Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
TRANSLATION
Kṛṣṇa's mother, father, abode, house, bedding, seats and so on are all transformations of śuddha-sattva.
PURPORT
Lord Kṛṣṇa's father, mother and household affairs are all displayed in the same  viśuddha-sattva  existence. A living entity situated in the status of pure goodness can understand the form, quality and other features of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kṛṣṇa consciousness begins on the platform of pure goodness. Although there is a faint realization of Kṛṣṇa at first, Kṛṣṇa is actually realized as Vāsudeva, the absolute proprietor of omnipotence or the prime predominating Deity of all potencies. When the living entity is situated in  viśuddha-sattva , transcendental to the three material modes of nature, he can perceive the form, quality and other features of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through his service attitude. The status of pure goodness is the platform of understanding, for the Supreme Lord is always in spiritual existence.
Kṛṣṇa is always all-spiritual. Aside from the parents of the Personality of Godhead, all the other paraphernalia of His existence is also essentially a manifestation of  sandhinī śakti , or a transformation of  viśuddha-sattva . To make this more clear, it may be said that this  sandhinī śakti  of the internal potency maintains and manifests all the variegatedness of the spiritual world. In the kingdom of God, the Lord's servants and maidservants, His consorts, His father and mother and everything else are all transformations of the spiritual existence of  sandhinī śakti . The existential  sandhinī śakti  in the external potency similarly expands all the variegatedness of the material cosmos, from which we can have a glimpse of the spiritual field.
