What Is Our Actual Value?

yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānam srjāmy aham
“Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself.”
God comes to this world in person, He leaves behind His instructions like those of  Bhagavad-gītā , and He leaves behind His devotees who can explain who God is, but still we are so stubborn that we do not accept God. This is foolishness. In  Bhagavad-gītā  those who do not accept God are called  mūḍhāḥ —rascals and fools.
God exists, and God’s energy also exists, so if we cannot see God we can at least see His energy. We may not see the electric powerhouse and the engineer within it generating power, but we use electricity in so many ways. Therefore we should inquire where this electricity comes from. This is intelligence, and if one inquires in this way he will eventually find the powerhouse itself. Similarly, if one studies further to find out who is running the powerhouse, one will find a human being. Although the electricity is impersonal and even the powerhouse is impersonal, the man behind everything is a person. Similarly, God is a person. This is a logical conclusion. How can He be impersonal? That which is impersonal has no intelligence. We have invented so many very wonderful machines, but the machines are not intelligent. The intelligence belongs to the operator. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says,  mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram : “You are seeing the energy displayed in the wonderful actions and reactions of this material cosmic manifestation, but don’t think that they are working independently. No, I am behind them.”
Kṛṣṇa further says:
mayā tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-mūrtinā mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni na cāham teṣv avasthitaḥ
“By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.” (Bg. 9.4) That which is  avyakta , unmanifested, also has  mūrti , a form. The sky, for example, is  avyakta , unmanifest, but it also has a form—the round form of the universe. If we
