Is it true that God is the seed and the ingredients that compose the material universe?

God said, “I am all that is.” What does He mean by this?

The sublime abundance of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

The Sovereign Lord, Krishna, reveals to us His sublime abundance, the knowledge of the Absolute, and clarifies who He is and how He acts.

I never show Myself to fools or the senseless; by My inner power [yoga-maya], I am veiled from them. This misguided world therefore does not know Me, the Unborn, the Imperishable.

Because I am God, the Supreme Person, I know all of the past, present, and future. I also know all beings; but no one knows Me.

Whoever knows Me as the Supreme Lord, the very Principle of material manifestation, the Source of celestial beings, and the Master of all sacrifice, can, with a fixed mind, even at the moment of death, grasp Me and know Me still.

I am all that is, the cause of all causes; the person with true knowledge surrenders to Me. Such a great soul is rare. They will not have to be reborn in the material universe; leaving their body, they enter My eternal kingdom.

I am the seed, that is to say, 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.

I exist in All, and I am the essence of the atomic constituents of material elements.

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence, and false ego (the force that binds the incarnate being to material existence, the force that compels the incarnate being to identify with its body and to want to dominate matter)—these eight elements, distinct from Myself, constitute My lower energy.

Besides this lower energy, another energy is Mine, a higher, spiritual energy; living beings (incarnate souls), who struggle with material nature and by which the universe subsists, constitute it.

Of all things in this world, material as well as spiritual, know that I am the Origin and the End.

No truth is superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, like pearls on a thread. Of water I am the flavor, of the sun and moon the light, of Vedic mantras the syllable Om. I am the sound in the ether, and in humankind, the capacity.
