“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, the one who enlivens
the senses of everyone by His personal bodily rays, resides in His transcen-
dental abode, called Goloka. Yet He is present in every nook and corner of
His creation by expansion of happy spiritual rays, equal in power to His
personal potency of bliss.” He is therefore simultaneously personal and
impersonal by His inconceivable potency, or He is the one without a
second, displaying complete unity in diversity of material and spiritual
manifestations. He is separated from everything, and still nothing is dif-
ferent from Him.
