Translation

Translation

Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.

Il existe cependant une autre nature non manifestée, qui est éternelle et se situe au-delà des états manifesté et non manifesté de la matière. Indestructible et suprême, elle demeure intacte quand tout en l’univers matériel est dissous.

Kṛṣṇa’s superior, spiritual energy is transcendental and eternal. It is beyond all the changes of material nature, which is manifest and annihilated during the days and nights of Brahmā. Kṛṣṇa’s superior energy is completely opposite in quality to material nature. Superior and inferior nature are explained in the Seventh Chapter.

L’énergie spirituelle, ou énergie supérieure de Kṛṣṇa, est éternelle et absolue. Elle transcende les mutations de la nature matérielle, qui se trouve manifestée puis annihilée durant les jours et les nuits de Brahmā. Elle est, qualitativement, l’inverse de la matière. Ces deux énergies, supérieure et inférieure, ont déjà été analysées dans le septième chapitre.
