The original cause is being explained by Vyāsadeva. Janmādy asya yataḥ (SB 1.1.1). Now, what type of that supreme cause is that? Is it a stone or sentient? No. Vyāsadeva informs, no. The original cause, how it can be a stone? Original cause cannot be. It must be sentient. Creator must be sentient. Without brain, without creative power, how there can be creation? Where is your argument? No. That is not. These are false arguments. Therefore Vyāsadeva gives you information that He is sentient, in full knowledge. In full knowledge. What kind of knowledge? Anvaya-vyatirekābhyām (SB 2.9.36): directly and indirectly. That is full knowledge.

When the soul is out, the body is dead, useless. That we can experience. Anubhāva. It is called anubhāva, perception. So anyone, any sane man, can understand there is something missing. The scientists also say: "There something missing." Now, what is that missing they cannot say. If they knew it, what is missing, then they are scientists, they could produce again that thing by laboratory mixture of chemicals and put it into the body, and he becomes alive. No. That is not possible. Acintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvā na tāṁs tarkeṇa yojayet (Mahābhārata, Bhīṣma parva 5.22). Therefore Veda says that, "Don't uselessly argue on subject matter which is beyond your perception." That is not the process.

So here, the original cause is being explained by Vyāsadeva. Janmādy asya yataḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). Now, what type of that supreme cause is that? Is it a stone or sentient? No. Vyāsadeva informs, no. The original cause, how it can be a stone? Original cause cannot be. It must be sentient. Creator must be sentient.

Without brain, without creative power, how there can be creation? Where is your argument? No. That is not. These are false arguments. Therefore Vyāsadeva gives you information that He is sentient, in full knowledge. In full knowledge. What kind of knowledge? Anvaya-vyatirekābhyām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.9.36|SB 2.9.36]]): directly and indirectly. That is full knowledge.

Just like I say: "My head" or "My hair," but if I ask you or you ask me that, "How many hairs are there?" oh, I am ignorant—I do not know. Similarly, we are so imperfect that we may have little knowledge even of our own body. We are eating, but how the eatables are being transformed into secretion, how they are becoming blood, how they are being passed through the heart, and it becomes red, and again diffuse all over the veins, and in this way the body is maintained, we know something, but how the work is going on, how this factory is going on, how the factory, machine, is working, we have very little knowledge. So indirectly we know that, "This is my body." "Indirectly" means we have heard, but we have no direct knowledge.

But Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme, the original of everything, He knows everything, anvaya-vyatirekābhyām, indirectly and directly. Kṛṣṇa knows. I do not know how my body is working, but Kṛṣṇa knows. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā: kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata ([[Vanisource:BG 13.3 (1972)|BG 13.3]]). Kṣetra-jña . . . He is real, Supersoul. There is a Supersoul who is in knowledge of everything.
