Is there any qualitative and quantitative difference between the elemental space and the eternal space created by God?

[An online spiritual discussion was conducted on March 13, 2021, in which several devotees participated. The questions of devotees answered by Swāmi are given below.]

[Kum. Laxmi Thrylokya asked: Padanamaskāram Swami! You have said that the unimaginable God created the eternal space required to form the first Energetic Incarnation. Then He further created the elemental space required for creation. Is the elemental space qualitatively the same as the eternal space, but quantitatively different from it? Kindly explain the difference between the elemental space and the eternal space. -At Your feet, Laxmi Thrylokya.]

Swāmi replied: The eternal space created was small in quantity. It was created by the unimaginable God directly, in order to create the first energetic body for His first Energetic Incarnation. The elemental space is vast in quantity and it appears infinite from the standpoint of the soul. It was created by the unimaginable God existing in a merged state with the first Energetic Incarnation. Qualitatively, both are one and same. The eternal space remains forever because the unimaginable God remains as the mediated God forever. The elemental space is withdrawn in the final dissolution and exists in a very subtle state in the energetic body of the first Energetic Incarnation. This subtle unexpressed state of elemental space is like the film after the film-show is over. It is as if the film-show has gone from an expressed state to an unexpressed, subtle state in the form of the film. The subtle unexpressed state of creation is called avyaktam. The entire creation exists in the avyaktam state, which is a potential state, like the seed is the subtle potential state of a huge tree.
