well as beyond thank you nishikara naya, buddhakara naya, sarvaga mam naya, maharna vaya, namo apavargaya paraya naya Vijendra continues his prayers and now focuses on how the Lord is the cause of everything till now he has been saying how the Lord is the cause of various aspects he’s the soul he’s the one who descends he’s the super soul in the heart he’s the cause of material nature now he’s generalizing that statement and he’s taking how stating how the Lord is the cause of everything namo namaste akhila karanaya he’s the cause of everything and the supreme cause akhila is everything or supreme and then nishikara naya, buddhakara naya at the same time he is not the cause of anything actually the Lord is transcendental and this material energy is full of matter so the Lord is in one sense the cause and at the same time he is not the cause just like the rain is the cause of vegetation that grows in the cross but at the same time the rain is not the cause because the nature of vegetation that grows depends on the kind of seeds that have been sown the Lord has a connection with material nature and at the same time he doesn’t have a connection with material nature his connection is in the of the nature of activating without contacting the Lord sees and the material nature starts acting similarly the Lord oversees mayadhyakshinaprakruti but he also says asinavadasinam so the Lord doesn’t directly act when material nature acts and that’s why he is not entangled in it ever he’s of course transcendental always so nishikara naya, buddhakara naya he is himself not directly responsible for the for either contacting or for the acts of material nature and this is wonderful Krishna also says this in 9.5 in Bhagavad Gita first he said matthani sarvabhutani all beings are situated in me and in next verse he said 9.5 that matthani bhutani all beings are not situated in me so the Lord’s relationship with material nature is actually inconceivable and that is indicated by adbhutakara naya, it’s extraordinary sarvagamamnaya maharanavaya so now after talking about things now he talks about knowledge the Lord is the source of everything and now he’s saying that actually the Lord is source of knowledge also sarvagamamnaya so Agam is the literature, Vedic literature especially the Puranic tradition and he says that you are the source of the knowledge Prabhupada writes the parampara the knowledge comes from Krishna and we shouldn’t think that knowledge comes only at the start in parampara every acharya and parampara also gets knowledge from Krishna from within the heart which reinforces and clarifies what has been heard by that acharya from the previous acharyas maharanavaya and it means the ocean which all branches of knowledge and that means when all branches of knowledge are perfected then they reach Krishna that doesn’t mean that automatically all knowledge leads to Krishna one has to be able to take that knowledge to its culmination as Krishna says vedahischa sarvair ahameva vedyo that by all the Vedas I am to be known so this indicates that is the purpose but just by studying the Vedas one may not come to know Krishna as Krishna says tri gunya vishaya vedam is tri gunya bhavaya so even modern science it is meant to glorify God and if it is understood properly it can add to the glories of God but automatically it’s not directly glorification of God so the trace between various branches of the connection between various branches of knowledge and Krishna has to be explored and discovered by serious spiritual seekers who are also intellectuals or scientists or specialists in that particular field of knowledge namo apavaryaya parayanaya that you are the shelter of liberation you give liberation and parayanaya you are the parayan parayan means devoted so those who are transcendentalists they are devoted to you so by thus contemplating how everything that we see around us is ultimately coming from Krishna that he is the ultimate cause we can redirect our attraction to all those things to Krishna and when we chant often we think that we are disconnecting ourselves from the rest of the world so that we can chant but rather when our thoughts go to the rest of the world we can contemplate how we are reconnecting everything or re-excavating rediscovering the connection of everything with Krishna through purification and chanting thus enables us to come actually to tune with all of creation by coming to tune with the source the original cause of all of creation Thank you Shri Harnam Prabhu Ki Jai
