(228) Aavartanah -One who is the Unseen Dynamism behind the ever-

whirling wheel-of time upon which play the endless drama of birth and

death. The repetition (Aavartanam) of these changes is the experience

of Samsaar, and the One mighty Lord, in whose presence alone the

factors of matter start their thrilled dance of decay, is indicated

here (Aavartanah) as " the Great Power behind the continuity of change

in the world of phenomena " . In the Geeta, Bhagavan says, " O Arjuna,

the Lord dwells in the heart of all, and spins, through His Maayaa,

all layers of personal ties as though the universe is a complicated

machinery. "
