<div class="heading">The energies are coming. Energy... You have got also energy; I have got my energy. You cut your hair; automatically the hair will again grow. Do you know what is that energy?

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 7.5 -- Nairobi, November 1, 1975|Lecture on BG 7.5 -- Nairobi, November 1, 1975]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">
The superior energy and the inferior energy, this is the material world, combination of two energies. Just like this body, your body, my body, everyone's body. What is this? The combination of these two energies, the superior energy and the inferior energy. The inferior energy, ''bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ'', the gross body—earth, water. . . This gross body means earth, water, air and ether, and then the subtle body—mind, intelligence and ego—these eight combination. So this is not actually I. I am soul. Therefore this is ''aparā'', inferior. But what I am, that is superior. That is explained here, ''jīva-bhūta''. Beyond these two gross and subtle energies there is another, superior energy. ''Apareyam itas tu anyām. Anyām'' means another. ''Itas tu. . . Apareyam itas tu anyām prakṛtim''. Another ''prakṛti'', energy, is there. ''Viddhi me parām''. That is superior. What is that? ''Jīva-bhūta'', that living being which is within the gross and subtle body. That living being.

So the modern scientists, they cannot understand this. It is clearly stated, distinction between the inferior energy and the superior energy. Both of them are energies, and Kṛṣṇa is the energetic. It is, everything, coming from Kṛṣṇa, energy, just like heat and light come from the fire. The fire is distinct from the heat and light.

:''eka-deśa-sthitasyāgner''
:''jyotsnā vistāriṇī yathā''
:''parasya brahmaṇaḥ śaktis''
:''tathedam akhilaṁ jaga''
:(''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' 1.22.53)

Just like fire is there, we can see. If you study whatever God has created, if you simply study, you become a philosopher. Just like the sun is situated in one place. Every day we can see. It is ''agni'', fiery substance. So heat and light is distributed, and through the heat of the light, heat and light of the sun, all other planets are created and the vegetation and all products are being coming out. Without sunlight you cannot do anything. Heat and light, it is essential.

Similarly, the whole material world or any world, spiritual world, they are manifestation of the supreme energetic. The energies are coming. Energy. . . You have got also energy; I have got my energy. You cut your hair; automatically the hair will again grow. Do you know what is that energy? But there is energy. Otherwise a dead man shaved will not grow, will not grow any more hair—finished. But a living man, because he has got that energy, so today you shave, again tomorrow there is hair. This is called inconceivable energy. Even I do not know what is that energy, you do not know what is that energy. We can talk foolishly some bombastic word, "These cells and this and that," and so many things, but it is not in our control.

So these two energies, material energy and the spiritual energy—one is superior and one is inferior—they are working within this world, mixture. And the spiritual world means there is no material energy, simply spiritual energy. There is no material energy; everything is spiritual energy. There is no material body, there is no. . . This ''bhūmi''. . . The land in the spiritual world is not land like this land.

:''cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-''
:''lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam''
:''lakṣmī-sahasra-śata-sambhrama-sevyamānaṁ''
:''govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''
:([[Vanisource:Bs. 5.29|Bs. 5.29]])

The ''Brahma-saṁhitā''. This is the description of the spiritual world. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu''. There are also buildings, but that buildings is not like this building, bricks and stone. ''Cintāmaṇi''—touchstone. ''Cintāmaṇi-prakara. Prakara'' means houses. ''Sadmasu kalpa''. There are also trees, but those trees are spiritual tree. How? Now, ''kalpa-vṛkṣa''. Here go to a mango tree, you get mangoes, but there to go any tree, you ask for mango or any fruit or anything—it will be supplied. That we cannot imagine, that how one tree can supply everything. Yes, that can, because they are spiritual. Spiritual. Just like my disciples, if I say, "Bring mango," so he'll go anywhere and bring mango because he is spirit soul, living. But if I ask this pillow, "Bring mango," it will not be possible. (laughter)

That is the distinction between material and spiritual. And these foolish, they are trying to prepare spiritual energy by combination of material energy. Just see their foolishness. They are trying to create living force by chemical combination. So therefore sometimes we say. . . I do not say; Kṛṣṇa says, that ''mūḍhāḥ'', rascals. This is not possible. You cannot manufacture life by combination of material chemicals. That is not possible. Here it is said that ''aparā''. The material ingredients—chemical is also material ingredient—you cannot produce. It is a different thing, ''jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho''. How it is superior? ''Yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat'' ([[Vanisource:BG 7.5 (1972)|BG 7.5]]). Because the spiritual energy is there, therefore this world is important. Otherwise it has no value.</p>
