| Nature, The Enjoyer, And Consciousness |
I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. This is beginningless, and it is subordinate to Me. It is called Brahman, the spirit, and it lies beyond the cause and effect of this material world.
Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes and faces, and He hears everything. In this way the Supersoul exists.
The Supersoul is the original source of all senses, yet He is without senses. He is unattached, although he is the maintainer of all living beings. He transcends the modes of nature, and at the same time He is the master of all modes of material nature.
The Supreme Truth exists both internally and externally, in the moving and nonmoving. He is beyond the power of the material senses to see or to know. Although far, far away, He is also near to all.
Although the Supersoul appears to be divided, He is never divided. He is situated as one. Although he is the maintainer of every living entity, it is to be understood that he devours and develops all.
He is the source of light in all-luminous objects. He is beyond the darkness of matter and is unmanifested. He is knowledge, He is the object of knowledge, and he is the goal of knowledge. He is situated in everyone's heart. | |
