102 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Garbhodakagayi Visnu to Ksirodakasayi Visnu, and from Ksirodakasayi
Visnu to everyone’s heart, are manifestations of His spiritual energy.
They are not conducted by the material energy; therefore they are not
temporary. Anything conducted by the material energy is temporary, but
everything executed by the spiritual energy is eternal.

Lord Brahma reconfirmed his statement establishing Krsna as the
original Narayana. He said that the gigantic universal body is still resting
on the water known as Garbhodaka. He spoke as follows: “This gigantic
body of the universe is another manifestation of Your energy. On account
of His resting on the water, this universal form is also Narayana, and we

thereafter You expanded Yourself as Your friends, the calves and all the
existence of Vrndavana; then I saw You and all the boys as four-handed
Visnus, and They were being worshiped by all elements and all demigods,
including myself. Again They all became cowherd boys, and You remained
alone as You were before. Does this not mean that You are the Supreme
Lord Narayana, the origin of everything, and from You everything
emanates, and again everything enters unto You, and You remain the
same as before?”

“Persons who are unaware of Your inconceivable energy cannot under-
stand that You alone expand Yourself as the creator Brahma, maintainer
Visnu, and annihilator Siva. Persons who are not in awareness of things as
