Chapter2: The Super soul-3

Q:  What are the aspects of opulence called, ‘vibhoothi’ of the Supreme Lord?

 A:  The abode of the Supreme Lord (paramapada), is made up of pure sathva guna is a veritable treasure of opulence. The world (‘prakrithi’), which is a mixture of the three qualities (gunas) of sathva, rajas and thamas is a different kind of opulence. The abode of the Lord (‘paramapada’) is eternal and is called, ‘nithya vibhoothi’. This world is evolved at the time of creation (‘srishti kaala’) and is absorbed by the Supreme Lord within Him at the time of the deluge (‘pralaya’). The Supreme Lord, creates, sustains and dissolves this world continuously as a matter of ‘supreme sport’ (‘leela vibhoothi’).
