Bhagavad-gītā 4.24 — April 13, 1974, Bombay 740413BG-BOMBAY [42:12 Minutes] Bg-04.24_740413BG-BOMBAY Pradyumna: Because of his full contribution to spiritual activities in which the consummation is absolute and that which is offered is of the same spiritual nature.
Prabhupāda: brahmārpaṇaṁ brahma havir brahmāgnau brahmaṇā hutam brahmaiva tena gantavyaṁ brahma-karma-samādhinā [Bg 4.24] This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma [Chānd. Up. 3.14.1]. Actually, there is nothing as material. Because the energy and the energetic, there is a verse in Viṣṇu Purāṇa. eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner jyotsnā vistāriṇī yathā tativa brahmaṇaḥśaktis sarvedam akhilaṁ jagat [Viṣṇu Purāṇa 1.22.52] What is this jagat?
Manifestation, the manifestation is, energy, energy of Kṛṣṇa. Energy of the supreme Brahma. The whole atmosphere is just like the sunshine. We can exactly understand what is the position of this material world.
What is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, what is the spiritual world. By nature study you can understand. As it is explained in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner. Just like fire it is situated in one place, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner, jyotsnā vistāriṇī yathā, but it is illuminating.
Everyone, we can understand the same thing, just like the sun glow is situated in one corner of the sky but the sunshine is illuminating, eka-sthāni sthitasyāgner. The agni, or the fire is situated in one place but the elimination is distributing. So, just like the sunshine is spread all over the universe, but it is that we can see every day that the sun globe is situated in one place. Not that the sun glow is distributed, spread all over the universe.
The sunshine, similarly there is fire the elimination is distributing, the heat also. Two energies of the fire, so because the energy of the fire is distributed all over the universe it does not mean the fire is finished. No. Fire is there, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate.
[Iso Invocation] That is Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa is expanding himself. Just like the heat and light but that does not mean Kṛṣṇa is finished. It is not material, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya, pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate. Kṛṣṇa is spread in so many ways by his energy, by his personal expansion.
