everything.” Mattah sarvarh pravartate: ““Whatever exists in the cre-
ation emanates from Me.” [ti matvd bhajante mam budha bhava-saman-
vitah: ““When one fully understands that I create everything by My
omnipotence, one becomes firmly situated in devotional service and fully
surrenders at My lotus feet.”” Unfortunately, the unintelligent cannot im-
mediately understand Krsna’s supremacy. Nonetheless, if they associate
with devotees and read authorized books, they may gradually come to the
proper understanding, although this may take many, many births. As
Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita (7.19):
bahiinam janmanam ante
Jfidnavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti
sa mahatma sudurlabhah
‘After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surren-
ders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is.
Such a great soul is very rare.” Vasudeva, Krsna, is the creator of every-
thing, and His energy is displayed in various ways. As explained in
Bhagavad-gita (7.4-5), a combination of the material energy (bhumir
Gpo ’nalo vayuh) and the spiritual energy, the living entity, exists in
every creation. Therefore the same principle, the combination of the
supreme spirit and the material elements, is the cause of the cosmic
manifestation.
