	So the woman, the female, is the energy. When a man comes at home, he sees that everything is nicely decorated, my wife is well dressed and foodstuff is nicely prepared, he becomes encouraged. He can work more nicely. Therefore woman is the energy. The woman gives the energy and he can work. Wherefrom this idea came? The idea came because it is originally here, ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1]]).		So the woman, the female, is the energy.

Therefore woman is the energy. The woman gives the energy and he can work. Wherefrom this idea came? The idea came because it is originally here, ''janmādy asya yataḥ'' ([[SB 1.1.1]]).

	Everything is coming from the Supreme; otherwise where do you get this idea—''sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma'' (''Chāndogya Upaniṣad'' 3.14.1), without being in the origin? ''Bījo 'haṁ sarva-bhūtānām'' ([[BG 7.10 (1972)\|BG 7.10]]), Kṛṣṇa says that, "I am the root of everything."		Everything is coming from the Supreme; otherwise where do you get this idea—''sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma'' (Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.14.1), without being in the origin? ''Bījo 'haṁ sarva-bhūtānām'' ([[BG 7.10 (1972)\|BG 7.10]]), Kṛṣṇa says that, "I am the root of everything."

	So if this energy, male and female combination, is a necessity, so where from this necessity came into existence unless it is there in the origin?		So if this energy, male and female combination, is a necessity, so where from this necessity came into existence unless it is there in the origin?

	Therefore it is to be understood that the Absolute has energy. He has got different energies. By His energies He is acting, and that is confirmed in the Vedic ''sūtra, parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'' (''Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad'' 6.8).		Therefore it is to be understood that the Absolute has energy. He has got different energies. By His energies He is acting, and that is confirmed in the Vedic ''sūtra, parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'' (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8).

	The Supreme Absolute Truth has multi-energies. ''Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'', multi-energies. And ''svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca'', and by His energies He's working in such a nice way that it appears that it is being automatically done. Just like this tape recorder is working. How it is working? The electric energy is there.		The Supreme Absolute Truth has multi-energies. ''Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate'', multi-energies.

How it is working? The electric energy is there.

	If somebody hears from other room, he'll understand that Swāmījī's speaking, but still, that speaking is different from me. Because my energy is working there. Similarly, there are two kinds of energies. Just like when I am speaking, this is my real energy, and when this tape recorder will speak, that is also my energy, but that is separated energy.

Similarly, there are two kinds of energies. Just like when I am speaking, this is my real energy, and when this tape recorder will speak, that is also my energy, but that is separated energy.

	Similarly, this material manifestation is separated energy, and there is direct energy. The direct . . . this material energy, separated energy, is the reflection of the direct energy. Just like when this tape recorder will be replayed it is the reflection of my original speech. Similarly, this material manifestation is a reflection of the original energy, internal energy. Therefore in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' it is stated that perverted reflection. As . . . as . . . ''~~Ūrdhva~~-mūlam adhah-śākham'' ([[BG 15.1 (1972)\|BG 15.1]]), perverted, a tree.

	Prabhupāda: . . . the whole atmosphere, you should come and disturb. You are making . . . you cannot understand? And the whole attention is diverted to you.

This is grammatical rule. So Hare Kṛṣṇa means, "Oh, the energy of Kṛṣṇa, or energy of the Lord," and Kṛṣṇa, "the Lord." So Hare Kṛṣṇa. Hare Kṛṣṇa means I am praying not only to the Lord, but to the energy also.		'''Prabhupāda:''' . . . the whole atmosphere, you should come and disturb. You are making . . . you cannot understand?

	This is natural. Just like a man and woman. In whole world there is combination of male and female, either . . . any society—human society, or bird society or dog society or animal society—why this male and female? Why? Female is the energy, energy of the male. Why a man takes, marries a woman and takes responsibility . . .?		This is natural. Just like a man and woman.

	So we are hankering after life, we are hankering after pleasure, but we are seeking pleasure in the reflection, ''māyā''. Therefore we are frustrated, confused.

Without energy, he is incomplete. Sun without sunshine is incomplete. Is it possible? Can one think of sun without sunshine?
