# Clarification

Hearing this, Vidura wondered how the Lord could be so involved with the material energy, and how the living entities could fall into such illusion. Maitreya confirmed that the activities of creation are conducted by the diverse energies of the Lord, who remains completely aloof and untouched. The living entity’s material sojourn, he said, is just like a dream that can be immediately terminated by engagement in devotional service.

Satisfied by this, Vidura asked Maitreya for further insight on Brahma’s creation of the universe after the appearance of the Universal Form. He specifically enquired about the:

• planetary systems and species of living entities 

• Lord’s incarnations, particularly those that oversee the modes of nature (*guna-avataras*) 

• system of Varnasrama and various means of spiritual elevation 

• process of dharma, *arta*, *kama* and *moksa* 

• process of satisfying the Lord.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bhagavata.keshavaswami.com/canto-03/s.a.v.e.s/a-assembly-and-activation-5-12/clarification.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
