The splendour of the sun, which dissipates the darkness of this whole world, comes from Me. And the splendour of the moon and splendour of fire are also from Me.
I enter into each planet, and by My energy the stay in orbit. I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables.
I am the fire of digestion in every living body, and I am the air of life, outgoing and incoming, by which I digest the four kinds of foodstuff.
I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas I am to be known indeed I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.
There are two classes of beings, the fallible and the infallible. In the material world every entity is fallible, and in the spiritual world every entity is called infallible.
Besides these two, there is the greatest living personality, the Lord Himself, who has entered into these worlds and is maintaining them.
Because I am transcendental, beyond both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest, I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person.
Whoever knows Me as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without doubting, is to be understood as the knower of everything, and he therefore engages himself in full devotional service, O son of Bharata.
This is the most confidential part of the Vedic scriptures, O sinless one, and it is disclosed now by Me. Whoever understands this will become wise and his endeavors will know perfection." | |
