<div class="text">
This material energy is divided into two: pradhāna and upādāna. Pradhāna and upādāna. The whole, total material energy is called pradhāna, and the material elements are called ingredients, upādāna.

<div class="quote_verse">
:sei puruṣa māyā-pāne kare avadhāna
:prakṛti kṣobhita kari' kare vīryera ādhāna 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.272|CC Madhya 20.272]])
</div>

Now, in the Bhagavad-gītā you have read that mahad-yonir mahad-brahma tāsām . . . it is stated there that ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā ([[Vanisource:BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]]): "I implement the seeds of living entities into the matter." So in the matter the living . . . the seeds of living entities, as we are, they are impregnated.

As the father impregnates the mother, similarly, this material nature is just like mother, and therefore material nature is worshiped as mother, goddess, mother goddess, Durgā, Kālī. Yes. And this worship of the country, nationalism, that is also the same matter-worship. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke ([[Vanisource:SB 10.84.13|SB 10.84.13]]).

So, so long we are not enlightened, we are worshiper of this matter, energy. And when we are advanced in knowledge, then we are worshiper of the Supreme. So Kṛṣṇa consciousness means advanced stage of knowledge. It is not in the material platform. Therefore anyone who is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness appropriately and thoroughly, he is liberated from material consciousness.

<div class="quote_verse">
:svāṅga-viśeṣābhāsa-rūpe prakṛti-sparśana
:jīva-rūpa 'bīja' tāte kailā samarpaṇa 
:(Cc Madhya 20.273)
</div>

In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam there is this evidence:

<div class="quote_verse">
:daivāt kṣubhita-dharmiṇyāṁ
:svasyāṁ yonau paraḥ pumān
:ādhatta vīryaṁ sā 'sūta
:mahat-tattvaṁ hiraṇmayam 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.274|CC Madhya 20.274]])
</div>

So from this version of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that the living entities as seeds, they are coming from the spiritual world. They are not product of the matter. Therefore it is not possible to produce living entity with material chemicals and material elements. It is not possible. As some of the modern scientists they claim that "We shall now give life," or they advertise in that way, so from this verse we can understand that it is not possible. Because these living entities, they are just like seeds, and they are coming from the spiritual world, from the body of the Supreme. Those spiritual, I mean to say, living entities are desirous of enjoying sense gratification, they are allowed to this material world—others, they are in the spiritual world.

<div class="quote_verse">
:kāla-vṛttyā tu māyāyāṁ
:guṇamayyām adhokṣajaḥ
:puruṣenātma-bhūtena
:vīryam ādhatta vīryavān 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.275|CC Madhya 20.275]])
</div>

So there is another verse, that how the seeds are given within this material world.

<div class="quote_verse">
:tabe mahat-tattva haite trividha ahaṅkāra
:yāhā haite devatendriya-bhūtera pracāra 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.276|CC Madhya 20.276]])
</div>

Now, here is a short description of the creation. First, material energy; then the seeds of the living entities are impregnated into that material energy; and then mahat-tattva, from the material energy, this ego, false ego, comes out. First, first manifestation of this material world is this false ego, mahat-tattva. Trividha ahaṅkāra. Yāhā haite devatendriya-bhūtera pracāra: "And from that ego, all these human beings or demigods or other living entities, they are coming out."

<div class="quote_verse">
:sarva tattva mili' sṛjila brahmāṇḍera gaṇa
:ananta brahmāṇḍa, tāra nāhika gaṇana 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.277|CC Madhya 20.277]])
</div>

"In this way, the Lord created unlimited number of universes." This one universe which you have seen—that is one only, but there are innumerable universes that is created.

<div class="quote_verse">
:iṅho mahat-sraṣṭā puruṣa-'mahā-viṣṇu' nāma
:ananta brahmāṇḍa tāṅra loma-kūpe dhāma 
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 20.278|CC Madhya 20.278]])
</div>

"Now, the expansion of Kṛṣṇa who is doing all this material expansion, He is known as Mahā-Viṣṇu. Mahā-Viṣṇu."

<div class="quote_verse">
:gavākṣe uḍiyā yaiche reṇu āse yāya
:puruṣa-niśvāsa-saha brahmāṇḍa bāhirāya 
:(CC Madhya 20.279-80)
</div>

Now here is a nice example. You have seen the sunshine entering your room through a hole of your window, and you will find so many atomic demonstration. So these brahmāṇḍas, the so many universes, they are emanating from the breathing of Mahā-Viṣṇu in that way.

<div class="quote_verse">
:punarapi niśvāsa-saha yāya abhyantara
:ananta aiśvarya tāṅra, saba-māyā-pāra 
:(CC Madhya 20.279-80)
</div>

In this way all the universes, they enter into the body of Mahā-Viṣṇu after the creation is over, and again comes out. In this way it is coming and going, coming . . . bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate ([[Vanisource:BG 8.19 (1972)|BG 8.19]]).

In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said that they are coming and going within. This is the way of material nature. And here is another evidence from Brahma-saṁhitā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
:jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
:viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśeṣo
:govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi 
:(Bs 5.48)
</div>

Now, such a vast, gigantic Mahā-Viṣṇu, of whose breathing producing this universes and whose inhaling, annihilating all the universes—such vast Mahā-Viṣṇu is only part and part of the expansion of Kṛṣṇa, Govinda. So Brahmā says, govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi. So just we have to imagine how much potential is the Lord Kṛṣṇa.
