Krishna's presence pervades all existence, perceived only through love's anointed eye of sincere devotion.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Devotee: Śrīla Prabhupāda's morning lecture on the 8th, 1971, March. Came a bit later in, the day. Prabhupāda: ...Becomes present no. The stone is also another kind of energy, material energy. Eh?
Just like you do not know that this nail is very hard, very hard. You cut your nail you don't feel but just a half an inch below if you cut your skin, you feel. That does not mean this nail is not production of my body. Is it not?
Eh? Even there is no sensation in the nail. That does not mean that it is not production of my body. Similarly even if you see a stone without any life that does not mean it is without Kṛṣṇa.
It is another Kṛṣṇa energy. That is called external energy. Just like we can see and do not see. The nail you do not feel sensation, just below the nail you feel sensation. Eh?
So the skin is also produced by my energy and the nail is also produced by my energy but in one place I do not perceive in another place I perceive. Material, what is this material world? Material world where Kṛṣṇa is not perceived. It appears Kṛṣṇa is absent, it is something else. That is nail when you forget Kṛṣṇa.
The place is such nail that here forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa is stronger, not sensation. Otherwise Kṛṣṇa... It is Kṛṣṇa's energy. Kṛṣṇa, this forgetful is also Kṛṣṇa's energy.
It is stated in the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: aham sarvasya.., sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ[ca] [Bg 15.15] [I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.] Jñānam—sensation, then perception. Apohanaṁ no [indistinct].
