| | | So out of three transcendental propensities of the Supreme Lord, ''icchā-śakti, jñāna-śakti'' and ''kriyā-śakti'', the ''kriyā-śakti'', that is represented by . . . or the controller of the ''kriyā-śakti'' is Saṅkarṣaṇa, Balarāma. And with that potency, ''kriyā-śakti'' potency, the creation, both material creation and spiritual creation, are effected. |

| | | Now, so far this material creation is concerned, it is said here that, "By His material potency, He manifests this material world and unlimited universes within the material world." Ah, nobody should think that the material world has come out of nothing, out of void. No. This is confirmed in all Vedic literature and especially in the ''Brahma-saṁhitā'', and in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' also it is stated, ''mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram'' ([[Vanisource:BG 9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]). |

So material nature is not independent. It is a misunderstanding, a wrong conception, that matter is working out of its own accord. Matter has no power to work. It is a jaḍa-rūpā. Jaḍa-rūpā means it has no moving capacity or, what is called, initiative. Matter has no initiative. Therefore matter cannot manifest in such a way without the direction of the Supreme Lord. Māyā-dvāre sṛje teṅho brahmāṇḍera gaṇa. Actually, it is His direction, but material potency is help only. That's all. | | |
