The Bhagavad-gita As It Is (Ch 6) Text 29 - 30

TEXT 29

 

sarva-bhuta-stham atmanam

sarva-bhutani catmani

iksate yoga-yukta-atma

sarvatra sama-darsanah

 

sarva-bhuta -stham situated in all beings; atmanam—the Supersoul;

sarva—all; bhuutani—entities; ca—also; atmani—in the Self; iksate—

does see; yoga-yukta-atma—one who is dovetailed in Krsna -

consciousness; sarvatra— everywhere; sama-darsanah— seeing equally.

 

TRANSLATION

 

A true yogi observes Me in all beings, and also sees every being in

Me.

Indeed, the self-realized man sees Me everywhere.

 

PURPORT

 

A Krsna conscious yogi is the perfect seer because he sees the

Supreme, situated in everyone's heart as Supersoul (Paramatma).

Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese `rjuna tisthati. The Lord in His

Paramatma feature is situated within both the heart of the dog and

that of a brahmana. The perfect yogi knows that the Lord is eternally

transcendental and is not materially affected by His presence in

either a dog or a brahmana That is the supreme neutrality of the

Lord. The individual soul is also situated in the individual heart,

but he is not present in all hearts. That is the distinction between

the individual soul and the Supersoul. One who is not factually in

the practice of yoga cannot see so clearly. A Krsna conscious person

can see Krsna in the heart of both the believer and nonbeliever. In

the smrti this is confirmed as follows: atatatvac ca mat rtvad atma

hi paramo harih

The Lord, being the source of all beings, is like the mother and the

maintainer. As the mother is neutral to all different kinds of

children, the Supreme Father (or Mother) is also, Consequently the

Supersoul is always in every living being. Outwardly, also, every

living being is situated in the

energy of the Lord. As will be explained in the Seventh Chapter, the

Lord has, primarily, two energies—the spiritual (or superior) and the

material (or inferior). The living entity, although part of the

superior energy, is conditioned by the inferior energy; the living

entity is always in the Lord's energy. Every living entity is

situated in Him in one way or another. The yogi sees equally because

he sees that all living entities, although in dif­ferent situations

according to the results of fruitive work, in all circum­stances

remain the servants of God... While in the material energy, the

living entity serves the material senses; and while in spiritual

energy, he serves the Supreme Lord directly. In either case the

living entity is the servant of God. This vision of equality is

perfect in a person in Krsna consciousness.

yo mam pasyati sarvatra

sarvarm ca mayi pasyati

tasyaham na pranasyami

sa ca me na pranasyati

 

yah— whoever; mam—Me; pasyati—sees; sarvatra— everywhere; sarvam—

everything; ca—and; mayi—in Me; pasyati—he sees; tasya—his; aham—I; na

—not; pranasyami—am lost; sah—he; ca—also; me—to Me; na—nor; prana­

syati—is lost.

 

TRANSLATION

 

For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never

lost, nor is he ever lost to Me.

 

PURPORT

 

A person in Krsna consciousness certainly sees Lord Krsna everywhere,

and he sees everything in Krsna Such a person may appear to see all

separate manifestations of the material nature, but in each and every

instance he is conscious of Krsna knowing that everything is the

manifes­tation of Krsna's energy. Nothing can exist without Krsna and

Krsna is the Lord of everything—this is the basic principle of Krsna

consciousness.

Krsna consciousness is the development of love of Krsna—a positton

transcendental even to material liberation. It is the stage beyond

self-realization at which the devotee becomes one with Krsna in the

sense that Krsna becomes everything for the devotee, and the devotee

becomes full in loving Krsna. An intimate relationship between the

Lord and the devotee then exists. In that stage, the living entity

attains his immortality. Nor is the Personality of Godhead ever out

of the sight of the devotee. To merge in Krsna is spiritual

annihilation. A devotee takes no such risk. It is stated in the

Brahma-samhita:

 

premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena

santah sadaiva hydayesu vilokayanti.

yam syamasundaram acintya-guna -svarupam

govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami

 

"I worship the primeval Lord, Govinda, who is always seen by the

devotee whose eyes are anointed with the pulp ot love. He is seen in

His eternal form of Syamasundara situated within the heart of the

devotee." (Bs. 5.38)

At this stage, Lord Krsna never disappears from the sight of the

devotee, nor does the devotee ever lose sight of the Lord. In the

case of a yogi who sees the Lord as Paramatma within the heart, the

same applies. Such a yogi turns into a pure devotee and cannot bear

to live for a moment with­out seeing the Lord within himself.
