एवं प्रवर्तते सर्गः स्थितिः संयम एव च । गुणव्यतिकराद्राजन् मायया परमात्मनः ।। ४-११-१६ ।।

sanskrit

Manu continued: My dear King Dhruva, it is simply by the illusory material energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and by the interaction of the three modes of material nature that creation, maintenance and annihilation take place. ।। 4-11-16 ।।

निमित्तमात्रं तत्रासीन्निर्गुणः पुरुषर्षभः । व्यक्ताव्यक्तमिदं विश्वं यत्र भ्रमति लोहवत् ।। ४-११-१७ ।।

sanskrit

My dear Dhruva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is uncontaminated by the material modes of nature. He is the remote cause of the creation of this material cosmic manifestation. When He gives the impetus, many other causes and effects are produced, and thus the whole universe moves, just as iron moves by the integrated force of a magnet. ।। 4-11-17 ।।

स खल्विदं भगवान् कालशक्त्या गुणप्रवाहेण विभक्तवीर्यः । करोत्यकर्तैव निहन्त्यहन्ता चेष्टा विभूम्नः खलु दुर्विभाव्या ।। ४-११-१८ ।।

sanskrit

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His inconceivable supreme energy, time, causes the interaction of the three modes of material nature, and thus varieties of energy become manifest. It appears that He is acting, but He is not the actor. He is killing, but He is not the killer. Thus it is understood that only by His inconceivable power is everything happening. ।। 4-11-18 ।।

सोऽनन्तोऽन्तकरः कालोऽनादिरादिकृदव्ययः । जनं जनेन जनयन् मारयन् मृत्युनान्तकम् ।। ४-११-१९ ।।

sanskrit

My dear Dhruva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is ever existing, but in the form of time He is the killer of everything. He has no beginning, although He is the beginning of everything, nor is He ever exhaustible, although everything is exhausted in due course of time. The living entities are created through the agency of the father and killed through the agency of death, but He is perpetually free of birth and death. ।। 4-11-19 ।।

न वै स्वपक्षोऽस्य विपक्ष एव वा परस्य मृत्योर्विशतः समं प्रजाः । तं धावमानमनुधावन्त्यनीशा यथा रजांस्यनिलं भूतसङ्घाः ।। ४-११-२० ।।

sanskrit

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, in His feature of eternal time, is present in the material world and is neutral towards everyone. No one is His ally, and no one is His enemy. Within the jurisdiction of the time element, everyone enjoys or suffers the result of his own karma, or fruitive activities. As, when the wind blows, small particles of dust fly in the air, so, according to one’s particular karma, one suffers or enjoys material life. ।। 4-11-20 ।।
