Energy flows from God eternally; we cannot know Him through speculation, only through authority.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.15.42 "In God We Trust." — December 20, 1973, Los Angeles 731220SB-LOS ANGELES [37:16 Minutes] SB-01.15.42_731220SB-LOS ANGELES Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] tritve hutvā ca pañcatvaṁ tac caikatve 'juhon muniḥ sarvam ātmany ajuhavīd brahmaṇy ātmānam avyaye [SB 1.15.42] [break]
Prabhupāda: Yes. Word meaning. Pradyumna: tritve—into the three qualities; hutvā—having offered; ca—also; pañcatvam—five elements; tat—that; ca—also; ekatve—in one nescience; ajuhot—amalgamated; muniḥ—the thoughtful; sarvam—the sum total; ātmani—in the soul; ajuhavīt—fixed; brahmaṇi—unto the spirit; ātmānam—the soul; avyaye—unto the inexhaustible. [03:19] Translation: "Thus annihilating the gross body of five elements into the three qualitative modes of material nature, he merged them in one nescience and then absorbed that nescience in the self, Brahman, which is inexhaustible in all circumstances." Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Tritve hutvā ca pañcatvaṁ tac caikatve ajuhon muniḥ. Everything is coming from that one. The theory of conservation of energy, that is imperfection. All energy are conserved in that Supreme Personality of Godhead.
They have got little idea of this, wherefrom the energies are coming, but not perfectly. The modern scientist, they can simply think of "conservation of energy." But where is that conservation, that they do not know. That is the missing point. Here it is explained how from that original reservoir of all energy, things are coming. That is the lesson in Vedānta-sūtra, janmādy asya yataḥ [SB 1.1.1]: "Everything is coming from one source." Yato vā imāni bhūtāni jāyante [Taittirīya Upaniṣad 3.1].
These are Vedic mantras. That is Brahman. Brahman means inexhaustible, avyaya. There is no exhaustion.
Pūrṇam. As we learn, pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idam [Īśo Invocation], everything complete. Complete.... We have no idea of complete. We think complete also limited.
Complete satisfaction... Suppose you have got a bank balance, a million dollar. You think, "It is now complete. I am fully satisfied." But he hasn't got the complete idea.
