"These universes are understood to be floating in the air that Maha-Vishnu exhales. They are like atomic particles that float in sunshine and pass through the holes of a screen. All these universes are thus created by the exhalation of Maha-Vishnu, and when Maha-Vishnu inhales, they re-enter His body. The unlimited opulences of Maha-Vishnu are completely beyond material conception.
