Pure devotion without desire brings the peace that karma, knowledge, and yoga forever cannot grant.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 6.154 — November 24, 1975, Bombay 751124CC-BOMBAY [35:29 Minutes] CcMadhya-06.154_751124CC-BOMBAY Prabhupāda: viṣṇu-śaktiḥ parā proktā kṣetrajñākhyā tathā parā avidyā-karma-samjñā anya tṛtīyā śaktir iṣyate [Cc. Madhya 6.154] So we were discussing other night about the three principal energies of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There are multi-energies. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca [Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport]. From śruti we understand that the Supreme Lord is full of potencies. Even we are. We are a small particle of the Supreme Lord; still, we are full of potencies.
Just like you shave today, and tomorrow morning, by your own potency, the hairs again grown. We see actually things are happening. How it is happening, that we do not know, even in our body. But it is a fact it is happening.
Things are happening. That means due to my potency. As soon as I leave this body there will be no more hair growth. The potency is gone.
So as we are a small particle, mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ... [Bg. 15.7]. Jīva, the living entity, is a very small particle, one ten-thousandth part of the top point of hair. Keśāgra-śata-bhāgasya śatadhā kalpitasya ca.
So such a small particle, atomic particle of the Supreme Lord, has got so much potencies. We see different varieties of life, different intelligence all over the world. What is that? Potency.
So if we have got so much potencies, just imagine what Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Person, has got, potency. So He has got potency. He is not niḥ śakti. He has got śakti. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate svābhāvikī jñāna...
Everything is happening on account of His potency. Just like in your body so many things are happening on account of potency, similarly, the gigantic universal form of the Lord—His potencies are working. Everything is happening. The tree is coming out, the fruit is coming out, the flower is coming out, the color is painted—everything.
