God is simultaneously complete and all-pervading through His energies, defying material logic yet fully explained.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 6.151–154 — February 14, 1971, Gorakhpur 710214CC-GORAKPHUR [50:29 Minutes] Cc-Madhya-06.151–154_710214CC-GORAKPHUR Mālatī: [introducing recording] This lecture was recorded in Gorakhpur, U.P., India, on the evening of February 14th, 1970 [sic]. Prabhupāda: Ataeva śruti kahe brahma-saviśeṣa: God, Brahma, the great. Brahma means the great. Bṛhatvād bṛhannatvāt. The Absolute Truth is the great and can expand also unlimitedly. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam [Bs. 5.33].
Rūpam: He has got His transcendental forms, ananta, unlimited. But they are all one. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam. Ādyam, the original; purāṇa, the oldest; puruṣam, person. Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam. Although He has got innumerable forms, they are advaita, they are one.
Advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam Ādyam, original; purāṇa, the oldest; and puruṣam, the person. Nava-yauvanam. The oldest, but nava-yauvana, just beginning of youthful life. That is the description in the Brahma-saṁhitā. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms that brahma saviśeṣa.
Saviśeṣa means person with varieties of energy. Not imperson. Ataeva śruti kahe. According to Vedic evidence from the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad, apāṇi pāda, he has proved that when the Upaniṣad says that "The Absolute Truth has no hands and legs," this means that He has no material hands and legs.
But He has His hands and legs. [shouting in background] [aside:] Who is shouting? Why they do not come? Why they are shouting there? All right. Then he says... Śrī Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura comments in this connection that, ādau brahma prākṛta hasta-pāda naya baliyā pare śīghra cale emana sakala-vastu grahaṇa kare In the beginning, the Veda says that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no..., not personality; Brahman.
He is person, of course. We say personality, but this personality is not material personality. Sighram cale evam sakala-vasta grahana kare: "He walks very quickly, and He can accept whatever is offered to Him." So these very statements in the Vedas confirm that He has hands and legs, but not hands and legs like us. Aprakṛta. That we cannot understand.
Aprakṛta. Prakṛta and aprakṛta. Prakṛta means things which are created, and aprakṛta means which are never created, sanātana. That we cannot understand.
