"The Supreme Personality of Godhead has the highest transcendental
knowledge. He never is, was, or will be touched by the temporary names and
forms of the material world."
It this way it is demonstrated that the knowledge possessed by the Supreme

spirit souls.

superior to the individual spirit souls and to the inanimate material world, then

"Everything is the Supreme. Everything is manifested from Him. A peaceful
sage should worship Him."
In the following words the author of the sūtras answers this objection.
Sūtra 34
buddhy-arthaḥ pāda-vat
buddhi—of understanding; arthaḥ—for the purpose; pāda—foot; vat—like.
It is for understanding, like the word "foot".
