Guest guest Posted April 28, 2001 Report Share Posted April 28, 2001 ³Isvarah sarvabhutanam hriddese arjuna tishthati²‹The Lord says, ³O Arjuna, the Almighty is seated in the hearts of all beings.² ³Ahamatma gudakesa sarvabhutasaya sthitah²‹I am the Indwelling Spirit, O Arjuna, present in the bodies of all beings.² Kshetrajnam chapi mam viddhi sarvakshetreshu bharata‹Know me to be the Knower of the field in all fields, O Arjuna. The field is this body and the Knower is the consciousness that knows this body. The truth that has been given out by innumerable saints and sages of the past and the present is that even though you may be dwelling in Johannesburg or Pretoria or any other place, yet you are dwelling in closest proximity to the Eternal and immortal Being within your body. Your body dwells in this material world, your mind functions in this phenomenal universe. But at the same time, at the very moment, you simultaneously dwell in Him who is right within you as the essence of your existence, as the basis of your being, as the very core of your innermost consciousness. Even as butter is present in milk, fire is present in wood, oil is present hidden in seed, the Indwelling Reality is present. Butter is the very essence of milk. Oil is the very essence of seed. So the Reality is your very essence. (REALIZATION THROUGH DEVOTION By SRI SWAMI CHIDANANDA; 1997) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
