Direct worship of Krishna is intelligence; all other paths ultimately lead to Him anyway.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: jñāna-yajñena cāpy anye yajanto mām upāsate ekatvena pṛthaktvena bahudhā viśvato-mukham [Bg 9.15] [Others, who are engaged in the cultivation of knowledge, worship the Supreme Lord as the one without a second, diverse in many, and in the universal form.] Now, those who are directly worshiping the Supreme Lord, Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, they have been described as mahātmā. And there are others, worshipers; they cannot conceive of the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly on account of less..., on account of being less advanced. Therefore they have been described here anye, "others." So others, they worship the Absolute Truth in three different ways. The first-class others...
Amongst the others, there is first class, second class, third class, as amongst the direct worshipers there..., there are first class, second class and third class. In every, I mean to say, department, as you have got experience in the material world, there are things first class, second class and third class. Even in this whole material world is under first class, second class and third class. The first class is mode of goodness, the second class is mode of passion and the third class is mode of ignorance.
Simi..., in every department, more or less, there are three classes. So amongst the persons who worship the Absolute Truth not directly as the Personality of Godhead but as ahaìgrahopāsanam... Ahaìgrahopāsanam means taking himself as the Supreme. This we have already explained, that taking himself as the Supreme means, as the part and parcel of the Supreme, if we study myself, then I can understand also what is God. The only difference is: quantitatively, God is great and I am small.
Otherwise, so far quality is concerned, that is one. So this ahaìgrahopāsanam, that is number one. Then next upāsanā, next worship, is ekatvena pṛthaktvena [Bg 9.15]. Pṛthaktvena means pantheism. Just like there are persons who worship any demigod as God.
Their opinion is that there are different forms of God, so any form we accept as God and worship, we shall be benefited. We shall approach the highest perfection. That is another section. So this can be adjusted that God is everywhere.
That... There is no denying this fact, because by His energy, He is everywhere. Just like we are His energy. Living entities, they are superior energy of God. Apareyam itas tu viddhi me prakṛtiṃ parām [Bg 7.5]. [Besides this inferior nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is a superior energy of Mine, which are all living entities who are struggling with material nature and are sustaining the universe.] Parām means superior.
So we are also energy. So energy and the energetic, they're one. Just like the sun and the sunshine, they're not different. So wherever the sunshine is there, there is sun.
