God is above and beyond all the limits of time and space. For Him, all beings are equal. The difference between man, beast, bird, worm, insect and even God is but a difference of the 'vessel' (the upadhi). It is like the electric current that flows through various devices and expresses itself in many different functions. There is no distinction in the current; it is the same. So too, the one single God activates every creature and gives rise to manifold consequences. The ignorant feel that all devices are distinct. The wise see only the one uniform current. God appreciates the consciousness of unity as the basic motive of all acts.
- Bhagavatha Vahini, Chap 1.
