chemicles, who is mixing

He is offering... He is not claiming himself that "I am the first person for creation," although in this material world, Brahma is the first person, then Lord Siva, Rudra. And before Brahma, there is Visnu. Therefore it is said, aham evasam agre. Agre, "Before the creation, there was only Visnu, or Krsna. There was no Brahma, no Siva." These are Vedic statement. In the beginning Lord Visnu was there. And we know the method of creation. There was water, and from that, in that water, Maha-Visnu is lying there. From Maha-Visnu in His sleeping condition there are so many... Universes are created in the exhaling breathing process. And when He inhaling, the whole thing is annihilated. In this way this material creation is coming and going. Bhūtva bhūtva praliyate [Bg 8.19]. So we have to understand that the creation actually begins in the tamo-guna by agitated, impelled, by the Bhagavata, Bhagavan. Here it is stated, vikurvanad bhagavad-virya-coditat. Not that automatically. Just like if you take two chemicals, soda bicarb and citric acid, and mix together-make two solution, soda bicarb and citric acid, and mix together, there will be efful... What is called? Bubbles. Huh?    (More...)

Prabhupada: Effervescence, yes. There is effervescence. So that effervescent takes place not due to this chemical, but due to the chemist who mixes together. Then effervescence takes place, and then the action comes in contact. So modern scientists, they are being unable to see that who is mixing the chemical. Because Krsna says, naham prakasaḥ sarvasya yoga-maya-samavrtaḥ [Bg 7.25]. Therefore the scientist cannot see bhagavad-virya-coditat. They cannot see. They are seeing simply two mixture and mixed together. It is mixing by certain person, but who is mixing, that they cannot see. But that is bhagavad-virya-coditat. Mayadhyaksena prakrtiḥ sūyate sa-caracaram [Bg 9.10].    (More...)

So originally everything is coming from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore Krsna, simplifying the matter and informing us, "You fools, you try to understand," aham sarvasya prabhavaḥ [Bg 10.8], "I am the origin." And Vedanta-sūtra says that janmady asya yataḥ. Janma adi, from whom, that is Brahman. That is Krsna. Janma, this janma, or the creation of this material cosmic manifestation, phenomenal world, that who is the cause of janma? The cause is Krsna. Aham adir hi devanam [Bg 10.2]. Then He is the cause of Brahma, devanam, Siva. Padma-palasa-locana, padma, padma-nabha. Therefore Visnu's another name is Padmanabha. Padmanabha, He causes the lotus flower from His navel, and there is Brahma. And then Brahma creates whole universe. The original creator is bhagavad-virya-coditat, not this material. The material, there was no existence of the material. The materials are created by the supreme living being, nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam [Katha Upanisad 2.2.13].    (More...)

So we do not, I mean to say, become proud to have very, very scientific, accurate knowledge by speculation. We are not such people. We are taught by the parampara system that we are humble servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and what our master says, we accept it. That's all. We do not like to be foolishly proud to have full knowledge of this universe, of this creation. We have full knowledge, but we understand in this way. This is called parampara system. Just like in the Vedas... Take for example the Brahma-samhita. It is spoken by Lord Brahma. Brahma has got the full knowledge. Tene brahma hrda adi-kavaye. Because the full knowledge was given..., full knowledge of creation was given to Brahma. We do not accept this nonsense theory that there was no human being, and later on, they became gradually civilized, and for the last two hundred years only they have got the intelligence, scientific knowledge. We do not accept these nonsense theories.    (More...)
