Gita : Ch-10. Slo-8.

-


Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :


Chapter-10. ( Vibhuthi -yogam )


Slokam-8. ( I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.)


aham   sarvasya   prabhavah  mattah   sarvam   pravartate,



iti  matva   bhajante   mam  budha   bhavasamanvitah.



aham   sarvasya  =  I  (am)  of  all;

prabhavah  =   source  of  origin / generation / manifestation;

sarvam  mattah  =  everything  are  from  Me;

pravartate  =  emanates /  germinates/ born / created;

iti  matva  budha   =  knowing  about  all  these,  as  such,  learned / scholar / wise / intelligent  people;

bhava-samanvitah  =  with  greatest  devotion / attention /sraddha;

mam  bhajante  =  becomes  devoted  unto  Me.



Lord Krishna expresses the immense devotion the great illuminated beings who matva or have realised His Supreme Absolute position and incomparable glories as the Ultimate Reality, the Ultimate Truth and the Ultimate Personality controlling all beings in all existences.

He the sole object to be known and the goal o all knowledge.

He is recognisable through external identifying manifestations such as the cause of creation, the origin of all living entities , the source of all existence etc.

He is the prime cause of all created beings and all things sentient and insentient, movable and immovable.

He also monitors the ascent and descent of all beings through higher and lower planetary species and up and down into higher and lower species of life including their internal growth and evolution.

Everything is manifested, energised and activated because of Lord Krishna's desire alone and the spiritually intelligent realising this continuously worship Him fully with devotion and love.


.Thorough and complete knowledge of the Supreme Lord Krishna's absolute power and glory bequeaths direct realisation of Him in their etheric heart.

This is being expounded on in this slokam and the next three.

Lord Krishna begins with the words aham sarvasya prabhavo meaning He is the Supreme Ultimate Truth and the cause of all causes.

By His vibhutis or transcendental opulence everything in the material manifestation emanated solely from Him. So spiritually intelligent beings endowed with the germinating seed of bhakti or loving devotion, worship Lord Krishna incessantly with mind, heart and actions.


Lord Krishna uses the word matva meaning realisation of His Supreme Absolute position inspires one to perform bhajante mam or perform loving devotion unto Him.

This clears up any and all misconceptions regarding the presence of individuality with the Supreme Lord.


 This confirms that Lord Krishna is the generating cause and origin of the all the wonderfully, marvellous and fascinatingly phenomenal displays of activity found abounding in all creation comprised of intelligent and non- intelligent beings and objects.

He alone energises all of creation and manifests the impulses required for all actions.

The spiritually intelligent are the mahatmanas or great illuminated beings who matva or realise His Supreme Absolute position as the ultimate controller of all existence.

Who possesses all illustrious attributes such as compassion, affection, reciprocity, friendship, etc.

These great beings are bhava- samanvitah or endowed with a wonderful way of serving Lord Krishna in bhakti or exclusive loving devotion according to their internal mood.

The spiritually intelligent cultivate their minds in such a way as to acquire this mood and deeply immerse themselves in it.

How this is accomplished Lord Krishna reveals next.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p...

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is...
