Category:God Is The Source of Everything
Theme Analysis
The philosophical essence of this category establishes that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krsna, is the absolute source of everything. Srila Prabhupada explains that according to the Vedanta-sutra and Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Absolute Truth is defined precisely as the supreme fountainhead from which all existence emanates (janmady asya yatah). Because God is the source of everything, He cannot be an impersonal void devoid of form, personality, or sentiments; rather, all mundane sentiments are simply perverted reflections of His original, spiritual qualities. Materialism is defined simply as the forgetfulness of this supreme source. Conversely, true intelligence and the ultimate goal of all Vedic knowledge (Vedanta) is to understand that the Lord is the absolute origin of all energies, to reestablish our eternal relationship with Him, and to engage purely in His devotional service.
- The Absolute Definition: The Vedanta-sutra and Srimad-Bhagavatam define the Absolute Truth as the supreme fountainhead and the original source from whom everything emanates.
- The Origin of Qualities: Because the Supreme Lord is the source of everything, all emotions, activities, and sentiments found in the material world exist originally in Him in pure, transcendental perfection.
- The Definition of Materialism: Materialism is not just an attachment to physical objects; it is the fundamental forgetfulness that God is the source and proprietor of all existence.
- The End of Knowledge: The ultimate purpose of studying Vedic literature is to understand Krsna as the source of everything and to naturally engage in His loving devotional service.
