Imported quote 15782 He said that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Source of all incarnations, and the Cause of all causes. There are innumerable Vaikuntha planets, and there are innumerable incarnations and expansions of the Supreme Lord, and there are innumerable universes also. Of all these existences the Supreme Lord Krishna is the only Source. His transcendental Body is composed of eternity and blissfulness and knowledge, and He is known as the Son of Maharaj Nanda, or as the Inhabitant of Goloka Vrindaban; He is full with six opulences-namely, all wealth, all strength, all fame, all beauty, all knowledge, and all renunciation.

So, there also there are things inferior and superior. Similarly, this material world is the energy of the Supreme Lord but it is inferior. So, the material nature with elements of eight kinds is known as the inferior energy apara. Apara means inferior: apareyam itas tv anyam prakrtim viddhi me param and the superior nature, what is that superior nature? Jiva-bhūtam maha-baho, these living beings, the living entities are also nature, an energy but they are not enjoyer or purusa. The purus purusa ha is the enjoyer and prakrti or nature is the enjoyed. So, the living being as the impersonalists say that the living entities themselves are the Paramatma or the Supersoul and they themselves are Supreme Lord but this is incorrect. There is the nature of the Supreme Lord and the Personality of the Supreme Lord Who is? the only eternal living being:
