13.20 Know thou that Nature (matter) and the Spirit are both beginningless; and know also that all modifications and alities are born of Nature.

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaEnglish

Material nature and the living entities should be understood to be beginningless. Their transformations and the modes of matter are products of material nature.
