So, if you have read Caitanya-caritamrta, or the books of Jiva Gosvami, then you can understand something—otherwise not. Krsna is advaya-jnana-para-tattva. All the souls and universes have come from Him. Vaikuntha and Goloka Vrndavana have also come from Him. All the gopas and gopis have also come from Him. How have they come? They have come by three kinds of sakti: cit-sakti, jiva-sakti, and maya-sakti. These potencies are the aspects of sandhini-sakti, samvit-sakti, and hladini-sakti. What are these saktis or potencies? Now, you cannot imagine them. Firstly, you have to be under the guidance of any Vaisnava and you should try to serve him. Thus, you will gradually advance in your devotion.
