Krishna is the source of all causes; creation flows from His energies, not His transformation.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 7.6 — March 25, 1972, Bombay 720325BG-BOMBAY [36:14 Minutes] Bg-07.06_720325BG-BOMBAY Prabhupāda: …bhūtāni sarvāṇīty upadhāraya ahaṁ kṛtsnasya jagataḥ prabhavaḥ pralayas tathā [Bg. 7.6] So, as we have explained last morning, all these different forms, both living and not living, jaḍa cetana, animate and inanimate—everything—they are products of the two energies of Kṛṣṇa: aparā and parā, inferior and superior. The inanimate is inferior energy—product of the inferior energy—and animate is the product of superior energy. But both of them are energies, and they are combination. They are combination in this material world.
In the spiritual world there is no display of inferior energy; there is only that superior energy, cetana, cidya-vat[?]. The spiritual world is therefore called living world. There is no manifestation of this acetana, or inanimate. There are also varieties, as we have got here. There is water, there are trees, there is land.
Not nirviśeṣa, not impersonal—everything is there—but they are all made of the superior energy. It is described that Yamuna River is flowing with her waves, but when Kṛṣṇa comes on the bank of the Yamuna, the waves stop to hear Kṛṣṇa’s flute. These are the description. When Kṛṣṇa passes through the roads of Vṛndāvana, the fruits and flowers, they offer their obeisances, and Kṛṣṇa understands, and He takes.
This is the position of the spiritual world. From this material world we cannot conjecture or imagine what is spiritual world, but we can simply understand anubhāva, by perceiving, by realizing. There are two energies—that we can understand very easily. Just like the difference between a living man and a dead man, that you can realize; anyone can realize. The dead man means that spiritual energy is no longer there.
The scientist, the so-called scientist, they say there is no such thing as spiritual energy or soul. The bodily function have stopped; therefore a man is dead. So if it is only material, then why it is not re-enervated? It could be reinstated.
Just like a material car stops to run: you go to a gas station, get some gas, again the car runs. Similarly, if this body is simply lump of matter, then when it stops to move, then why not give something material so that it can again rise up and move? There are so many arguments in this connection. If the materialist scientist argue that the blood has become white, therefore the movement is stopped, so the answer should be the blood can be colored by so many scientific methods. And if redness of the blood, natural redness of the blood, is the source of life, then there are many jewels that are naturally red.
Why they are not living? So these arguments cannot be applied. The real thing is that the soul, individual soul, because the individual soul has passed away, therefore the body is dead. You cannot say that the life-giving substance or ingredients are lacking. No.
