Material and Spiritual worlds

S.B.2.10.6. (Achyuta Gauranga prabhu)

• This sloka confirms that actually 75% of the entire creation is spiritual and 25% is material

  75% of the living entities in the spiritual world are called nitya-muktas

  25% of the living entities in the material world are conditioned souls

  In America we see 4 seasons, in the fall everything is dissolved and in spring everything sprouts up. Material creation is a cycle like the seasons here everything in the material world is annihilated and recreated again.

  B.G chapter 9 explains this process really really well in several slokhas.

  B.G. 9.7 -- O son of Kuntī, at the end of the millennium all material manifestations enter into My nature, and at the beginning of another millennium, by My potency, I create them again.

  So at the end of the millennium means the death of Brahma, as we know Brahmaji lives for 100 years – (1 day = 4.3 billion earth years)

  B.G 9.8 -- The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end.

  Imagine that all this material creation is the inferior energy of the supreme lord, so if we think of superior energy of the Supreme Lord it is unimaginable.

  At the time creation the first Purusha incarnation Maha-Vishnu enters, he creates innumerable universes and into each universe he enters as a Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and this way each single universe is created. He still manifest himself as Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and that Vishnu enters into everything.

  In terms of living, the Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu impregnates himself, as a result of past deeds (Karmic reactions living entities’ take different positions), this way entire material creation is manifested.

  The activities of different species are began from the very movement of creation, it is not evolved or something like that… It just created.

  It is tough point for many people to understand, how can everything just created, if you look once again the spring season everything is manifested. It is the potency of the Lord.

  Our duty is not to keep in the three modes, we have to transcend them.

  One who engages in devotional service transcends the three modes of nature and comes to the level of Brahaman. So this is where ultimate thing is.
