27-1: Man’s eternal relation with Godhead
(1) Man's eternal relation with Godhead
(1) Constitution of all living entity. (2.11-30)
(2) Parts & parcels of Godhead (15.4)
(4) Qualitatively one and the same (14.2).
(5) He begets all living being in the womb of Mother Nature (14.3-4)
(6) Nature & the living entities all are subordinate to Godhead (9.10)
(7) Godhead in His impersonal feature is all-pervading including the material nature and the living entities. (9.3-4)
(8) Nature means potency. Everything that exists is emanation of Godhead. (10.8-11)
(9) Godhead is omnipotent and therefore He is the master of all potencies namely the material, spiritual & marginal potencies. (8.22)
(10) Earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intellect and ego all products of material potency. (7.4)
(11) Living entities are products of spiritual potency. (7.5)
(12) Above these two potencies is situated the Almighty Godhead (7.6-7)
(14) The material nature is non-permanent. (8.19)
(15) The spiritual nature is permanent (8.20)
(16) The living entity is born of spiritual nature but it has the tendency to enjoy material nature. (13.21)
(17) The living entity & Godhead being qualitatively one both are called Purusha, the enjoyer and the nature is enjoyed by them therefore nature is called Prakriti. (13.17-20)
(18) Godhead is real enjoyer, but the living entity is the conditional enjoyer under the modes of nature. (13.29)
(19) The real position of living entity is therefore that of an enjoyed by Godhead or servitor of Godhead. (9.27)
(20) Forgetfulness of this real nature of living entity is the cause of his multifarious trouble (7.13-16)
(21) Godhead comes Himself or sends His confidential servants to reclaim this forgetful living entities. (4.7-8)
(22) No one can know Godhead unless He explains Himself or He is explained by His confidential servants. (4.1-3)
(24) Man's misidentifying himself with material nature is a malady of which fearfulness is born of. (4.10-11)
(25) His attempt to get rid of that fearfulness of survival by work, knowledge, or mystic power is always baffled. (4.16-18)
(26) Living entities seeks happiness by serving another living entity driven by a false desire of enjoyment. (7.20-23)
(28) Those who are only addicted to sinful or unlawful acts such foolish men of demoniac principles only do not want to serve Godhead. (7.15)
(29) Those who are law-abiding faithful men, they only revive their God consciousness when they are in difficulty, in need of money, or those who are inquisitive and aspiring after gathering knowledge. (7.16)
(30) God consciousness which is transcendental is never revived by dint of works, knowledge or mystic power but only by devotional service. (8.22)
(31) No one is debarred to approach Godhead; because simply by the will of approaching Him, one becomes at once purified. (10.30-32)
(32) The four castes are scattered all over the universe according to acquired qualities of the modes of nature (4.13)
(33) The Brahmins, the Kshatriyas, the Vaishyas, the Sudras (18.41-44)
(34) Any such man can attain to transcendental loving service of Godhead by his own occupation. (18.46-50)
(35) Under such transcendental mode only the ordinary workers, salvationists or the mystics also can attain to Godhead. (Bengali handwriting)
(36) The result of work is to satisfy material needs, the result of knowledge is to attain salvation and the result of mysticism to see all-pervading Godhead in His localized aspect. All these can be attained indirectly by transcendental loving service only. (18.56-66)
(37) In all scriptures therefore the only one aim is how to attain Godhead who is Sree Krishna the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (4.11)
(37a) Godhead is both Impersonal and Personal. (13.13-17)
(39) Presence of Godhead is perceived impersonally in the material world but He is manifested in Person in the spiritual world. (7.24-28)
(42) In the spiritual world the Absolute Personality of Godhead extends Himself as many personalities. (10.42)
(44) The Archa Murti is the transcendental and identical representation of the Absolute Personality of Godhead for the benefit of those conditioned souls who want approaching Godhead. (9.24-26)
(45) Matter is not therefore the ultimate cause of the universe. The ultimate creator is the powerful while the material world is the power only. (9.10-12)
