Chapter-13.  ( Kshetra-kshetrajna-vibhaga-yogam )

Slokam- 14.
----------------------------------------------------------
sarvatah   panipadam   tat  sarvatokshisiromukham,

 sarvatah  srutimalloke  sarvamavrtya  tishtati.
----------------------------------------------------------

 Word by meaning:-

sarvatah   pani-padam  = hands  and  legs  everywhere;

sarvatah  akshi-sirah-mukham  =  and  eyes,  heads,  faces  ( mouths),  everywhere;

sarvatah  srutimat  tat  =  ears  everywhere,  withh  all  these  (  as  mentioned  above  two  lines ),  the  'Brahmam';

loke  sarvam  avrtya  =  covering  everywhere  in  the  world  ( spread  in  all  things,  all  over  the  world );

tishtati  =  exists.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUM :-(Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes and faces, and He hears everything. In this way the Paramatma exists.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discussion-5.

he question may arise that if the brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence is neither existing or non-existing then there seems to be a contradiction with Vedic scriptures such as the Chandogya Upanisad III.XIV.I which state: Everything is nothing but the brahman and the Narasingha Upanisad VII.III which state : -

"All this is nothing but the brahman. Apprehending such doubts the nature and qualities of the brahman are revealed by Lord Krishna as being omnipresent, with heads, faces, eyes, ears, hands and feet everywhere."

This manifests through the inconceivable potency and incomprehensible power of the Supreme Lord as confirmed in the Svetavastara Upanisad VI.VIII which states : -

"The Supreme Lords transcendental power is unlimited and manifold and His knowledge, strength and action are inherent within Himself. The Supreme Lord who manifesting in all jivas or embodied beings has head, faces, eyes, ears, hands and feet everywhere is pervading everything in creation and is the basis of all activity as these selfsame organs of perception and locomotion belong to all beings."

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...
