opposing attributes all harmoniously coexist within his form. In acknowledging this, one must accept both intrinsic oneness, Swoopagata Abheda and marginal difference. Tatastagata Veda Simultaneously so this shows the wonderful nature of Bhagavan that he is doing everything through his inconceivable potencies while simultaneously not doing anything. My dear Lord, in your impersonal manifestation of Brahman there are always two opposing elements, knowledge and ignorance. Your multi energies are continually manifest, but the impersonal Brahman, which is undivided, original, changeless, unlimited and blissful, is the cause of the material manifestation. Because you are the same impersonate Brahman, I offer my respectful obeisances unto you. Just Just as there is illusion in establishing only Advaita non dualism, there is also illusion in establishing only Dvaita dualism. Bhagavan in his perfect form is distinct from the entire world and all living entities. So this is how inconceivable Veda and Abheda difference and oneness is established.

Sons he suffocates.

So Krishna in one sense is neutral and in another sense he reciprocates with his devotees. That is why devotional service is the only means to influence Krishna. O Brahma, please know that the universal elements enter into the cosmos at the same time do not enter into the cosmos. Similarly, I myself also exist within everything created and at the same time I am outside of everything. Throughout his inherent so through his inherent energy he continually establishes the eternal existence and reality of all living entities and the material world. Therefore, the Vedas sometimes use statements supporting Advaita and sometimes statements supporting Dvaita. So because of these statements, the Advaita vadis and the Dvaitavadis each try to prove their point and the Vedas are not giving a clear interpretation. Next heading. Bhagavan is accessible to all faculties. Bhagavad Anubhava is the ultimate stage of realization mentioned earlier after Brahmanubhava and Paramatma Anubhava, the two previous realizations are aimed at the branches of Jnana and Karma of the living beings and are partial realizations of the supreme truth. Paresha Tatva Bhagavata Anubhava is possible only through pure devotion, Bhakti and direct vision. The object that attains its true form is the real object. An object whose true form is not specified is an attribute of an object. The forms of both Brahman and Paramatma are not specified. Their attributes alone point to their purpose. Therefore they do not have a primary existence. They are merely secondary manifestations of Bhagavan. As such, they are accessible to only one or another faculty. Bhagavan is accessible to all faculties. The devotion Bhakti who is the Goddess Bhakti Devi who is the master of all faculties, encompasses all faculties and reveals the direct vision of Bhagavan. When this vision of devotion is fulfilled, all subordinate faculties are also satisfied. So devotional service Bhakti Yoga makes Bhagavan accessible. He exists. But Brahman and Paramatma exist in a subordinate sense. We see in the world today that impersonalism is rampant and people's idea of God is basically impersonal. So Lord Chaitanya, he is giving the absolute vision of Bhagavan that he is a person. Shanta, Garcia, Sakya, Vatsalya and Madhuriya, all of them are had with the personality of Godhead. We cannot have Dasya without a person. We cannot have Vatsalya or Madhuriya without a person. So these relationships with Krishna require the personality of Godhead. You cannot have parental Rasa unless you are the parent of a child.

Child means a person.

Child means a person. So unless, like Sakya, you cannot have a friend who is not a person.

Light bulb.

Just like if you say if my friend is my light bulb. Light bulb. I love you, light bulb. It is not realistic.

I had some research to go on. Hare Krishna said.

I had some research done. And in the Quran it says Allah is impersonal and Allah is personal.

Verses.

We have a devotee who is a research scholar. He researched the Quran and for verses which are where it says that Allah is impersonal and the verses where it says that Allah is personal. He is from the Muslim faith, He is from Azerbaijan. He said there is one verse which says Allah is light. Every other verse says that he is merciful, kind. You don't think of a light bulb as being merciful or kind. There are hundreds of verses which describe Allah with some personal guna. So Lord Chaitanya is establishing without a doubt that the supreme personality of Godhead Bhagavan is a person. Realization of Bhagawan is of four types namely Karma, Pradhani, Bhuta Anubhava. Realization predominant in action. Gyana Pradhani Bhuta Anubhava Realization predominant in knowledge. Karma, Gyana, Ubhaya, Pradhani, Bhuta Anubhava. Realization predominant in Both action and knowledge. 4 Kevalu Bhava Pure realization. As long as the living beings connection with matter is not cut off, the realization of Bhagavan does not happen. Same everywhere. For some whose intelligence is predominantly Karma oriented. The realization of Bhagavan manifests predominantly through actions Karma Pradhani Bhuta fathers whose intelligence is predominantly Jnana oriented. Their realization of Bhagavan manifests through knowledge. Similarly, those whose intelligence is dedicated to both Karma and Jnana experience realization that manifest through both Karma and Jnana. Karma, Gyana, Ubhaya, Pradhani Bhuta in the fructification that is even after liberation from matter, these three types of realization endowed with the glory of Bhagavan are observed at the ultimate stage of these individuals paths. They achieve three forms of proximity to the Lord. Salokya residents in the same realm, Sarashti sharing the Lord's opulences and Sami Pya closeness to the Lord. Those who follow only the path of Raganuga Bhakti, spontaneous devotional service during their practice attain knowledge during the time of fructification in the form of pure realization. Kevalu Bhava.

Describes how.

So this describes how the different glories of Bhagavan are realized. There is Karma, there is Dhyana, and there is Karma Gyana. And when one is free from the material condition, one gets Kevalami Power. Your realization, True realization. So so long as one is conditioned. Conditioned. Okay, okay. As long as one is not unconditioned. Kevalana Bhava or true realization is not achieved when a living entity is born to engage in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme Controller. His birth, all his activities, his lifespan, his mind and his words are all factually perfect. A civilized human being has three kinds of birth. The first birth is by a pure father and mother, and this birth is called birth by Semen. The next birth takes place when one is initiated by the spiritual master, and this birth is called Savitra. The third birth, called Yajnika, takes place when one is given the opportunity to worship Lord Vishnu. Despite the opportunities for attaining such births, even if one gets the lifespan of a demigod, if one does not actually engage in the service of the Lord, everything is useless. Similarly, one's activities may be mundane or spiritual, but they are useless if they are not meant for satisfying the Lord. Without devotional service. What is the meaning of severe austerities? The process of hearing, the power of speech, the power of mental speculation, elevated intelligence, strength and the power of the senses. Transcendental practices that do not ultimately help one realize the Supreme Personality of Godhead are useless, be they mystic yoga practices, the analytical study of matter, severe austerity, the acceptance of sannyas, or the study of Vedic literature. All these may be very important aspects of spiritual advancement. But unless one understands the supreme personality of God at Hari, all these processes are gooseless. Factually, the supreme personality of Godhead is the original source of all self realization. Consequently the goal of all auspicious activities, Karma, Gyana, Yoga and Bhakti is the supreme personality of Godhead. So just performing the activities but not pleasing Krishna is all useless. But Krishna is so kind that he lets us do devotional service and get his mercy. Navadri Dham has all the different Rasas in it. We were discussing today about Vaikunthapur Thakur. He is quoting Lord Nithyananda.

Here.

In Navadvip is not is non different from Vaikuntha in the spiritual world. There are different aspects of the spiritual world which exist in Navadvip and they are non different.

He came down, gave his avengers.

Lord Chaitanya is Krishna himself. And he came down and gave all these opulences in Navadvi Dhamma. So being in Navidham can get all the realizations of Ka.

Various worlds.

In Navadvir Dham you can find various abodes. Just like there is Vaikuntapur, there is Nasingapalli, there is Hari Harakshetra. So you can see all the different aspects of the spiritual world. The book distribution should be going on. Yesterday my result was relatively less.
