Page 35 - THE FOURTH DIMENSION

there is forgetfulness of this prime relation with the Lord, and whenever things are accepted as real without
being related to the Lord, that conception is called a product of the illusory energy of the Lord. Because nothing
can exist without the Lord, it should be known that the illusory energy is also an energy of the Lord. The right
conclusion of dovetailing everything in relationship with the Lord is called yoga-māyā, or the energy of union,
and the wrong conception of detaching a thing from its relationship with the Lord is called the Lord's daivī māyā,
or mahā-māyā. Both the māyās also have connections with the Lord because nothing can exist without being
related to Him. As such, the wrong conception of detaching relationships from the Lord is not false but illusory.
(SB 2.9.34 – purport)
Yogamaya represents the energy of union by which one can see all things in relationship with Lord Krishna, who
possesses infinite and varied energies harmonized in Him. This explains why Einstein failed and all modern
scientists will fail in their attempts to construct the UFT. There exists the Supreme Personality of Godhead who
is the source of everything material and spiritual and in whom all things are harmonized by His absolute potency.
Detaching the relationship of the forces of gravitation and electromagnetism and other forces from Lord Krishna
is illusory, maya. Thus, one remains bewildered by the illusory energy of the Lord.
At present scientists have identified two energies of material creation: electromagnetism and gravity. According
to the Vedic knowledge, everything is composed of the fundamental energies: matter and spirit (the soul).
Beside these two energies there is also the Supreme Personality of Godhead who is present in every atom of
matter and in the heart of every soul. Thus there are three main categories of energies of the Lord: internal,
marginal (infinite individual minute souls – all living entities in the spiritual world and the material world) and
the external (the material world where there is time, three modes of nature, laws of karma).
Lord Krishna pervades everything in the material world by His expansion, the Supersoul (Paramatma). Krishna
contains everything in the material world by His universal form (Virat Rupa) and is within everything as the
Supersoul. Nothing is independent of Krishna and everything is the property of the Lord. All material forms are
made of His inferior spiritual energy (apara prakriti): earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false
ego. All individual souls are His superior spiritual energy (para prakriti). Both are eternal energies of the Lord,
but the material nature is sometimes manifest and sometimes unmanifest. In its unmanifest state, it still exists.
Besides these two there also exists Krishna’s internal energy which has three main categories and many sub-
categories: sandhini (eternity), samvit (knowledge) and hladini (bliss).

The material scientists have only found two sub-categories of matter (the external energy) and their
understanding is still not complete of these. Besides this, they emphatically deny the existence of the soul, or
they claim that the soul is also a product of material combination. They are in an intellectual dead- end by such
inferior ideas.
They will not be able to advance much further unless they accept the existence of the individual souls (the
superior energy) and the Supersoul, the Supreme Personality of Godhead (the cause of all causes). To
understand the Supreme Lord, one must rise above the influence of the three modes of nature: goodness
(sattva), passion (rajas) and ignorance (tamas). The material modes control the conditioned souls like the
speculative and atheist scientists and philosophers. The Supreme Lord, however, is never influenced by these
modes (SB 10.25.12). Unless the mundane scientists and philosophers rise above the influence of the material
modes, they will never understand the true nature of matter and spirit.

Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada confirms:

The activities of the samvit-śakti produce the effect of cognition. Both the Lord and the living entities are
cognizant. Śrī Kṛṣṇa, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, has full knowledge of everything everywhere, and
therefore there are no hindrances to His cognition. He can have knowledge merely by glancing over an object,
