"Among the enterprising and industrious, He [KŠa] is the most

enterprising, the most

industrious." ---- ®r…la Prabhup€da, purport to Bg. 10.36

Bh€g. 1.3.35, purp.: "The Supreme has nothing to do, but because He is

omnipotent, everything is performed by Him naturally, as if done

automatically."

 

Bh€g. 1.18.20, purp.: "That He has nothing to do does not mean that He

is impersonal. He is transcendentally so full of inconceivable

potencies that simply by His willing, everything is done without

physical or personal endeavor. He is called, therefore, Yogevara, or

the Lord of all mystic powers."

 

Bh€g. 2.1.33, purp.: "The power behind the activities is the

supervision of the Lord, and thus the Lord is never inactive as is

wrongly conceived. The Vedas say that the Supreme Lord has nothing to

do personally, as is always the case with superiors, but everything is

done by His direction."

 

®vet€vatara Upaniad 6.7–8:

 

na tasya k€ryaˆ karaŠaˆ ca vidyate

na tat-sama c€bhyadhika ca dyate

parsya aktir vividhaiva r™yate

sv€bh€vik… jñ€na-bala-kriy€ ca

 

"He does not possess bodily form like that of an ordinary living

entity. There is no difference between His body and His soul. He is

absolute. All His senses are transcendental. Any one of His senses can

perform the action of any other sense. Therefore, no one is greater

than Him or equal to Him. His potencies are multifarious, and thus His

deeds are automatically performed as a natural sequence."

Bh€g. 1.8.30: "Of course it is bewildering, O soul of the universe,

that You work, though You are inactive, and that You take birth,

though You are the vital force and the unborn. You Yourself descend

amongst animals, men, sages and aquatics. Verily, this is

bewildering."
