According to the Vedic mantras, yato vÄ imÄni bhÅ«tÄni jÄyante: everything is an emanation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As stated by the Lord Himself in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (7.4):
bhÅ«mir Äpo ’nalo vÄyuḥ
khaá¹ mano buddhir eva ca
ahaá¹…kÄra itÄ«yaá¹ me
bhinnÄ praká¹›tir aá¹£á¹adhÄ
“Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego — all together these eight comprise My separated material energies.†In other words, the ingredients of the cosmic manifestation also consist of the energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This does not mean, however, that because the ingredients come from Him, He is no longer complete. PÅ«rṇasya pÅ«rṇam ÄdÄya pÅ«rṇam evÄvaÅ›iá¹£yate: “Because He is the complete whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.†Thus the Lord is called avyaya, inexhaustible. Unless we accept the Absolute Truth as acintya-bhedÄbheda, simultaneously one and different, we cannot have a clear conception of the Absolute Truth. The Lord is the root of everything. Aham Ädir hi devÄnÄm: He is the original cause of all the devas, or demigods. Ahaá¹ sarvasya prabhavaḥ: everything emanates from Him. In all cases — nominative, objective, positive, negative and so on — whatever we may conceive of in this entire cosmic manifestation is in fact the Supreme Lord. For Him there are no such distinctions as “this is mine, and this belongs to someone else,†because He is everything. He is therefore called avyaya — changeless and inexhaustible. Because the Supreme Lord is avyaya, He is the Absolute Truth, the fully spiritual Supreme Brahman.
