TEXT 106

parama-tattva, para-brahma, parama-īśvara
dekhi' prabhura mūrti sarva-jña ha-ila phāṅphara


SYNONYMS

parama-tattva—the Supreme Truth; para-brahma—the Supreme Brahman; parama-īśvara—the Supreme Lord; dekhi'-seeing; prabhura—of the Lord; mūrti—form; sarva-jña—the all-knowing astrologer; ha-ila—became; phāṅphara—confused.


TRANSLATION

Seeing Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to be the same Absolute Truth, the Supreme Brahman, the Personality of Godhead, the astrologer was confused.


PURPORT

Herein it is clearly indicated that the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Brahman, is, in the ultimate issue, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore a person is the beginning of all things. As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā (10.8), mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate: everything begins from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Lord is the supreme living entity. Therefore whatever exists, whether matter or spirit, is all but an emanation from the Supreme Person, or supreme life. The modern scientists' theory that life begins from matter is nonsense. Both matter and life begin from life. Unfortunately the scientists do not know this scientific fact; they are drifting in the darkness of their so-called knowledge.
