Text 30

 

yo mam pasyati sarvatra

sarvam 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;

pranasyati-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 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 position

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-samhhita:

 

premanjana- cch urita- bhak ti-vilocanena

san tah sadaiva hrdayesu vilok ayan ti.

yam syamasundararam ac in tya-guna-svarupam

govindam adi-purusarm tam aham bhajami

 

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

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

His eternal form of Syamasundara situated within the heart of the

devotee." (Bg. 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.

 

 

TEXT 31

 

 

sarva-bhuta-sthitam yo mam

bhajaty ekatvam asthitah

sarvatha vartamano `pi

sa yogi mayi vartate

 

sarva-bhuta-sthitam-situated in everyone's heart; yah-he who; mam-

unto Me; bhajati-serves in devotional service; ekatvam-oneness;

asthitah-thus situated; sarvatha-in all respects; vartamanah-being

situated; api- in spite of; sah-he; yogi-transcendentalist; mayi-unto

Me; vartate-remains.

 

TRANSLATION

 

 

The yogi who knows that I and the Supersoul within all

creatures are one worships Me and remains always in Me in all

circumstances.

 

PURPORT

 

A yogi who is practicing meditation on the Supersoul sees within

himself the plenary portion of Krsna as Visnu-with four hands,

holding conchshell, wheel, club and lotus flower. The yogi should

know that Visnu is not different from Krsna Krsna in this form of

Supersoul is situated in everyone's heart. Furthermore, there is no

difference between the innumerable Supersouls present in the

innumerable hearts of living entities. Nor is there a difference

between a Krsna conscious person always engaged in the transcendental

loving service of Krsna and a perfect yogi engaged in meditation on

the Supersoul. The yogi in Krsna consciousness- even though he may be

engaged in various activities while in material existence-remains

always situated in Krsna This is confirmed in the Bhaktirasamrta-

sindhu of Srila Rupa Gosvami: nikhilesu avasthasu jivanmukta sa

ucyate. A devotee of the Lord, always acting in Krsna consciousness,

is automatically liberated. In the Narada-pancaratra this is

confirmed in this way:

dik-kalady-anavacchinne krsne ceto vidhadya ca

tanmayo bhavati ksipram jivo brahmani yojayet.

 

"By concentrating one's attention on the transcendental form of Krsna

who is all-pervading and beyond time and space, one becomes absorbed

in thinking of Krsna and then attains the happy state of

transcendental association with Him."

Krsna consciousness is the highest stage of trance in yoga practice.

This very understanding that Krsna is present as Paramatma in

everyone's heart makes the yogi faultless. The Vedas confirm this

inconceivable potency of the Lord as follows:

 

eko'pi san bahudha yo'vabhati

aisvaryad rupam ekam ca suryavad bahudheyate.

 

"Visnu is one, and yet He is certainly all-pervading. By His

inconceivable potency, in spite of His one form, He is present

everywhere. As the sun, He appears in many places at once.
