situated in one place, but by its energies many different types of machinery move. The production is never identical with the original source of the energy, but the original source of energy, being the prime factor, is simultaneously one and different from the product. Therefore, Lord Caitanya's philosophy,  acintya-bhedābheda-tattva , is the perfect way of understanding.

The living entities are created through the agency of the father, and they are killed through the agency of death, but He is perpetually free of birth and death.
PURPORT
The supreme authority and inconceivable power of the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be minutely studied from this verse. He is always unlimited. That means that He has no creation or end. He is, however, death (in the form of time), as described in  Bhagavad-gītā . Kṛṣṇa says, "I
