According to bhagavAn shrI ramaNa mahaR^ishhii X:20

gives the essential message of the giitaa.

 

ahamaatmaa guDaakesha sarvabhuutaashayasthitaH .

ahamaadishcha madhyaM cha bhuutaanaamanta eva cha .. 10-20..

 

Which means:

I am the Self, O guDaakesha, dwelling in the heart of all beings; I am

the beginning, middle, and also the end of all beings.

aatmaa nityam dheyayaH" -only for those who do not qualify for such a

method krishhNa gives the subsequent forms such as I am vishhNu among

aadityas etc. By saying I am the beginning etc, creation, sustenance,

and dissolution aspects of ishwara is indicated.

Thank you for this beautiful job Raviji. I had been thinking about typing up

these verses myself and sending them one by one to the list.

 

Love to all
