God's Intelligence - Controlling All The Universes

Revision as of 09:38, 25 December 2025 by Navakishora Mukunda (talk | contribs)

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is recognized in the Vedic literature as abhijña—the supremely intelligent and experienced person. All creation, maintenance, and destruction of the cosmic manifestation are executed through this flawless and expert intelligence. Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that the Lord is the chief intelligent person and the ultimate creator, and our human intelligence is merely a subordinate reflection of His mind and power.

Controller of the Cosmos

The vast and complex machinery of the material creation, encompassing innumerable stars, planets, and universes, is ultimately controlled by the intelligence of the Personality of Godhead. He maintains complete detachment while simultaneously overseeing every detail, ensuring that every living entity is given a chance to fulfill their desires and receive the corresponding results (karma).

His intelligence is the supreme cause of material creation, and His mind is compared to the moon, the reservoir of all changes.

Intelligence That Cannot Be Equaled

God's intelligence possesses six full opulences and is beyond comparison, remaining unbroken under any circumstance. Śrīla Prabhupāda uses the practical example of man-made machines to prove the unparalleled nature of God's intelligence: a man cannot create a machine that is capable of producing other machines without requiring the man's individual attention.

Nondevotees (mūḍhas) appreciate the wonderful creation but fail to appreciate the intelligence and energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who stands behind it.

Conclusion

The Supreme Being is the ultimate source of all knowledge and intelligence (parameśvara). By accepting this superior intelligence, as done by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, one recognizes that all the wonderful manifestations of beauty, order, and control in the creation are due to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Lord of intelligence.
