Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

When we understand, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, that mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10). So that is the real understanding, to understand the law maker. Not to be struck with wonder with the activities of the law. The Vaiṣṇavas, they are concerned with the background law maker. And if you know the law maker, then automatically you know the laws, how they are acting. Yasmin vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati (Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.3), the Vedic literature says.

Material energy has to act to bewilder the living entity. That is under the direction of Kṛṣṇa. We living entities under the material energy, we wanted to lord it over the material nature. So Kṛṣṇa has given us facility, "All right. You try to." Because you cannot lord it over. This is false. But I have got the tendency to lord it over the material nature. So He's giving me the chance, but actually I cannot. Jaḍa-bidyā jato māyāra vaibhava (Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura).

Now in the modern trend of civilization we are trying to control over the material nature, but actually we are being defeated. We try to control one law and we are being defeated by another law. Therefore great scientists like Professor Einstein, they thought defeated. That is explained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: parābhavas tāvad abodha-jātaḥ (SB 5.5.5). So long we are in ignorance how these laws of nature are working under the Supreme direction, so our study of all these material nature's law is defeat. This is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.

And when we understand, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, that mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10). So that is the real understanding, to understand the law maker. Not to be struck with wonder with the activities of the law. The Vaiṣṇavas, they are concerned with the background law maker. And if you know the law maker, then automatically you know the laws, how they are acting. Yasmin vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati (Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.3), the Vedic literature says.

So when we understand Kṛṣṇa in perfection we can understand how His energy and different energies are working; it will be revealed to us. And because all energies are working under the direction of Kṛṣṇa, because it is in touch with Kṛṣṇa, therefore nothing is inferior or material; everything is spiritual. And higher platform, therefore, one can understand, sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.14.1). Whatever is acting . . .

In the Viṣṇu Purāṇa also, the same thing is confirmed, parasya brahmaṇaḥ śaktis tathedam akhilaṁ jagat (Viṣṇu Purāṇa 1.22.53). Whatever we are experiencing, that is simply action and reaction of the different energy of the Supreme Lord. Parasya brahmaṇaḥ śaktis tathedam akhilaṁ jagat. So when we understand Kṛṣṇa perfectly, then this distinction of "superior," "inferior," will disappear.
