Srimad Bhagavatam — Shashtha Skandha, Shloka 30
Soma Pacifies the Pracetās; Dakṣa’s Haṁsa-guhya Prayers; Hari Grants Creative Power
यस्मिन्यतो येन च यस्य यस्मै यद्यो यथा कुरुते कार्यते च । परावरेषां परमं प्राक् प्रसिद्धं तद् ब्रह्म तद्धेतुरनन्यदेकम् ॥ ३० ॥
yasmin yato yena ca yasya yasmai yad yo yathā kurute kāryate ca parāvareṣāṁ paramaṁ prāk prasiddhaṁ tad brahma tad dhetur ananyad ekam
万有安住于祂；由祂而出、凭祂而行。万物皆属祂，亦皆奉献于祂。祂亲自作为，也令众生作为——祂即自古已著名的至上梵（帕拉布拉曼）。虽有高下诸因，祂却是因中之因，独一无二，无有他因。故我向祂恭敬致礼。
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, is the original cause, as confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā ( ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ). Even this material world, which is conducted under the modes of material nature, is caused by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who therefore also has an intimate relationship with the material world. If the material world were not a part of His body, the Supreme Lord, the supreme cause, would be incomplete. Therefore we hear, vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ: if one knows that Vāsudeva is the original cause of all causes, he becomes a perfect mahātmā.

To affirm that the Supreme Truth is the ultimate, independent source behind all causes—there is no rival or separate second principle outside Him.
It cultivates humility and steadiness: do your duty sincerely while remembering outcomes and capacities ultimately depend on the Supreme will and support.
