The material world moves only because spiritual living force animates it; service to Krishna is humanity's natural and healthy condition.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 7.5 — February 20, 1974, Bombay 740220BG-BOMBAY [24:37 Minutes] Bg-07.05_740220BG-BOMBAY [loud Indian music in background throughout] Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] apareyam itas tv anyāṁ prakṛtiṁ viddhi me parām jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat [Bg. 7.5] [leads chanting of synonyms] [break] [03:04] Translation: "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." Prabhupāda: apareyam itas tv anyāṁ prakṛtiṁ viddhi me parām jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat [Bg. 7.5] So last night we discussed about the material energy and came to the conclusion that life is not made out of matter.
Matter is product of living force or living entity. [music grows louder] Hmm. Today it will be little disturbing. Anyway, we shall explain.
[aside:] No. That's all right. Let them go with their festival. No need. Aparā and parā.
Aparā means inferior, or material, and parā means superior, or spiritual. The spiritual force behind is moving the material world. Yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat. Jagat means gacchati iti jagat, which is moving or going forward.
Everything is moving. All these planets are moving. Your earthly planet is also moving—within twenty-four hours covering 25,000 miles, day and night. The whole material planet, earthly planets, you have 25,000 miles, and this is rotating.
Similarly, every planet is rotating. The sun is also rotating. Yasyājñayā bhramati sambhṛta-kāla-cakraḥ [Bs. 5.52]. The sun is also having a duration of life, and it will rotate, then it will be finished.
Everything in the material world, it has got a date of birth, it lives for some time, it grows or changes the body and produces some by-products, then dwindles and then vanishes. This is called ṣaḍ-vikāra, six kind of changes of anything material. That is called jagat. Gacchati.
