I want you to know this: never, in any place, under any circumstance, can we be separated, for I am everywhere present.

If I teach you today this very ancient science, the art of knowing Me, it is because you are My friend and My devotee, and you can thus penetrate the sublime mystery. And when you thus know the truth, you will understand that all beings are an integral part of Me, that they live in Me, and belong to Me.

I am the seed, that is, the fundamental principle of this world of moving and immobile entities. I am the substance of matter, the material cause and the efficient spiritual cause.

Within Me lies unlimited power, which is why I am known as infinite, or omnipresent. The cosmic manifestation appeared within Me from My material energy, and in this universal manifestation appeared the first being, Brahma, who had no material mother.

He is absolute existence, absolute consciousness, and absolute bliss.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as He truly is.

My spiritual and absolute body [All knowledge, bliss, and eternity] resembles the human form in every way, but it is not a material body; it is inconceivable (which is why He is never subject to hunger, thirst, or fatigue). I am not compelled by nature to accept a particular type of body; I choose the form in which I appear of my own free will. My heart is also spiritual, and I am always full of kindness towards my devotees. Thus, the path of devotional service intended for holy beings can be discovered in my heart, whereas I have rejected irreligion and non-devotional activities; they have no attraction for Me. Because of all these divine attributes, prayers are generally addressed to me under the name of Rishabhadeva, the Supreme Lord, the best of all living beings.

Impersonalists (those who believe that God is only a formless Supreme Spiritual Being, like most people on earth) believe me to be formless, and claim that I have borrowed my present form, the one I manifest today, solely to serve some purpose. But these speculators are in fact devoid of true intelligence. However much they may be erudite in the Vedic texts (the Vedas, the original holy scriptures), they are ignorant of my inconceivable energies and the eternal forms of my person. The reason is that I reserve the right not to reveal myself to unbelievers, thanks to my internal power, which veils me from their eyes. Therefore, fools and senseless people do not know my eternal, unborn, and imperishable form. They denigrate me when, in my human form, I descend into this world. They know nothing of my spiritual and absolute nature, nor of my supremacy.

I remain unborn, and my body, spiritual and absolute, never deteriorates. I am the Lord of all beings, and yet, in my original form, I descend into this universe at regular intervals.

Fools denigrate me when, in human form, I descend into this world. They know nothing of my spiritual and absolute nature, nor of my total supremacy.

Materialists cannot conceive of my body.
