The conceiving potency in regard to mundane creation makes her appearance out of the supreme regulatrix. This masculine symbol is the subjective portion of divinity who functions as progenitor of the mundane world, subject to the supreme regulatrix. This halo is the dim twilight reflection of the supreme eternal effulgence. This halo is divine Sambhu, the masculine symbol or manifested emblem of the Supreme Lord. At creation there appears a divine halo of the nature of His own subjective portion. The divine plenary portion of Krishna creates the mundane world. Ramadevi, the spiritual potency, beloved consort of the Supreme Lord, is the regulatrix of all entities. All these subjects are conclusively explained in a nutshell in the Brahma-samhita. There is also a description of the sun and the universal form of the Lord. The mind, yoga-nidra, the goddess of fortune, devotional service in spontaneous ecstasy, incarnations beginning with Lord Ramacandra, Deities, the conditioned soul and its duties, the truth about Lord Visnu, prayers, Vedic hymns, Lord Siva, the Vedic literature, personalism and impersonalism, good behavior, and many other subjects are also discussed. The steps of devotional service are also explained. The Brahma-samhita also explains the demigod Ganesa, Garbhodakasayi Visnu, the origin of the Gayatri mantra, the form of Govinda and His transcendental position and abode, the living entities, the highest goal, the goddess Durga, the meaning of austerity, the five gross elements, love of Godhead, impersonal Brahman, the initiation of Lord Brahma, and the vision of transcendental love enabling one to see the Lord. The chapter also presents methods of devotional service, the eighteen-syllable Vedic hymn, discourses on the soul, the Supersoul and fruitive activity, an explanation of Kama-gayatri, kama-bija and the original Maha-Visnu, and a detailed description of the spiritual world, specifically Goloka Vrindavana. In that fifth chapter, the philosophical conclusion of acintya-bhedabheda-tattva (simultaneous oneness and difference) is presented.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu acquired the fifth chapter from the Adi-kesava temple. The Brahma-samhita is a very important scripture.
