ĹrÄŤla Bhaktivinoda ᚏhÄkura explains these verses as follows: ĹrÄŤ SanÄtana GosvÄmÄŤ asked ĹrÄŤ Caitanya MahÄprabhu, âWho am I?â In answer, the Lord replied, âYou are a pure living entity. You are neither the gross material body nor the subtle body composed of mind and intelligence. Actually you are a spirit soul, eternally part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, KášášŁáša. Therefore you are His eternal servant. You belong to KášášŁášaâs marginal potency. There are two worlds â the spiritual world and the material world â and you are situated between the material and spiritual potencies. You have a relationship with both the material and the spiritual world; therefore you are called the marginal potency. You are related with KášášŁáša as one and simultaneously different. Because you are spirit soul, you are one in quality with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but because you are a very minute particle of spirit soul, you are different from the Supreme Soul. Therefore your position is simultaneously one with and different from the Supreme Soul. The examples given are those of the sun itself and the small particles of sunshine and of a blazing fire and the small particles of fire.â Another explanation of these verses can be found in Ädi-lÄŤlÄ, chapter two, verse 96.
