Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
sunshine. Where the sun disc is covered by the glaring sunshine, similarly Your transcendental Form is covered by the  Brahmajyoti . I desire to find You within the  Brahmajyoti —therefore please remove this glaring effulgence.”
In this verse of  Isa Upanishad  it is clearly stated that the eternal, blissful, cognizant Form of the Supreme Lord is to be found within the glaring effulgence of  Brahmajyoti .  Brahmajyoti  is the emanation from the Personal Body of the Supreme Lord. Therefore the Personal Body of the Personality of Godhead is the source of the  Brahmajyoti  as it is described in the  Bhagavad Gita . The impersonal Brahman is dependent on the Supreme Personality. This is stated in the  Hayasirsa Pancharatra ; and, in any Upanishad or Vedic Scripture, wherever there is talk first of the impersonal Brahman, the Supreme Personality is finally established at the end. Just as we have quoted above from the  Isa Upanishad , the Supreme Absolute Truth is both impersonal and Personal eternally, but His Personal aspect is more important than the impersonal concept.
The Mantra in the  Taetreia Upanishad  is:  Yato va imani bhutani jayante . According to this Mantra this cosmic manifestation is an emanation from the Supreme Absolute Truth, and it rests also in the Supreme Absolute Truth. So the Absolute Truth becomes the ablative and causative and locative Performer. Therefore, as Performer, He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These are the symptoms of Personality. This Absolute Truth being ablative Performer of this cosmic manifestation, it is to be concluded that He has thinking, feeling and willing. Without these three psychic symptoms there is no possibility of such a nice arrangement and design of the cosmic manifestation. Then again He is causative: He is the Original Designer of the cosmic manifestation. And He is locative: everything is resting in His energy. These are the clear symptoms of His Personality.
Then again, in the  Chandyago Upanishad , when the Supreme Personality of Godhead desires to become many, He turns over the material Nature. As it is confirmed in the  Taiitariya Upanishad , “The Lord glanced over the material Nature.” There was no existence of the cosmic manifestation before His glancing, and therefore this glancing does not mean that He has a glancing or seeing power which is materially contaminated. His seeing power existed before the material Creation, and therefore His body is also not material. His thinking, feeling and acting are transcendental. In other words it is to be concluded that the mind by which the Lord thinks, feels and wills, is transcendental; the eyes by which He glances over the material Nature are also transcendental. All of His senses existed before the material Creation, and so He has His tran-
