Text 45] The Demigods Appeal to the Lord 193

PURPORT

We can simply understand that behind the activities of material nature
is the Supreme Lord, by whose indications everything takes place, al-
though we cannot see Him. Even without seeing Him, we should offer
Him our respectful obeisances. We should know that He is complete.
Everything is done systematically by His energies (pardsya saktir
vividhaiva srityate), and therefore He has nothing to do (na tasya
kéryam karanam ca vidyate). As indicated here by the word upasanta-
Saktaye, His different energies act, but although He sets these energies in
action, He Himself has nothing to do. He is not attached to anything, for
He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, let us offer our re-
spectful obeisances unto Him.
