Material Manifestations explained...

SB 2.6.39 (R Prji):

* "...The creation, however, takes place in Him, and the material substance and manifestations are all Himself. .."
* Krishna is telling avyakta murti = unmanifested form. Very contradictory words, but only Krishna can say this. It is talking about form of the Lord and in His all-pervading energy
* We cannot understand this so easily
* That is why we need Guru, who can spell this out properly to us
* Eg: Mahabharata war, when Krishna went to talk peace with Duryodhana
 - Krishna even showed to him the Universal form, still he did not understand
* SP later talks on the Universal form again
* To ease all this, Sri CM gave us the inconceivable oneness and difference philososphy
* Bhakti is the only thing which can get us close to Krishna. Nothing else like gyana, karma can bring us close to Bhakti
* What science can explain the power of the yogi's, nature etc
* Another example: a speaker speaking in the microphone, the sound energy is spreading through the atmosphere
 = which implies energetic is present behind all energy
* Krishna continues to say: O son of Kuntī, when the kalpa, or the duration of the life of Brahmā, is ended, then all the created manifestations enter into My prakṛti, or energy, and again, when I desire, the same creation takes place by My personal energy
