“Everything in the cosmic manifestation emanates from the Absolute Truth, remains in the Absolute Truth, and after annihilation again enters the Absolute Truth.
</div>
<div class="text">
In the Taittirīya Upaniṣad (3.1) it is said, yato vā imāni bhūtāni jāyante: “The entire material cosmic manifestation is born of the Supreme Brahman.” Also, the Brahma-sūtra begins with the verse janmādy asya yataḥ: ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]) “The Absolute Truth is that from whom everything emanates.” (BS 1.1.2) That Absolute Truth is Kṛṣṇa. In the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8|BG 10.8]]), Kṛṣṇa says, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate: “I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me.” Therefore Kṛṣṇa is the original Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Again, Kṛṣṇa states in the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 9.4 (1972)|BG 9.4]]), mayā tatam idaṁ sarvaṁ jagad avyakta-mūrtinā: “By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded.” And as confirmed in the Brahma-saṁhitā (BS 5.38), goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ: “Although the Lord always stays in His abode, Goloka Vṛndāvana, He is still all-pervading.” His all-pervasive feature is understood to be impersonal because one does not find the form of the Lord in that all-pervasiveness. Actually, everything is resting on the rays of His bodily effulgence. The Brahma-saṁhitā (BS 5.38) also states:

:koṭiṣv aśeṣa-vasudhādi-vibhūti-bhinnam

Due to the rays of the Lord’s bodily effulgence, millions of universes are created, just as planets are created from the sun.
