TRANSLATION

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His original form is full of eternity,
knowledge and bliss. The spiritual potency in these three portions [sat, cit
and dnandal assumes three different forms.

PURPORT

According to the verdict of all Vedic literature, the Supreme Personality of God-
head, the living entity and the illusory energy (this material world) constitute the
subject matter of knowledge. Everyone should try to understand the relationship
between them. First of all, one should try to understand the nature of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. From the sastras we understand that the nature
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the sum total of eternity, bliss and
knowledge. As stated in verse 154 (visnu-saktih para prokta), the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead is the reservoir of all potencies, and His potencies are all
spiritual.
