spirit is dynamic and matter is static

Philosophy · asked by user [] · 2008-06-25 · 1 answers
Mundane news is static whereas transcendental news is dynamic, inasmuch as the spirit is dynamic and matter is static.

=> SB 1.1.19

Could someone of respected devotees share his realization and understanding about this point?

Thank you.

"Although the Sankhya philosophy accepts that the material ingredients are the cause, the creation of the world never arises from dead matter.
"The Lord infuses the material ingredients with His own creative potency. Then, by the power of the Lord, creation takes place." (CC 1.6.18-19)
