“We have already understood that the whole manifestation is nothing but, I mean to say, demonstration of the different types of energies of the Supreme Lord.
That is confirmed in the Vedas: parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate. The Absolute Truth has varieties of energies, and they are so perfect and so perfectly working that it appears automatically. Svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca. You take a flower, nice flower, how it is nicely painted, how it is symmetrically colored. But it is sprouting from the bud automatically.
So we are seeing that if flower is coming out automatically… There is no such thing automatically. It is Krsna’s energy which is working there. It is Krsna’s energy. And if the energies are so perfect that we see that it is working automatically, that is because our energy is so limited. If I want to paint one nice flower, I have to arrange for so many things.
I have to arrange for the colors, I have to arrange for the brush. I must have the requisite knowledge how to paint it. I have to devote some time for learning how to paint, then actually paint. So many things required. But Krsna’s energies are so perfect that it appears, svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca.
Flowers automatically. That we have to study. And when you concentrate in that study with bhava, then you can understand Krsna, how He is working, how He is the original source of everything. That requires little brain.
Therefore unless one has got very fine brain, he cannot understand Krsna. Gross brain cannot understand. In order to make our brain and senses very purified and fine, we have to take to devotional service. Sarvopadhi-vinirmuktam tat-paratvena nirmalam [Cc. Madhya 19.170].”
