<div class="quote_translation">
O Brahmā, please know that the universal elements enter into the cosmos and at the same time do not enter into the cosmos; similarly, I Myself also exist within everything created, and at the same time I am outside of everything.
</div>
<div class="text">
The great elements of material creation, namely earth, water, fire, air and ether, all enter into the body of all manifested entities—the seas, mountains, aquatics, plants, reptiles, birds, beasts, human beings, demigods and everyone materially manifested—and at the same time such elements are differently situated. In the developed stage of consciousness, the human being can study both physiological and physical science, but the basic principles of such sciences are nothing but the material elements and nothing more. The body of the human being and the body of the mountain, as also the bodies of the demigods, including Brahmā, are all of the same ingredients—earth, water, etc.—and at the same time the elements are beyond the body. The elements were created first, and therefore they entered into the bodily construction later, but in both circumstances they entered the cosmos and also did not enter. Similarly, the Supreme Lord, by His different energies, namely the internal and external, is within everything in the manifested cosmos, and at the same time He is outside of everything, situated in the kingdom of God (Vaikuṇṭhaloka) as described before. This is very nicely stated in the Brahma-saṁhitā (BS 5.38) as follows:

<div class="quote_verse">
:ānanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhāvitābhis</dd><dd>tābhir ya eva nija-rūpatayā kalābhiḥ</dd><dd>goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūto</dd><dd>govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
</div>

"I worship the Personality of Godhead, Govinda, who, by expansion of His internal potency of transcendental existence, knowledge and bliss, enjoys in His own and expanded forms. Simultaneously He enters into every atom of the creation."

This expansion of His plenary parts is also more definitely explained in the same Brahma-saṁhitā (BS 5.38) as follows:

<div class="quote_verse">
:eko 'py asau racayituṁ jagad-aṇḍa-koṭiṁ</dd><dd>yac-chaktir asti jagad-aṇḍa-cayā yad-antaḥ</dd><dd>aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-sthaṁ</dd><dd>govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
</div>

"I worship the Personality of Godhead, Govinda, who, by one of His plenary portions, enters into the existence of every universe and every particle of the atoms and thus unlimitedly manifests His infinite energy all over the material creation."
