Kṛṣṇa is not like that because Kṛṣṇa has spread by his energies, prakṛti. Energy means prakṛti, that does not mean Kṛṣṇa is finished. This is Māyāvād philosophy, that when Brahma the supreme is distributed everywhere the original form or the fact is finished. No. That is not being done. That Īśopaniṣad is said that, He is so perfect and complete, even complete is taken away from complete it is still complete, that is Brahma.

What is this jagat? Manifestation, the manifestation is, energy, energy of Kṛṣṇa. Energy of the supreme Brahma. The whole atmosphere is just like the sunshine. We can exactly understand what is the position of this material world. What is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, what is the spiritual world. By nature study you can understand. As it is explained in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner. Just like fire is situated in one place, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner, jyotsnā vistāriṇī yathā, but it is illuminating. Everyone, we can understand the same thing, just like the sun glow is situated in one corner of the sky but the sunshine is illuminating, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner. The agni, or the fire is situated in one place but the elimination is distributing. So, just like the sunshine is spread all over the universe, but it is that we can see every day the sun globe is situated in one place. Not that the sun glow is distributed, spread all over the universe. The sunshine, similarly there is fire the elimination is distributing, the heat also. Two energies of the fire, so because the energy of the fire is distributed all over the universe it does not mean the fire is finished. No. Fire is there, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. ([[Vanisource:ISO Invocation|ISO Invocation]]) That is Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is expanding himself. Just like the heat and light but that does not mean Kṛṣṇa is finished. It is not material, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya, pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. Kṛṣṇa is spread in so many ways by his energy, by his personal expansion. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam ādyaṁ purāṇa-puruṣaṁ nava-yauvanaṁ ca. (Bs. 5.33) He is not finished, this is material idea that if Brahma is spread everywhere then where is the existence of Brahma in one place? This is the Māyāvādī idea, just like you take a big paper, a newspaper and tear it into pieces and throw all over the original newspaper is finished.

Kṛṣṇa is not like that because Kṛṣṇa has spread by his energies, prakṛti. Energy means prakṛti, that does not mean Kṛṣṇa is finished. This is Māyāvād philosophy, that when Brahma the supreme is distributed everywhere the original form or the fact is finished. No. That is not being done. That Īśopaniṣad is said that, He is so perfect and complete, even complete is taken away from complete it is still complete, that is Brahma. We have got this limited idea, I have got balance say $1000 in the bank and if it is taken little by little the whole balance is finished. It is not like that. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya, pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. You have got $1,000 you take $1,000 is still $1,000, this is spiritual. One plus one equal to one. One minus one equal to one. That is described here that brahmārpaṇaṁ brahma havir, brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam. Actually, the sacrificer, the ingredients, just like grains, and gee is being offered in the fire. So, the fire is also Brahma, the ingredients are also Brahma, the person who is offering ingredients, he is also Brahma. But in different categories. Not that because everything is being Brahma, therefore everything is God. No. Everything is, this is called Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy, acintya-bhedābheda-tattva. The example can be given, just like a drop of seawater and the sea. Chemical composition is the same, but the drop of seawater is not equal to the sea. This is Vaiṣṇava philosophy.

The Māyāvādī philosophy is, the drop when it is taken then it is separate and again if you put it there then it is one. So, the Vaiṣṇava philosophy accepts it is one and separate. Both. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy, acintya-bhedābheda, simultaneously one and different. And it is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā that, mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ jagad avyakta-mūrtinā. ([[Vanisource:BG 9.4 (1972)|BG 9.4]]) I am spread all over the universe, jagad avyakta-mūrtinā. Nonmanifested mūrti, He has got his mūrti. He says mayā, by Me, Me means person, mayā. So, how He is spread? Just like we are person, I am here but I am not in my apartment. You are here, you are not in your house. That is the difference between Kṛṣṇa and me. Kṛṣṇa is also a person, I am also person but Kṛṣṇa can remain anywhere and everywhere and still he remains His personality, that is Kṛṣṇa. Akhilātma-bhūto. (Bs 5.37) That is stated in Brahma-saṁhitā.
