Text 20] The Movements of the Living Entities 1335

stand the position of his self, the Supersoul, the world and their interrela-
tion; everything is possible by controlling the senses. Otherwise, we are no
better than animals.

Real self-realization by means of controlling the senses is explained
herein. One should try to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead and
his own self also. To think oneself the same as the Supreme is not self-
realization. Here it is clearly explained that the Supreme Lord is anadi, or
purana, and He has no other cause. The living entity is born of the
Supreme Godhead as part and parcel. It is confirmed in the Brahma-
samhita, anadir adir govindah: Govinda, the Supreme Person, has no cause.
He is unborn. But the living entity is born of Him. As confirmed in
Bhagavad-gita, mamaivamsah: both the living entity and the Supreme Lord
are unborn, but it has to be understood that the supreme cause of the
part and parcel is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Brahma-samhita
therefore says that everything has come from the Supreme Personality of
Godhead (sarva-karana-karanam). The Vedanta-sutra confirms this also.
Janmady asya yatah: the Absolute Truth is the original source of every-
one’s birth. Krsna also says in Bhagavad-gita, aharh sarvasya prabhavah: ‘I
am the source of birth of everything, including Brahma and Lord Siva and
the living entities.” This is self-realization. One should know that he is
under the control of the Supreme Lord and not think that he is fully
independent. Otherwise, why should he be put into conditional life?
