“We do not know for how many millions of years the sunshine
and temperature is coming out of the sun planet,
but still the sun is the same. There is no loss of temperature.”
Prabhupada, New York, December 3, 1966: […] Now, these universes and the brahmandas, or the Vaikunthas, they are manifestation of the energy of the Supreme Lord. God is all-pervading. “God is all-pervading” does not mean God has lost His identification.
This is the mistake of the impersonalists. “Because God is everywhere, God is all-pervading; therefore there should not be any particular existence of God.” This is impersonalism.
But this is material thought. They do not study Vedic literature properly. In the Vedic literature it is said, purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate. Just like I have several times explained before you that in the spiritual absolute identity, one minus one equal to one and one plus one equal to one.
So although innumerable energies are coming out of the supreme body of the Supreme Lord, still He is full. There is no loss of energy. Just like we can have some material example: the sun.
We do not know for how many millions of years the sunshine and temperature is coming out of the sun planet, but still the sun is the same. There is no loss of temperature. So if in a material object this is possible, that in spite of distributing heat and light from the sun disk for millions and millions of years, the sun disk is still of the same temperature, there is no loss of temperature—this is a material thing—so why in the spiritual body of the Supreme there will be any loss?
This is a material idea, that “Because God has become all-pervading, therefore He has lost Himself.” Why He should lose His identity? This is confirmed in the Vedic literature: purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate.
If you take from the… He is so full that if you take the whole thing from Him, still, He is whole. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate. Full Lecture
