Pure Love for Krishna 261
intendent, Durga, is just like a shadow indication of the Supreme Lord. The
sun works just like the eye of the Supreme Lord. Brahma works just as reflected
light of the Supreme Lord. In this way, all these demigods, and the external
energy herself, Durgadevi, and different departmental directors are servants
of the Supreme Lord in the material world.

In the Spiritual World there is another energy, the superior spiritual
energy, or internal energy, which acts under the direction of Yogamaya.
Yogamaya means the internal potency of the Supreme Lord. She also works
under direction, but in the Spiritual World. When the living entity puts him-
self under the direction of this Yogamaya instead of Mahamaya, the result
is that he becomes gradually, causelessly, a devotee of Krishna. On the other
hand, those who are after material opulence and the advancement of material
happiness put themselves under the care of the material energy, Mahamaya,
or under the care of material demigods such as Lord Shiva and others. In the
Srimad Bhagwatam it is found that when the Gopis of Vrindaban desired to
have Krishna as their husband, they prayed for the gratification of their desire
before the spiritual energy, Yogamaya. And in the Shapta Shati it is found that
King Shurath and another merchant of the name Samadi, wanted opulence
of material existence according to their material mode of Nature—and they
worshipped Mahamaya. Therefore, one should not mistakenly equalize
Yogamaya and Mahamaya.

There is no difference between the Holy Name of the Supreme Lord and
the Supreme Lord Himself. Because the Lord is on the Absolute platform,
there is no difference between His Name and Himself. There are different
Names of the Supreme Lord, such as Paramatma, the Supersoul, Brahman
the Supreme Absolute, Shristikarta the Creator, Narayan the Transcendental
Lord, Rukminiraman the husband of Rukmini, Gopinath the Enjoyer of the
Gopis, and Krishna. The Lord has different Names, and they have different
purposes. When one understands the Supreme Lord as the Creator, He is
different from the aspect of the Lord as Narayan. Some of the Names of the
Lord as the Creator are the conception of the materialistic men. One cannot
fully realize the essence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead by under-
standing the name of the Creator, because this material creation is the function
of the external energy of the Supreme Lord. Such a conception of God includes
only the external feature of the Supreme Lord.

Similarly, when we call the Supreme Lord Brahman, we cannot have any
understanding of the six full opulences of the Supreme Lord. In the Brahman
realization of the Supreme Lord there is no realization of His six opulences
