Text 64] Purafijana Becomes a Woman in the Next Life 1363
maya tatam idam sarvam
jagad avyakta-mirtina
mat-sthani sarva-bhiitani
na caham tesv avasthitah
“By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All
beings are in Me, but I am not in them.” (Bg. 9.4)

Although all living entities are resting in Him, as small fiery sparks
rest on a large flame, both are differently situated. Similarly, in the Visnu
Purana it is said:

eka-deSa-sthitasyagner
Jyotsna vistarint yatha
parasya brahmanah Ssaktis
tathedam akhilam jagat
“Fire is situated in one place, but it distributes heat and light. Similarly,
the Supreme Personality of Godhead is distributing His energies in different
ways.” The living entity is but one of these energies (marginal energy). The
energy and the energetic are one in one sense, but they are differently
situated as energy and the energetic. Similarly, the sac-cid-dnanda form
confirmed in Brahma-samhita (iSvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-anande-
vigrahah) is different from that of the living entity in both his conditioned
and liberated states. Only atheists consider the living entity and the Person-
ality of Godhead equal in all respects. Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore says,
mayavadi-bhasya sunile haya sarva-nasa. “If one follows the instructions of
Mayavadi philosophers and believes that the Supreme Personality of God-
head and the individual soul are one, his understanding of real philosophy is
forever doomed.”
