In the Brahma-saṁhitā it is said, sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā (Bs. 5.44): "There is an energy which can create, maintain and destroy the whole cosmic manifestation." Sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā, one. There is one energy. Chāyeva yasya vibharti bhuvanāni durgā: "That energy is working just like shadow under the direction of Kṛṣṇa." That is big energy, but that energy . . . just like atomic energy, big energy, but it is done by a scientist, not that the ingredients automatically mix together and become an atomic . . . no. That is not possible. Big, big brain, scientist, they are dealing. Similarly, this big energy—creation, maintenance and destruction of nature—that nature is called Durgā. Durgā. Duḥ. Duḥ means difficult, and gā means going, or to understand. To understand the laws of material nature is very difficult. That is called Durgā.

The scientists have got good brain, but who manufactured the brain? You cannot do it. You have not manufactured your brain. If you say: "By nature," then nature is more powerful than you. But nature is dead. It cannot create life. That is in the hand of Kṛṣṇa. Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ (BG 15.7). As soon as the question of jīva, living entity, there, this, mine, you can say it is nature. And other things? Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarva . . . (BG 3.27). Prakṛti, nature, is doing. Everything explained.

Durgā, durgā means this is like a fort. We are kept within this, and the superintendent is Durgā. Therefore Durgā's picture is ten hands, ten directions, with different kinds of weapon protecting. Sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-sādhana-śaktir ekā chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni vibharti durgā, icchānu . . . now the conclusion, icchānurūpam api yasya ca ceṣṭate sā: "She is working not independently; according to the desire of somebody else." Who is that somebody? Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi: "That is Govinda. I am worshiping Him." And this is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā.
