THE YOGA OF DIVINE GLORIES

 

VIBHUTI YOGA

 

The Blessed Lord said, " With thier minds wholly in Me, with their

life absorbed in Me, enlightening each other and ever speaking of

Me,

the wise are satisfied and delighted (9). To them ever steadfast,

worshipping Me with love, I give the Yoga of discrimination by which

they come to Me (10). Out of mere compassion for them, I, dwelling

within their self, destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the

luminous lamp of knowledge " (11).

 

Arjuna said, " O Lord! Thou shouldst indeed tell, without reserve

of

Thy divine glories by which Thou existeth pervading all these

worlds " (16).

 

The Blessed Lord said " I am the Self, O Gudakesa! seated in the

hearts of all beings; I am the beginning, the middle, and also the

end

of all beings (20). Among the twelve Adityas, I am Vishnu, among

luminous objects, the radiant Sun; I am Marichi among the forty nine

Maruts; among the starts the Moon am I (21). Among the Vedas I am

the

Sama Veda; I am Vasava (Indra) among the Gods: among the senses I am

the mind; and I am the intelligence among living beings (22). And

among Rudras, I am Sankara; among Yakshas and Rakshasas, the Lord of

wealth (Kubera); among the Vasus I am Pavaka (Agni); and among the

(Seven) mountains I am the Meru (23). Among the household priests

(of

kings) O Partha! know Me to be the Chief, Brihaspati, among generals

I

am Skanda; among lakes I am the Ocean (24). Among the great Rishis,

I

am Bhrigu; among words I am the one syllable OM; among sacrifices I

am

the sacrifice of silent repetition (Japa Yagna); among immovable

things, the Himalayas (25). Among the trees I am the Asvattha;

among

divine Rishis Narada; among Gandharvas Chitraratha; among the

perfected ones Muni Kapila (26).

 

" Of purifiers I am the wind; Rama of warriors am I; among fishes

I am the shark; among streams I am the Ganga (31). Among letters

the " A " , I am, and the dual among all compounds; I am verily the

inexhaustible or everlasting Time; I am the dispenser of fruits of

actions having faces in all directions (33). I am the gambling of

cheat; I am the splendour of the splendid; I am victory I am

determination of those who are determined; I am the goodness of the

good (36). There is no end of My Divine Glories O Parantapa; but

this is brief statement of My divine attributes " (40).
