1582 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 31
TRANSLATION

Because the Supreme Lord is the cause of all causes, He is the Supersoul
of all individual living entities, and He exists as both the remote and imme-
diate cause. Since He is aloof from the material emanations, He is free
from their interactions and is Lord of material nature. You should there-
fore engage in His devotional service, thinking yourself qualitatively one
with Him.

PURPORT

According to Vedic calculations, there are three causes of creation—
time, the ingredient and the creator. Combined, these are called
tritayatmaka, the three causes. Everything in this material world is created
by these three causes. All of these causes are found in the Personality of
Godhead. As confirmed in Brahma-samhitd: sarva-kadrana-karanam. Narada
Muni therefore advises the Pracetaés to worship the direct cause, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. As stated before, when the root of a
tree is watered, all the parts are energized. According to the advice of
Narada Muni, one should directly engage in devotional service. This will
include all pious activity. Caitanya-caritamrta states: krsne bhakti kaile
sarva-karma krta haya. When one worships the Supreme Lord Krsna in
devotional service, he automatically performs all other pious activity. In
this verse the words sva-tejasi dhvasta-guna-pravaham are very significant.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead is never affected by the material
qualities, although they all emanate from His spiritual energy. Those who
are really conversant with this knowledge can utilize everything for the
service of the Lord because nothing in this material world is unconnected
to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
