In response to the message # 2816, I would like to respond as follows;

Arjuna realises that Lord Krishna is indeed an incarnation of the Lord Vishnu and as per verse 43 of chapter 11, Arjuna continues adoration of the Lord by eulogising, "You are the father of the world of the moving as well as the unmoving. You are the sole idol of the worship and its venerable teacher. None is equal to you. How then could there be anyone greater than you in these three worlds, O Lord of incomparable greatness."

As the Lord Vishnu pervades the entire Universe, there is hardly anything that is not God.

However, please refer verse 12 from chapter 7 from Shreemad Bhagawad Geeta, wherein Lord Krishna has asserted that, "Whatever natures that are Saattvika (purity), Raajasika (passion) and Taamasika (indolence) – these certainly know as from Me alone; I am not in them but they are in Me."

Lord Krishna uses `Me' to mean himself as the personification of the Brahman, in the human form.

Please also refer verse 25 from chapter 7 from Shreemad Bhagawad Geeta, wherein Lord Krishna has asserted that, "Veiled by My creative power (Yoga-Maayaa) I am not revealed to all. This bewildered world knows Me not, the unborn, the unchanging."

Thanks & Best Wishes,

Shrikant Joshi

God is everything and everything is in God. Entire Gita is full of such quotes.Basudeb Sen--------------

Hari OmSuch a Q does not arise and should not arise, at the outset. "Mattah parataram naanyat kinchidasti ...." (7:7) - "There is nothing else besides Me, like clusters of yarn beads, formed by knots on a thread, all this is threaded on Me " (7/7) "sadsacchahamarjun" "I am Neing and Non Being both" etc. "To find out" - What and Why ?Since the Q has been raised hence the answer can only be one. For one who does not "accept" that God is in all and in everything, the God does not exist FOR him in all and in everything. Exactly therefore then various verses in Gita particularly in Chapter 16 emanate , e g "mamatma pardeheshu pradvishanto ..." etc in chapter 16 wrt the "asuri" nature souls. Hence although Paramatma exists in all and in everything, however, to the ignorant ones He does not exist, for they don't "assume/accept" so !In essence it is all a matter of "acceptance" by individual embodied souls and not of "reality"- for in reality the answer is known !Jai Shree KrishnaVyas N B

A GOD'S DEVOTTEE feels,WHEN EVERY THING IS GOD AND ALL IS GOD, THEN WHY DESIRE TEMPORARY WORLDLY THINGS? DESIRE ONLY GOD THEN , WHO IS ONLY PERMANENT.IT IS GOD WHO HAS COMPELLED this tiny devotee to think in this way. THIS FEELINGS ALSO IS GIVEN BY THE ALLMIGHTY ONLY.JAI MAA KALIHARE KRISHNA

Shree Hari: Ram Ram. Sadhakas were requested to state what Gita tells us about 'what is not God / Bhagawan / Paramatma' giving quotes from Gita only. This is a serious study, not a ritual.

Thanks to the Sadhakas who responded and as they haven't quoted what was required, their responses have been replied duly (in RED below).

The Gita - Talk Moderators are REQUESTED TO HELP is finding the truth in 700 verses of Gita. This study has the purpose of linking verse 19 chapter 7 with verse 66 chapter 18.Ram Ram. Vineet, Sarvottam

-Shree Hari-Namaste!Taking a lead from Shrikant Joshi regards 7:12 BhagavadGeeta, 7:14 says:-Verily this divine illusion of Mine made up of the qualities (of Nature) is difficult to cross over; those who take refuge in me alone cross over this illusion.Thus if the question is what is not GOD, Illusions, are not God, thus everything is GOD.With Respect and Divine Love,Mike Keenor

Dear Sadaks,(chapter 16 wrt the "asuri" nature souls. Hence although Paramatma exists in all and in everything, however, to the ignorant ones He does not exist, for they don't "assume/accept" so !) says a sadak. Even in ignorant ones HE exists, but the ignorance is the cause to uncover Bagavan in his mind.In ADHARMA "NOT GOD"B.Sathyanarayan

----------

Namaste.There does not exist anything that is "NOT GOD / BHAGAVAN / PARAMATMA".Here are a few verses from Gita that demonstrate this:

I am the Kratu, I the Yajna, I the Svadhâ, I the Aushadham, I the Mantra, I the Ajyam, I the fire, and I the oblation.

I am the Father of this world, the Mother, the Sustainer, the Grandfather; the Purifier, the (one) thing to be known, (the syllable) Om, and also the Rik, Sâman and Yajus.

The Goal, the Supporter, the Lord, the Witness, the Abode, the Refuge, the Friend, the Origin, the Dissolution, the Substratum, the Storehouse, the Seed immutable.

(As sun) I give heat: I withhold and send forth rain; I am immortality and also death; being and non-being am I, O Arjuna! Gita 9-16 to 19Gita 9-19 is of particular importance, in that Bhagavan tells that He is immortal life and He is inevitable death. He is the manifest temporary, physical creation and at the same time He is the unmanifest eternal, invisible creation.

Since He patronises all, the Supreme Lord is pitaham the father. Since He comprehends all the needs of everything in creation He is the matah or mother. Since He is superior to even Prajapati who designed and constructed the worlds, he is pitamahah the grandsire . Since He is the ultimate abode of all, He is sthanam the basis of all. Since He is the protector of all, He is suhrt the dear most friend.

He is the root cause for the manifestation of existence, He is the avyayam bijam the imperishable seed. Since periodically He terminates all life, He is pralaya the dissolution concluding the end cycle for all created beings as mrtyuh or inevitable death. He is also certainly amritam or immortal and resides within the body sustaining life and distancing death. The Shabda Nirnaya states that: Since the Supreme Lord Krishna possesses in full all auspicious attributes and qualities, He is sat or the eternal unmanifest spirit sat because there is nothing independent from to Him and He is asat as well because there is independent from Him.

In other words, HE IS EVERYTHING, NOTHING IS "NOT OF HIM."And, in Chapter 10 - 19 to 39, He provides more attributes of Himself:

I shall speak to thee now, O best of the Kurus, of My divine attributes, according to their prominence; there is no end to the particulars of My manifestation.

I am the Self, O Gudâkesha, existent in the heart of all beings; I am the beginning, the middle, and also the end of all beings.

Of the Adityas, I am Vishnu; of luminaries, the radiant Sun; of the winds, I am Marichi; of the asterisms, the Moon.

I am the Sâma-Veda of the Vedas, and Vâsava (Indra) of the gods; of the senses I am Manas, and intelligence in living beings am I.

And of the Rudras I am Sankara, of the Yakshas and Râkshasas the Lord of wealth (Kuvera), of the Vasus I am Pâvaka, and of mountains, Meru am I.

And of priests, O son of Prithâ, know Me the chief, Brihaspati; of generals, I am Skanda; of bodies of water, I am the ocean.

Of the great Rishis I am Bhrigu; of words I am the one syllable "Om"; of Yajnas I am the Yajna of Japa (silent repetition); of immovable things the Himâlaya.

Of all trees (I am) the Ashvattha, and Nârada of Deva-Rishis; Chitraratha of Gandharvas am I, and the Muni Kapila of the perfected ones.

Know Me among horses as Uchchaisshravas, Amrita-born; of lordly elephants Airâvata, and of men the king.

Of weapons I am the thunderbolt, of cows I am Kâmadhuk; I am the Kandarpa, the cause of offspring; of serpents I am Vâsuki.

And Ananta of snakes I am, I am Varuna of water-beings; and Aryaman of Pitris I am, I am Yama of controllers.

And Prahlâda am I of Diti's progeny, of measurers I am Time; and of beasts I am the lord of beasts, and Garuda of birds.

Of purifiers I am the wind, Râma of warriors am I; of fishes I am the shark, of streams I am Jâhnavi (the Ganges).

Of manifestations I, am the beginning, the middle and also the end; of all knowledges I am the knowledge of the Self, and Vâda of disputants.

Of letters the letter A am I, and Dvandva of all compounds; I alone am the inexhaustible Time, I the Sustainer (by dispensing fruits of actions) All-formed.

And I am the all-seizing Death, and the prosperity of those who are to be prosperous; of the feminine qualities (I am) Fame, Prosperity (or beauty), Inspiration, Memory, Intelligence, Constancy and Forbearance.

Of Sâmas also I am the Brihat-Sâma, of metres Gâyatri am I; of months I am Mârgashirsha, of seasons the flowery season.

I am the gambling of the fraudulent, I am the power of the powerful; I am victory, I am effort, I am Sattva of the Sâttvika.

Of the Vrishnis I am Vâsudeva; of the Pândavas, Dhananjaya; and also of the Munis I am Vyâsa; of the sages, Ushanas the sage.

Of punishers I am the sceptre; of those who seek to conquer, I am statesmanship; and also of things secret I am silence, and the knowledge of knowers am I.

And whatsoever is the seed of all beings, that also am I, O Arjuna. There is no being, whether moving or unmoving, that can exist without Me.Ram Ram, Deosaran Bisnath

Hari Om

Sadhak Swarupaji ! Welcome! Thoughts are output of a machine called "mind" which is part of body which in turn is part of Prakruti (Nature). They arise based on bhavas (inner sentiments) , which in turn depend upon "ego" (me and mine) of the Jeeva. A change in ego (karta) changes the "bhavas" ! Hence we should not attribute everything to God. God has also given us "viveka" - power to discriminate as well as "independence" to function. Though , ultimately, both inert and sentient belong to Him only, but a sadhak may well draw a distinction first between the two, so that he may renounce inert and establish himself into sentient. Hence it is better that a sadhak presumes that thoughts are not caused by Paramatma as that means wrongly that a human is not independent. God is a disinterested witness most of the time, like self (soul) in a Jeeva! God interferes only upon certain circumstances (e g surrender, bhakta wholly dependent upon Him etc) only. Otherwise, gunas interplay !! All actions/thoughts etc take place in nature only! Both God and Jeeva are beyond Nature!

You may therefore consider that God is "residing" in thoughts but is not "causing" the thoughts. Gunas only are getting consumed in Gunas as ego, intellect, body, mind etc including thoughts, are only part of Prakruti (Gunas) and arise and end in prakruti only.

Such a thing is not possible, but when veil of Avidya becomes too thick,then itis not possible for even a dim light of the soul to come out. This is temporarylike pitch dark in the middle of the night.Verses 8 to 16 of Chapter 16 ofBhagvad=Geeta give a vivid picture of behavioural characteristics of suchpersons. Although God is still present,Divinity gets obscured. Otherwise, 15th.Chapter starts with 'Urdhva Mulam'an assurance that at all times our connectionwith God cannot be snapped.When I read reports about Taliban in Pakistan, sometimes I feel that temporarilyGod has disappeared in them. I pray that they may also get the same Light as weget through our Satsang.Geeta's message is Universal for those who would liketo listen.Jayantilal Shah

----------------------

Jai Shri Hari!Shri Vyas ji is absolutely right that there should not be a place of such question itself as Bhagavaan ji has said "NA ABHAVO VIDYATE SATAH"(2/16), "MATTAH PARATARM NANYAT.." (7/7), "MAYA TADAMIDAM SARVAM GAGAT AVYAKT MURTINA.." (9/4), "..NA TADASTI VINA YATSYAAT MAYA BHOOTAM CHARACHARAM" (10/39), "VISHTABHYAMIDAM KRITSNAM EKAANSHEN STHITO JAGAT" (10/42) etc......If we think about anything, that will be either from his APARA NATURE or from his PARA NATURE who is holding this world (7/4-5). The LINKAGE/IGNORANCE/MAAYA/AVIDYA which we have created ourselves and got entangled by putting ourselves in the domain of APARA (i.e. by giving importance to APARA, the lower nature of God, and not the God) is the place/linkage/granthi where God does not reside. This is the thing for which God says "NA TU AHAM TESHHU" in Shloka 7/12 (i.e. I am not in them). As long as we use this lens/linkage/ignorance to see (GO GOCHAR JAHAN MAN LAGI JAAYI | SO SAB MAAYA JAANEHU BHAI - MAANAS) the God, we will not be able to understand "VAASUDEV SARVAM ITI" .Jai Shri HariNiteesh Dubey

Ram Ram all Sadhakas who are replied below:

Mike Keenor : please quote 'what is not God' from Gita. Verse 7 - 14 says about illusion which is also God's hence it IS God.

B. satyanarayanan : Chapter 16 of Gita, none of the 24 verses say 'what is NOT God'. Please quote from Gita 'What is NOT God/Bhagawaan/Paramaatmaa. Deosaran Bisnath : You have said what is TRUE. There exists nothing that is not God. But the quoted verses 9 - 16 to 19, 10 - 19 to 39 donot say anything about 'what is not God'. Please quote from Gita 'what is not God/Bhagawaan/Paramaatmaa'. Vyas NB : There exists nothing but God. This is the only TRUTH. Request is 'Please quote from Gita saying 'what is NOT God/Bhagawaan/Paramaatmaa'.

Humble Request to Gita-Talk Moderators : Kindly let Sadhakas not only read and interpret Gita but to 'live Gita' which is the very purpose of verses 19 of chapter 7 and 66 of chapter 18 as emphasized by Swamijee. Where this pursuit for 'what is NOT God' ends Sadhaka lives in what is IS.

NamasteExtremely commendable effort to link Gita 7-19:"At the end of many births, the man of wisdom takes refuge in Me, realising that all this is VÃ¢sudeva (the innermost Self). Very rare is that great soul."with Gita 18-66:

"Relinquishing all Dharmas take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee from all sins; grieve not."

I thought Gita 11-40 may also be included:"Salutation to Thee before and behind, salutation to Thee on every side, O All! Thou, infinite in power and infinite in prowess, pervadest all; wherefore Thou art All."I look forward to the informative and divine discussions on this, and other topics.Ram Ram Deosaran Bisnath
