	It is stated here in the 1st verse of Srimad Bhagwatam that Brahma was taught the Vedic knowledge by the Personality of Godhead. One may argue that Brahma is the original living being within this Universe, and who could then give him inspiration, as there was no second being at that time? In the Ist verse of Srimad Bhagwatam it is said that the Supreme Lord inspired the secondary creator, Brahma, who then could go on with the creative functions. What we have already mentioned above about the supervising engineer is applicable here. The Real Mind behind all creative agents is the Absolute Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Sri Krishna has Personally admitted that it is He only Who superintends over the creative energy, Prakriti, or the sum total of matter. Sri Vyasadeva, therefore, worships neither Brahma nor the Sun, but the Supreme Lord Who guides both Brahma and the Sun in their different activities of creation.

	In the 1st verse of Srimad Bhagwatam the particular Sanscrit words Avijna and Swarat are significant. These two words distinguish the Lord from all other living entities. No living entity other than the Supreme Being, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is either Avijna or Swarat—i.e., none of the entities are either fully cognizant, or fully independent. Everyone has to learn from the superior all about knowledge. Even Brahma, who is the first living being within this material world, has to meditate upon the Supreme Lord and take help from Him in order to create. When Brahma, or the Sun, cannot create anything without acquiring required knowledge from the superior, then what to speak of the material scientists who are fully dependent on so many things? Jagadish Chandra Bose, Isaac Newton, ~~Pro£~~ Einstein, etc. of the modern scientists who may be boastful of their respective creative energies, were also dependent on the Supreme Lord for so many things. After all, the respective, highly intelligent brains of these gentlemen were certainly not the products of any human being. The brain is created by another agent, other than the celebrated scientists themselves. If brains like that of Jagadish Bose or of Isaac Newton could have been manufactured by any human being, then they would have produced many such brains instead of eulogizing the brains of these scientists. Even the scientists could not manufacture a similar brain, what to speak of other foolish atheists who defy the authority of the Lord?

	Even the Mayavadi impersonalists who flatter themselves that they have become the Lord are not Avijna or Swarat, fully cognizant or fully independent. Such Mayavadi monists undergo a severe process of austerity and penances to acquire the knowledge of becoming one with the Lord, but ultimately they become dependent on some rich follower who supplies them the requisite paraphernalia to conduct a great establishment in the form of monastery and temples. Atheists like Ravana and Hiranya Kashipu had to undergo severe penances before they could flout the authority of the Lord, and ultimately they were so helpless that they could not save themselves when the Lord appeared before them as cruel Death. The same is applicable to the modern atheists also who dare to flout the authority of the Lord. Such atheists will be dealt similar awards as were meted out to the past great atheists like Ravana and Hiranya Kashipu. History repeats itself and so what was accorded in the past, will recur again and again whenever there is such necessity. Whenever there is negligence of the authority of the Lord, the penalty by the laws of Nature is always there.
