102 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 12
words, the ingredients of the cosmic manifestation also consist of the en-
ergy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This does not mean,
however, that because the ingredients come from Him, He is no longer
complete. Pirnasya piirnam ddaya pirnam evavasisyate: “Because He
is the complete whole, even though so many complete units emanate
from Him, He remains the complete balance.” Thus the Lord is called
avyaya, inexhaustible. Unless we accept the Absolute Truth as acintya-
bhedabheda, simultaneously one and different, we cannot have a clear
conception of the Absolute Truth. The Lord is the root of everything.
Aham ddir hi devanam: He is the original cause of all the devas, or
demigods. Aham sarvasya prabhavah: everything emanates from Him.
In all cases—nominative, objective, positive, negative and so on—what-
ever we may conceive of in this entire cosmic manifestation is in fact the
Supreme Lord. For Him there are no such distinctions as “‘this is mine,
and this belongs to someone else,” because He is everything. He is
therefore called avyaya—changeless and inexhaustible. Because the
Supreme Lord is avyaya, He is the Absolute Truth, the fully spiritual
Supreme Brahman.
