Kṛṣṇa says that, "Whenever I come," yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata (BG 4.7), "Whenever there is discrepancies in the discharging of religious principle," adharmasya, abhyutthānam . . . abhyutthānam adharmasya, "and there is great predominance of irreligiosity," tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham, "I, at that time, I come." Paritra . . . why? Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8): "Just to save the pious and the righteous and to vanquish the impious." So these are stated in the Bhagavad-gītā.

Therefore natural conclusion, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, that His potencies, His body and His activities—everything spiritual. There is nothing material.

In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said that, "This material nature is under My control." And in another place it is said:

<div class="quote_verse">
:mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ
:sūyate sa-carācaram
:hetunānena kaunteya
:jagad viparivartate 
:([[Vanisource:BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]])
</div>

"The whole cosmic manifestation is rolling on under My superintendence." Mayādhyakṣeṇa. "Under My order, under My supervision," prakṛtiḥ, "this, oh, the huge, gigantic material nature, is working under Me," hetunānena, "and, on this account, there is rules and regulation, everything is being done nicely."

So Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that, "Because Brahman, or the Supreme Lord, is the greatest, therefore His body cannot be made of this material nature." Because material nature is created at a certain interval, and who creates? He creates, the Supreme Lord.

The creator, therefore, cannot be under the material nature. If I am creator of something, so I cannot be under the . . . that particular thing which is created. It is logical. So therefore, because the Supreme Brahman, or Bhagavān, is the creator of this material nature, He cannot be under the control of māyā. He is . . .

And that is also stated in Bhagavad-gītā, many places. Sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā ([[Vanisource:BG 4.6 (1972)|BG 4.6]]). Ātma-māyayā. Not this māyā. Māyā means potency. So we have got the experience of this potency, material potency, but there is another potency which is called spiritual potency. So spiritual potency is the internal energy of Kṛṣṇa, and material potency is the external energy.

So Kṛṣṇa says that, "Whenever I come," yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata ([[Vanisource:BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]]), "Whenever there is discrepancies in the discharging of religious principle," adharmasya, abhyutthānam . . . abhyutthānam adharmasya, "and there is great predominance of irreligiosity," tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham, "I, at that time, I come." Paritra . . . why? Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām ([[Vanisource:BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]]): "Just to save the pious and the righteous and to vanquish the impious." So these are stated in the Bhagavad-gītā.

Therefore natural conclusion, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, that His potencies, His body and His activities—everything spiritual. There is nothing material. Cid-vibhūti ācchadi' tāṅre kahe 'nirākāra' ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 7.112|CC Adi 7.112]]). And when there is some indication of impersonalism in the Vedas, it should be understood that His body is not of this material nature. If somebody says that "God does not belong to this matter," that is all right. That does not mean He's impersonal. He has got His spiritual body. Matter is denied.
