This means that He originally has three potencies-the pleasure potency, the potency of eternality and the potency of knowledge.

Together these are called the cit potency, and they are present in full in the Supreme Lord.

For the living entities, who are part and parcel of the Lord, the pleasure potency in the material world is sometimes displeasing and sometimes mixed.

This is not the case with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because He is not under the influence of the material energy or its modes.’
