The Lord is the original source of all emanations, and everything that is created, sustained, and destroyed exists only through His energy. He who knows this truth, the sensible person, is truly a wise scholar engaged in absolute loving service to the Lord; he will rise to the stage of pure devotion.

Although the Lord's energy offers various illusory reflections to the vision of beings endowed with deficient knowledge, the thoughtful person realizes that through the interplay of His various energies, the Lord can act even if He is very far away, beyond our vision, just as fire can spread heat and light from a distance.

Krishna, God, the Divine Lord, through His plenary emanations, permeates every galaxy and every atom, and thus spreads His infinite energy throughout all material creation.

Because impersonalists (those who claim that God is a formless Divine Being) can imagine or even perceive this omnipresence of the Supreme Being, they conclude that His existence in a personal form is impossible.

Herein lies the mystery of transcendental knowledge of the Absolute Divine Person. This secret is none other than absolute love for Godhead, and the being imbued with such love for the Divine can ultimately see Krishna, the Supreme Personality, in every atom and in every animate and inanimate object. Moreover, he can simultaneously see the Supreme Lord in His own abode, Goloka, where He shares the joy of His infinite pastimes with His eternal companions, who are also manifestations of His absolute nature.

In this vision lies the true mystery of spiritual knowledge, which the Lord established at the very beginning. This mystery is the most secret part of the knowledge of the Supreme, and the followers of speculative thought will never succeed in penetrating it by the force of their intellectual acrobatics. This secret will, however, be revealed to the one who follows the path recommended by Lord Brahma in his book “Brahmat-samhita (5.38)”.

Everything is revealed to those who awaken to true spiritual and absolute knowledge.

Indeed, when this knowledge, which dispels ignorance of the facts relating to God and the Absolute Truth, illuminates a being, everything is revealed to them.

True knowledge is that which allows one to perceive the spiritual individuality of all living beings, celestial beings, human beings, animals, and plants, along with that of God, the Supreme Being, and to understand the bond that unites them with the Lord.

Those who forget Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, cannot escape delusion, but those conscious of Him never experience it.

Knowledge is always a blessing, but it is through self-surrender to Krishna that perfect knowledge is acquired. One who, after many lives, acquires absolute knowledge and surrenders to Krishna, then sees everything revealed to him.

There are many paths to misguidance: believing oneself to be God, for example, is to fall into the trap of the grossest illusion. But how can one delude oneself when one is God?
