PURPORT
By devotional service or by the most confidential knowledge, one can understand very easily how the different energies of the Lord is working. One part of energy is manifesting the material world, the other superior part of His energy is manifesting the spiritual world. And the via media energy is manifesting the living entities who are serving under either of the above mentioned energies. The living entities serving under the material energy are struggling hard for existence and happiness which is presented to them is illusion. But in the spiritual energy they are placed under the direct service of the Lord in eternal life, complete knowledge and perpetual bliss. The Lord desires, as He has directly said in the Bhagwat Geeta, that all conditioned souls, rotting in the kingdom of material energy, may come back to Him by giving up all engagements in the material world. This is the most confidential part of knowledge. But this can be understood only by the pure devotees and such devotees only are entered in the kingdom of God to see Him personally and serve Him personally. The concrete example is Narada Himself who has attained this stage of life of eternal knowledge and eternal bliss. And the ways and means are open to all like Narada Muni provided one agrees to follow the footprints of Sri Narada Muni. According to Suruti the Supreme Lord has unlimited energies without any effort by Him and the whole energy is described under three principal headings as above mentioned.
