Saṁśaya---Is or is not the Supreme Personality of Godhead the ingredient of
which the material universe is made?
Pūrvapakṣa---Is the Supreme Personality of Godhead the ingredient of which
the material universe is made? No, because the Supreme Personality of Godhead is
completely different from this world of matter. It is generally accepted that the
Supreme Personality of Godhead is all-knowing, all- powerful, completely pure,
and full of all transcendental bliss. The material universe, on the other hand, is
directly seen to be full of ignorance, weakness, impurity, and misery. Therefore
there is no debate about whether the two of them have differing natures. That a
substance and the ingredient of which it is made must have the same nature is
clearly seen. For example clay, gold, and thread are the ingredients of which
poettery, crowns, and cloth are made. However, because the Supreme Personality
of Godhead is different in nature from the material universe, another ingredient
should be sought. That ingredient is pradhāna because pradhāna possesses the
same nature as this material universe filled with material happinesses, material
sufferings, and various illusions. In order to prove that the Supreme Personality of
Godhead has the same nature as the material universe, someone may say: "Within
the Supreme Personality of Godhead are two very subtle potencies: a conscious
spiritual potency, and an inert material potency. In this way the Supreme
Personality of Godhead is the ingredient of which the material universe is made."
Because it states that a very subtle potency is the ingredient of which the very
gross material world is made, even this argument does not resolve the great
difference between the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the material universe.
Other differences between the two may also be seen. In this way the Supreme
Personality of Godhead is not the ingredient of which the material universe is
made. Although logic must be subordinate to scripture, still, in order to
understand the truth scripture must sometimes be subordinate to logic. This is the
statement of the Pūrvapakṣa.
Siddhānta---He now refutes this argument.
Sutra 6
dṛṣyate tu
But this is (not) seen by direct perception.
Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa
The word tu (but) is used here to dispel doubt. The word na (not), taken from
the previous sūtra, should be understood in this sūtra also. Someone may say:
"Because He is different in nature, the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot be
the ingredient from which the material universe is made." The answer is given:
"Because it is many times seen that there is a difference between things and the
ingredients of which they are made, it cannot be said that the Supreme Personality
of Godhead cannot be the ingredient of which the material universe is made." The
