He must be aware of everything. That means life. That means life. Now the question is how He became experienced. Svarāṭ, independent. Just like we require experience, knowledge, from somebody else. Experience, knowledge, is not gained automatically, but the Absolute means that He is full of knowledge.

Prabhupāda: I have heard that mathematics believes from some imaginary thing, minus, so on, like that.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: The absolute numbers?

Prabhupāda: Something minus one, like that. Who is mathematician here?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: (laughs) Here is our mathematician.

Prabhupāda: Ah, so is that the beginning of mathematics?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: What is the beginning of mathematics?

Sadāpūta: Well, the beginning of mathematics is counting a number. We have that square root of minus one.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That I heard. The beginning is minus one. That is imaginary; it is not fact. But they imagine something at the beginning.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes. In fact it is called imaginary number. Square root of minus one.

Prabhupāda: Yes, if mathematics begins with imaginary something, why not Absolute Truth? That Absolute Truth must be life. As ''Bhāgavata'' explains, ''janmādy asya yato 'nvayād itarataś cārtheṣv abhijñaḥ'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). He must be aware of everything. That means life. That means life. Now the question is how He became experienced. ''Svarāṭ'', independent. Just like we require experience, knowledge, from somebody else. Experience, knowledge, is not gained automatically, but the Absolute means that He is full of knowledge. How He got knowledge? ''Svarāṭ'', independently. That is the description. You have to imagine at least like that. It is Vedic injunction, it is the fact, that Absolute Truth independently cognizant of everything. That is Absolute Truth.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Now we want to describe something about this Absolute Truth. His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda has explained that Absolute Truth is that from which everything comes: ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). Now what is the Absolute Truth, and how the Absolute Truth is to be known? Now in ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'', Absolute Truth is described, ''anādir ātmā puruṣo nirguṇaḥ prakṛteḥ paraḥ'' ([[vanisource:SB 3.26.3|SB 3.26.3]]). The Absolute Truth, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the Supreme Soul, and He has no beginning, ''anādir'', He has no beginning. And He is also ''nirguṇa'', He's transcendental to the material modes of nature. And ''prakṛteḥ para'', beyond the existence of this material world.
