This chapter explains that Lord Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead KášášŁáša Himself. Therefore, the Brahman effulgence is the bodily luster of Lord Caitanya, and the localized Supersoul situated in the heart of every living entity is His partial representation. The puruᚣa-avatÄras are also explained in this connection. MahÄ-Viᚣášu is the reservoir of all conditioned souls, but, as confirmed in the authoritative scriptures, Lord KášášŁáša is the ultimate fountainhead, the source of numerous plenary expansions, including NÄrÄyaáša, who is generally accepted by MÄyÄvÄdÄŤ philosophers to be the Absolute Truth. The Lordâs manifestation of prÄbhava and vaibhava expansions, as well as partial incarnations and incarnations with delegated powers, are also explained. Lord KášášŁášaâs ages of boyhood and youth are discussed, and it is explained that His age at the beginning of youth is His eternal form.The spiritual sky contains innumerable spiritual planets, the Vaikuášášhas, which are manifestations of the Supreme Lordâs internal energy. Innumerable material universes are similarly exhibited by His external energy, and the living entities are manifested by His marginal energy. Because Lord KášášŁáša Caitanya is not different from Lord KášášŁáša, He is the cause of all causes; there is no cause beyond Him. He is eternal, and His form is spiritual. Lord Caitanya is directly the Supreme Lord, KášášŁáša, as the evidence of authoritative scriptures proves. This chapter stresses that a devotee who wishes to advance in KášášŁáša consciousness must have knowledge of KášášŁášaâs personal form, His three principal energies, His pastimes and the relationship of the living entities with Him.
