SB 3.33.3

The…, the statement as made in this verse by Devahūti is confirmed in the Upanisads, that the Absolute Truth has many diverse energies and He has nothing to act personally. There is nobody greater than Him nor on the equal level of Him, and everything is done so nicely by His energy as if by nature everything is complete. Therefore, it is said here that the different modes of material nature is entrusted to different manifestation like Brahma, Visnu and Siva. Each one of them is particularly invested with different kinds of power. "But You are completely aloof from such activities. And although You are not personally active in anything, Your determination is absolute. There is no question of fulfilling Your determination with the help of anyone else besides Yourself because You are, at the end, the Supreme Soul and the Supreme Controller. Therefore, Your determination cannot be checked by anyone else, but You can check others' determination." As it is said, "Man proposes, God disposes." But when the Supreme Personality of Godhead proposes, there is nobody else disposal. He is absolute. We are dependent for fulfilling our desires, therefore we cannot say that God's desires also dependent. That is His inconceivable power. Things which may be inconceivable by ordinary living entities is possible to be easily done by Him. In spite of His becoming unlimited, He is subjected to be known from the authoritative scriptures like Vedic literatures. As it is said, sabda-mūlatvat (s-a-b-t-a m-u-l-a-t-w-a-t), sabda-mūlatvat means He can be known through the sabda-brahman, or Vedic literature.

Then why the creation is made? Because He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead for all living entities. The living entities who want to enjoy or lord it over the material nature, for them this material manifestation is created; and as Supreme Personality of Godhead, He arranges for fulfilling their different kinds of desires. It is confirmed also in the Vedas that eko bahūnam yo vidadhati kaman (eko, e-k-h b-h-u-n-a-m v-i-d-h-a-d-a-t-i k-a-m-a-n), eko bahūnam yo vidadhati kaman. That Supreme One supplies the necessities of different living entities. There is no limit of the demands of different kinds of living entities, and the Supreme One, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, alone maintains them and supplies them by His inconceivable energy.
