““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) Everything is an ex-
pansion of Krsna’s energy. As it is said, pardsya saktir vividhaiva
Srityate: the Lord has multi-energies, which are expressed in different
ways. The energies are existing, and the Supreme Personality of God-
head also exists simultaneously; because everything is His energy, He is
simultaneously one with everything and different from everything. Thus
our speculative theories that dtmd, the living force, is a combination of
matter, that matter is a transformation of the soul, or that the body is
part of the soul are all insubstantial.

Since all the Lord’s energies are simultaneously existing, one must
understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But although He is
everything, He is not present in everything. The Lord must be worshiped
in His original form as Krsna. He can also present Himself in any one of
His various expanded energies. When we worship the Deity of the Lord
in the temple, the Deity appears to be stone or wood. Now, because the
Supreme Lord does not have a material body, He is not stone or wood, yet
stone and wood are not different from Him. Thus by worshiping stone or
wood we get no result, but when the stone and wood are represented in
the Lord’s original form, by worshiping the Deity we get the desired
result. This is supported by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s philosophy,
acintya-bhedabheda, which explains how the Lord can present Himself
everywhere and anywhere in a form of His energy to accept service from
the devotee.
