LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 71

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

Compiled by: Swami Dattananda

Bhaktimala, September 1999

 

"Know Me, O! Arjuna, as the eternal seed of all

beings. I am the intellect of the intelligent and

splendor of the splendid."

 

Innumerable types of ornaments can be made out of

gold. And as the gold is the cause and the ornaments

its effects, it can be said that the gold is the seed

of those ornaments. As gold is the source of those

ornaments, it is clear that the gold and the ornaments

are not different from each other. In the same way,

the Lord is the eternal seed or the source of all

beings. He manifests Himself in this universe in

different forms. Therefore, in essence, every being is

not different from God. Every being is God.

 

Intelligence and splendor are the forms of the Lord.

That means, the Lord stays in the intelligent in the

form of intelligence and in the splendid in the form

of splendor. As the air that enters in our lungs

belongs to the atmosphere and does not belong to us,

so also, the intelligence or strength that we possess

belongs to the Lord. In short, all powers that we have

are the manifestations of the Lord.
