material elements, the senses, the sense objects, the mind, in-
telligence and false ego, the various kinds of living entities, and

PURPORT
In Bhagavad-gita, the Supreme Personality of Godhead says, aham

sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate: Krsna is the origin of
everything. Vdsudevah sarvam iti: Krsna is everything. Mat-sthani
sarva-bhitdni na caéham tesv avasthitah: everything rests in the body of
the Lord, yet the Lord is not everywhere. Mayavadi philosophers think
that since the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, has
become everything, He has no separate existence. Their philosophy is
called advaita-vada. Actually, however, their philosophy is not correct.
Here, Bali Maharaja was the seer of the Personality of Godhead’s univer-
sal body, and that body was that which was seen. Thus there is duaita-
vada; there are always two entities—the seer and the seen. The seer is a
part of the whole, but he is not equal to the whole. The part of the whole,
the seer, is also one with the whole, but since he is but a part, he cannot
be the complete whole at any time. This acintya-bhedabheda—
simultaneous oneness and difference—is the perfect philosophy pro-

pounded by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
