592 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 2, Ch. 10

another conditioned soul, are supernatural and impossible for the condi-
tioned soul. He, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is always unaffected
by such activities. In the Bhagavad-gita the Lord says:

na mam karmani limpanti na me karma-phale sprha
iti mam yo’bhijanati karmabhir na sa baddhyati
(Bg. 4.14)

The Lord is never affected by the activities which He apparently
performs by His different incarnations and personalities, nor does He have
any desire to achieve success by fruitive activities. The Lord is full by His
different potencies of wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and
renunciation, and thus He has no reason for physical exertion like the
conditioned soul. Therefore an intelligent person who can distinguish
between the transcendental activities of the Lord and those of the condi-
tioned souls also is not bound by the reactions of activities. The Lord as
Visnu, Brahma and Siva conducts the three modes of material nature.
From Visnu is born Brahma, and from Brahma is born Siva. Sometimes
Brahma is a separated part of Visnu, and sometimes Brahma is Visnu
Himself. Thus Brahma creates the different species of life all over the
universe, which means that the Lord creates the whole manifestation
either Himself or through the agency of His authorized deputies.
