PLATE FIVE

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond the creation of this
material world, for He is the source of the material qualities and cre-
ation.” (p.221) In the beginning of the creation, the Lord expands Him-
self in the form of the purusa incarnation, Maha-Visnu. Lying in the
Causal Ocean, the Supreme Personality of Godhead glances over His un-
manifest material energy (shown here as Durga, the personification of
material nature). At that time the living entities, who are His parts and
parcels, are impregnated into material nature.
