The liberation of the Bhattacarya Madhya lila chapter 6 .
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued, “When the Supreme Personality of Godhead wished to become many, He glanced over the material energy. Before the creation there were no mundane eyes or mind; therefore the transcendental nature of the Absolute Truth’s mind and eyes is confirmed.
Purport
In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (6.2.3), it is said, tad aikṣata bahu syāṁ prajāyeya. This statement confirms the fact that when the Supreme Personality of Godhead wishes to become many, the cosmic manifestation arises simply by His glancing over material energy. It may be noted that the Supreme Lord glanced over the material nature before the creation of this cosmic manifestation. Before the creation there were no material minds or material eyes; therefore the mind by which the Supreme Personality of Godhead desired to create is transcendental, and the eyes with which He glanced over material nature are also transcendental. Thus the Lord’s mind, eyes and other senses are all transcendental.

There are records in the Vedas of cyclic glances , during the creation , maintenance and destructions of universes .One can further consider before the cyclic cycles, where did the jiva come from , Maha Sankarsana and Mula Sankarsana should be referenced as well as the brahman effulgence. Lord Balarama is the originator of the expansions of the Jivas , and Balarama is the first expansion of Krishna, and Maha Visnu is an expansion of Maha Sankarsana. Maha Visnu is serving a purpose to fulfil the desire of some living beings, who do not want to , or do not feel ,at least yet , a spontaneous attraction to associate in love with Krishna and His friends lovers and family.
The learners come to the material atmosphere, others hover in an indecisive state in Brahman , one might say ..
