Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Madhya 20.273

 

svāńga-viśeṣābhāsa-rūpe prakṛti-sparśana

jīva-rūpa 'bīja' tāte kailā samarpaṇa

 

SYNONYMS

sva-ańga-viśeṣa-ābhāsa-rūpe — in the form of a specific shadow from His personal body; prakṛti-sparśana — the Lord glances over the material nature; jīva-rūpa — having the form of the sparklike living entities, who are parts and parcels; bīja — semen; tāte — in that material nature; kailā samarpaṇa — impregnated.

 

 

TRANSLATION

"To impregnate with the seeds of the living entities, the Lord Himself does not directly touch the material energy, but by His specific functional expansion (SIVA) He touches the material energy, and thus the living entities, who are His parts and parcels, are impregnated into material nature.

[gHari]

Acintya bhedAbheda. He is the Father, the cause of all causes, sarva-kAraNa-kAraNam. Even His energies and paraphenalia are acintya bhedAbheda. Even Srimati Radharani is acintya bhedAbheda forever for His enjoyment in pastimes. From Sri Krsna's viewpoint, He is the Father, the Cause, the Shelter, the Reason, [url="http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=1063665"]acintya bhedAbheda.

Teachings of Lord Caitanya ch. 8 intro -

 

 

Similarly, by expanding Himself as Lord Siva, the Supreme Lord is engaged when there is a need to annihilate the universe. Lord Siva, in association with maya, has many forms, which are generally numbered at eleven. Lord Siva is not one of the living entities; he is, more or less, Krishna Himself. The example of milk and yogurt is often given in this regard -- yogurt is a preparation of milk, but still yogurt cannot be used as milk. Similarly, Lord Siva is an expansion of Krishna, but he cannot act as Krishna, nor can we derive the spiritual restoration from Lord Siva that we derive from Krishna. The essential difference is that Lord Siva has a connection with material nature, but Vishnu or Lord Krishna has nothing to do with material nature. In Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.88.3) it is stated that Lord Siva is a combination of three kinds of transformed consciousness known as vaikarika, taijasa and tamasa.
