### CC Adi 5.54

> চিন্ময়-জল সেই পরম কারণ ।\
> যার এক কণা গঙ্গা পতিতপাবন ॥৫৪॥

> cinmaya-jala sei parama kāraṇa\
> yāra eka kaṇā gaṅgā patita-pāvana

*cit-maya*—spiritual; *jala*—water; *sei*—that; *parama kāraṇa*—original cause; *yāra*—of which; *eka*—one; *kaṇā*—drop; *gaṅgā*—the sacred Ganges; *patita-pāvana*—the deliverer of fallen souls.

**The water of the Kāraṇa Ocean, which is the original cause, is therefore spiritual. The sacred Ganges, which is but a drop of it, purifies the fallen souls.**
