Madhya 6.154] ]] This is a verse from *Viṣṇu Purāṇa.* It is stated there that *viṣṇu-śaktiḥ parā,* "The energy of the Supreme Lord is spiritual." Energy and the energetic, they are nondifferent. Just like the sunshine is the energy of the sun globe, but the quality of sunshine and the sun globe is the same. It is not different. The sunshine is bright, illuminating, hot. Similarly, we can understand the sun globe, the temperature may be very high, but the quality is the same. So, *viṣṇu-śaktiḥ parā proktā* [[cc/madhya/6/154|[Cc. Madhya 6.154] ]]. God has got one energy. That energy is spiritual energy. And *kṣetrajñākhyā tathā parā:* and the same energy is manifested in another form, which is called *kṣetrajña,* or marginal energy, or the energy in which we living creatures are acting. *Ksetrajñākhya tathā parā.* And *avidyā-karma-saṁjña anyā,* and *tṛtīyā śaktir iṣyate.* And besides these energies, there is another energy, which is *avidyā,* ignorance. --- **[[spoken/710827sb.lon|SB 1.2.6 — August 27, 1971, London]]** --- **[[spoken/720827sb.la|SB 1.2.24 — August 27, 1972, Los Angeles]]** **[*Govindam* prayers playing; Prabhup**ā**da singing along] Prabhupāda:** [**sings *Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava*]* [*prema-dhvani*] **Thank you very much. **Pradyumna:** *Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
