The prakṛti cannot give birth to the varieties. That is wrong theory. That is wrong theory. The real variety begins when the prakṛti is in touch with the puruṣa. That is our experience also. How we can say that prakṛti can give birth or woman can give birth to a child or many children without being touch with man? Where is our experience? There is no such thing.

When the Supreme Personality of Godhead glanced over the ''prakṛti, mahat-tattva'', then the three ''guṇas'' agitated, and she begins to give birth in so many varieties of the twenty-four elements. We have already discussed the twenty-four elements. The ingredients are there. That is ''prakṛti''. And ''pradhāna'' means when they are not manifest, and ''prakṛti ''means when they are manifest. And ''prakṛti, pradhāna'', and above them, there is the ''puruṣa''. That ''puruṣa'' is Bhagavān, ''sa bhagavān. Ceṣṭā yataḥ sa bhagavān''. Wherefrom the ''prakṛti ''begins to manifest, that is with the touch of Bhagavān. How touch? ''Sa aikṣata'': by simply glancing over, the ''prakṛti'' becomes pregnant.

Now we cannot understand how one can make his wife pregnant simply by glancing. That is possible by Bhagavān. Therefore He is called Almighty. We have got experience, if we want to make pregnant my wife, then we have to use certain sense. That particular sense can make pregnancy. But the Supreme Personality of Godhead, being all-powerful, He can do anything from anywhere from any sense. That is almighty. We speak of almighty—"God is almighty"—but we do not understand what is the Almighty. This is almighty. The Almighty Lord, simply by glancing over ''prakṛti'', He makes the ''prakṛti'' pregnant, and the ''prakṛti'' produces so many varieties of life. ''Ceṣṭā. Ceṣṭā yataḥ sa bhagavān''.

So the ''prakṛti'' cannot give birth to the varieties. That is wrong theory. That is wrong theory. The real variety begins when the ''prakṛti'' is in touch with the ''puruṣa''. That is our experience also. How we can say that ''prakṛti'' can give birth or woman can give birth to a child or many children without being touch with man? Where is our experience? There is no such thing. Therefore we should not take ''prakṛti'' as everything. We must find out the ''Puruṣa''. Therefore the ''puruṣa'' who gives birth to these material varieties, that is Lord Śiva, and the ''prakṛti'' which gives birth to these varieties, that is Durgā. Therefore the original ''prakṛti'' and ''puruṣa'' is represented by ''śiva-liṅga'' and ''devī-patha''. Those who are worshiper of ''śiva-liṅga'', they know the ''devī-patha'' and the ''śiva-liṅga'', they are worshiped. The original father, Kṛṣṇa, says, ''ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā'': "I am the seed-giving father." ''Sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayo yāḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]]). There are varieties of forms of life. How they are being begotten? Kṛṣṇa says, ''ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā''. That ''pitā'', father, is Lord Śiva.
