Adi-lita, Chapter 4 265

Everything in the Absolute is inconceivable in relative existence. Therefore in
relative cognizance it is very difficult to assimilate this truth of the oneness between
the potent and the potency. The philosophy of inconceivable oneness and difference
propounded by Lord Caitanya is the only source of understanding for such intricacies
of transcendence.

In fact, Radharani is the internal potency of Sri Krsna, and She eternally intensi-
fies the pleasure of Srv Krsna. Impersonalists cannot understand this without the
help of a mahd-bhdgavata devotee. The very name Radha suggests that She is
eternally the topmost mistress of the comforts of Sri Krsna. As such, She is the
medium transmitting the living entities’ service to Sri Krsna. Devotees in Vrndavana
therefore seek the mercy of Srimati Radharani in order to be recognized as loving
servitors of Sri Krsna.

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu personally approaches the fallen conditioned souls
of the iron age to deliver the highest principle of transcendental relationships with
the Lord. The activities of Lord Caitanya are primarily in the role of the pleasure-
giving portion of His internal potency.

The absolute Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, is the omnipotent form of tran-
scendental existence, knowledge and bliss in full. His internal potency is exhibited
first as sat, or existence—or, in other words, as the portion that expands the existence
function of the Lord. The same potency while displaying full knowledge is called
cit, or samvit, which expands the transcendental forms of the Lord. Finally, the
same potency while playing as a pleasure-giving medium is known as Alddini, or the
transcendental blissful potency. Thus the Lord manifests His internal potency in
three transcendental divisions.
