- sṛṣṭi-sthiti-pralaya-(sādhana)-śaktir ekā
- chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni bibharti durgā
- (Bs. 5.44)
This material energy is called Durgā, but she is so powerful . . . sṛṣṭi-sthiti . . . she can create wonderful things. She can maintain wonderful things. She can dissolve wonderful things, so powerful. But she is acting under the direction. Chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni bibharti durgā. Chāyeva. Just like shadow moves by the movement of the reality, similarly, this material nature is working under the direction of the Supreme.
Therefore, any way you . . . either way you go, if you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, simply come to this understanding that, "Kṛṣṇa is everything, and by serving Kṛṣṇa, all my objective, all my perfection is there"—this conviction makes you perfect. And this is real, this is reality. There is no imposition. It is reality. Simply one has to understand. The same thing is expressed here by Nārada: urukramasya. Who is urukrama? Wonderful actor. The wonderful actor is Kṛṣṇa, Urukrama.
So Nārada Muni says: "Although you have mentioned in other purāṇas or in itihāsa, Mahābhārata, about Kṛṣṇa, some of the activities of Kṛṣṇa . . ." Just like this same thing, as I told you. So many people are reading Bhagavad-gītā, but all nonsense. They do not understand what is Kṛṣṇa, because they are disturbed. They are not situated in Kṛṣṇa. Nārada Muni says that, "Be situated in Kṛṣṇa. You write something, simply Kṛṣṇa's activities." Akhila. "Then you'll be liberated, and those who will stick to this principle, they'll be liberated." Akhila-bandha-muktaye.
