Therefore, this ever-changing universe and everything in this ever-changing universe the ap]rõ p ýäëit] ap]rõ p ýäëitw of p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r, is pervaded by the neverchanging, ever- existent, all-inclusive p]rõ p ýäëit] p]rõ p ýäëitw The Unmanifest Form of p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r. m]tståin] s]v]*b½tåin] n] cåhõ\ tàs av]ist]tù m]tståinw s]rv]*b½tåinw n] cåhõ\ tàs av]istwtù - While all beings in this creation have their abode in ME, The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r, I am not confined to any of them, because, I am both Inside and Outside of all of them n] c] m]tståin] B½tÅin] n] c] m]tståinw B½tÅinw, p]xy] mà yçg]mðìv]rõm]/ p]xy] mà yçg]mðìv]rõm /- In fact, all beings in this creation are NOT in ME, they are Myself only; they have no existence apart from Myself The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r.

In today s verses, Sri Krishna explains these verses further. y]tåä x]ist]tç in]ty]\ våy : s]v]*ˆ]gç m]h n]/ y]tåä x]ist]tç in]ty]\ våy : s]v]*ˆ]gç m]h n/ t]tå s]vå*in] B½tÅin], m]tståin] wit] [p]dååry] 9-6 t]tå s]vå*in] B½tÅin], m]tståin] wit] [p]dååry] wit] [p]dårõy] witw [p]dårõy] - Arjuna, please understand this clearly what? y]tå in]ty]\ våy : s]v]*ˆ]gç m]h n]/ y]tå inwty]\ våy : s]rv]*ˆ]gç m]h n/ Bhagvat Gita 25

The illustration here is simply to point out that tmå tmå is as]\gù as]\gù. The tmå tmå The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r The p]rõ p ýäëit] p]rõ p ýäëitw The s]t]/ ic]t]/ n]ndõ sv]ðp] aü]rõ b ýàõn]/ s]t/ icwt/ n]nd sv]ðp aü]rõ b ýàõn/ is as]\gù as]\gù - is unconnected, uninvolved and unassociated with all the happenings in Its ap]rõ p ýäëit] ap]rõ p ýäëitw, wdõ\ s]v]*m]/ j]g]t]/ wdõ\ s]rv]*m/ j]g]t/ with all beings in this entire creation When B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n says m]tståin] s]v]*b½tåin] m]tståinw s]rv]* B½tÅinw - all beings exist in Me, B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n is talking about the period of time when beings exist and are being sustained in this creation. This is ist]it] ä l] istwitw ä l. There are three ä l]s ä l]s - periods of time for any created being, namely, x³isqõ x³isqw, ist]it] istwitw and l]y] l]y] the periods of creation, sustenance and dissolution. When I wake up in the morning, there is x³isqõ x³isqw creation; when I am awake and active, there is ist]it] stwitw sustenance, and when I go to sleep, there is l]y] l]y] - dissolution. If these concepts are extended cosmically to the entire creation, then, we Bhagvat Gita 26

5 have the x³isqõ x³isqw, ist]it] stwitw and l]y] l]y] or p l]õy] ä l] p al]y] ä l] for the entire creation. If the created beings exist in p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r during ist]it] ä l] stwitw ä l] period of sustenance, where did they exist before creation, and where will they exist on dissolution? The answer is, they exist in p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r only, both before creation, and on dissolution, just as: -the pot came from clay -the pot exists in clay, and -the pot goes back to clay ultimately That is essentially what B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n says in the next verse. s]v]*b½tåin] äontày] p ýäëit]m]/ yåint] måim]ä m]/ s]rv]*b½tåinw äontày] p ýäëitwm/ yåint] måim]ä m/ äýlp]ü]yà p n]ståin] äýlpådo iv]s³jåmy]hõm]/ 9-7 äýlp]ü]yà p n]ståin] äýlpådo ivws³jåmy]hõm/ s]v]*b½tåin] s]rv]*b½tåinw, måim]ä m]/ p ýäëit]m]/ yåint] måimwä m/ p ýäëitwm/ yåintw, äýlp]ü]yà äýlp]ü]yà äontày] äontày] O!

6 The created world came from MY måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw, has its existence in My måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw, and on dissolution merges back into My måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw B]g]vÅn]/ s måyå p ýäëit] B]gvÅn's måyå p ýäëitw is where the created world resolves. The inherent power of b ýàõn]/ b ýàõn/is måyå måyå; måyå måyå has no existence apart from b ýàõn]/ b ýàõn. /If we look at b ýàõn]/ b ýàõn/ as the cause of this creation, then there is måyå måyå. From the standpoint of b ýàõn]/ b ýàõn/ Itself, there is no måyå måyå, there is ONLY b ýàõn]/ b ýàõn. That is why Sri Krishna can say: m]tståin] s]v]*b½tåin] m]tståinw s]rv]*b½tåinw All beings exist in ME n] c] m]tståin] B½tÅin] n] c] m]tståinw B½tÅinw All beings are NOT in ME, they are Myself only In the next verse, B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n points out that He is the Efficient cause the in]im] ] ä rõn]\ inwimw ] ä rõn]\, for this creation through His inherent Power måyå måyå, which is the Material Cause the [påd n] ä rõn]\ [påd n] ä rõn]\ for this creation. p ýäëit]m]/ svå\ av]sqõby] iv]s³jåim] p nù p nù p ýäëit]m]/ svå\ av]sqõby] iv]s³jåimw p nù p nù B½t]g m]\ wm]\ äëtsn]\ av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt]/ 9-8 B½t]g m]\ wm]\ äëtsn]\ av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt/ svå\ p ýäëit]m]/ svå\ p ýäëitwm means måim]ä m]/ p ýäëit]m]/ måimwä m/ p ýäëit]m/ My ap]rõ p ýäëit] ap]rõ p ýäëitw or måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw, also called måyå [påid] måyå [påidw My Vehicle of måyå måyå Power p ýäëit]m]/ svå\ av]sqõby] p ýäëitwm/ svå\ av]sqõby] - Keeping the Vehicle of My måyå måyå Power under My Own Control That is the difference between individual jæv]s jæv]s and p]rõmàìv]r p]rõmàìv]r. p]rõmàìv]r p]rõmàìv]r keeps His måyå måyå Power under His own control; whereas, the individual jæv]s jæv]s come under the spell of His måyå måyå Power. Bhagvat Gita 28

7 Therefore, p ýäëit]m]/ svå\ av]sqõby] p ýäëit]m/ svå\ av]sqõby] means wielding My own inherent måyå måyå Power, and keeping it totally under My control iv]s³jåim] p nù p nù iv]s³jåimw p nù p nù - I create (this entire universe) again and again, at the beginning of each cycle of creation. There is no division between Myself and My inherent power to create, through the måyå [påid] måyå [påidw the Vehicle of måyå måyå. While My p]rõ p ýäëit] p]rõ p ýäëitw The s]ty]\ s]ty]\/, #Ån]\ #Ån]\, an]nt]\ b ýàõn]/ an]nt]\ b ýàõn is independent of my iˆ]g Nå]]itm]ä måyå p ýäëit] î wg NaåitmwämÅyÅ p ýäëitw, the måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw is not independent of ME. Therefore, I am both the in]im] ] ä rõn]\ in]imw ] ä rõn]\ the Efficient Cause (the instrumental cause) as well as the [påd n]õ ä rõn]\ [påd n] ä rõn]\ the Material Cause for this creation. Being so, iv]s³jåim] p nù p nù ivws³jåimw p nù p nù I create again and again, at the beginning of each cycle. I create what? B½t]g m]\ wm]\ äëtsn]\ B½t]g m]\ wm]\ äëtsn]\ means wdõ\ s]m]st] B t]s]m d y]\ wdõ\ s]m]st] B t]s]m d y]\ - this entire society of beings, as they are in this creation. Why do I create these beings? av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt]/ av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt/, svåbåvåt]/ svåbåvåt/- The very nature of iˆ]g Nå]]itm]ä måyå î wg Naåitmwä måyå is to create, through the interaction of the g N]s g Nas. av]x]\ av]x]\ indicates the necessity the inevitability av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt]/ av]x]\ p ýäëtà: v]xåt/ - creation has to take place, and it takes place inevitably, because the entire B½t] s]m d y] B½t] s]m d y] all beings in this creation are under the spell of the three måyå g N]s måyå g Nas, their combinations and interactions. Consequently, all beings are under the spell of their own aiv] ä m] äým]* doså aivw ä m] äýrm]* doså, meaning their ignorance of the true nature of Existence, and their own p Ny] påp] äým]**s p Ny] påp] äýrm]**s D]m]* ad]m]* äým]*s D]rm]* ad]rm]* äýrm]*s, and it becomes inevitable for them to go through cycles of existence, to experience the fruit of their own actions, until finally they redeem themselves through gaining tm]#ån]\ tm] #Ån]\ Self-Knowledge. Since the äým]*s äýrm]*s of beings are many and varied, so are the differences in the nature of the beings in this creation. Thus, while p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r is the ultimate cause of all Existence including the existence of every being in this creation, it is only Bhagvat Gita 29

8 one s own ignorance about the true nature of oneself, and the results of one s own p Ny], påp] äým]*s p Ny] påp] äýrm]**s D]m]*, ad]m]* äým]*s D]rm]* ad]rm]* äýrm]*s, and p ý]rõbd] äým]*s p ý]rõbd] äýrm]*s which account for one s current existence, as one is. If so, how do the äým]*s äýrm]**s of the individuals in this creation affect p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r? B]g]vÅn]/ B]gvÅn /says, in the next verse: n] c] må\ tåin] äýmå*in] in]b]d ]int] D]n] õy] n] c] må\ tåin] äýmå*in] in]b]d ]int] D]n] õy] [d sæn]v]t]/ sæn]\ as] \ tàs äým]*s 9-9 [d sæn]v]t]/ sæn]\ as] \ tàs äým]*s D]n] õy] D]n] õy]- O!

The all-pervasive, ever-present tmå tmå is like a witness to all actions which take place in one s body-mind-intellect complex all actions in terms of thought, word and deed. It is also as] \ as] a\ not involved in the äým]* äýrm]** in any way. tmå tmå has no sense of äýt³*tv]\ äýt³*tv]\ and Bç &tv]\ Bç &tv]\ Doership or Enjoyership in the äým]**s äýrm]**s of the beings involved in the creation tmå tmå has neither ýl] s]\g] ýl] s]\g] or aib]mån] s]\g] aibwmån] s]\g] in all the äým]*s äýrm]**s of the jæv]s jæv]s. tmå tmå has neither Bhagvat Gita 30

9 attachment to the fruits of actions, nor has any notion of Doership for the actions involved. The same holds true with respect to the x³isqõ x³isqõ, ist]it] istwitw, l]y] äým]*s l]y] äýrm]**s the actions of creation, sustenance and dissolution involved in every cycle of creation. Such actions do not bind p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r at all, because, in all those äým]*s äýrm]**s, p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r is [d sæn]v]t]/ [d sæn]v]t /- uninvolved, unattached, unchanging, ever-present witness. By the very presence of p]rõmàìv]r p]rõmàìv]r, the måyå [påid] måyå [påidw is alive and active, and thereby all activities in this creation take place, naturally and inevitably. All such activities and their results belong entirely to the jæv]s jæv]s who consider themselves as doers and enjoyers of their äým]*s äýrm]**s and äým]* ýl]s äýrm] ýl]s**. Therefore, from the point of view of the beings in this creation, B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n can say I perform the actions of x³isqõ x³isqw, ist]it] istwitw and l]y] l]y], through My måyå [påid] måyå [påidw.since måyå [påid] måyå [påidw Itself is non-separate from p]rõmàìv]r p]rõmàìv]r, from the point of view of His own SELF, B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n can also say I perform no action. In this connection, let us briefly recall what Sri Krishna said in Chapter 4, in the context of #Ån]-äým]*-s]\nyÅs] yçg] #Ån]-äýrm]*-s]nyÅs] yçg] n] må\ äýmå*in] il]mp]int] n] mà äým]* ýlà sp³h n] må\ äýmå*in] il]mp]int] n] mà äým]* ýlà sp³h wit] må\ yç aib]jånåit], äým]*ibù n] s] b]dy]tà 4-14 witw må\ yç aib]jånåit], äým]*ibù n] s] b]dy]tà The äým]*s äýrm]**s in this creation do not touch Me at all. They do not taint Me in any way, because, there is no notion of Doership or Enjoyership in ME for such äým]*s äýrm]**s. I am the Law of all laws, governing all actions in this creation. There is no äým]* äýrm] involved on My part. Every jæv] jæv] is endowed with a Free Will. With this Free Will, whatever äým]* äýrm]* a jæv] jæv] does, äým]* ýl] äýrm]* ýl] the fruit of action occurs inevitably, automatically without any action on My part. Bhagvat Gita 31

10 One s g N] g N] is the result of one s own äým]* äýrm]. In this g N] g N], äým]* äýrm]**, iv]båg] ivwbåg the nature of one s g N] g N] at birth, and its continuing changes because of the succession of one s äým]*s äýrm]**s and äým]* ýl]s äýrm] * ýl]s, p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r remains untouched either by the äým]*s äýrm]**s or by the äým]* ýl]s äýrm]* ýl]s. Therefore we cannot, and we need not, blame p]rõmàìv]r p]rõmàìv]r õ for our g N]s g N]s at any time. They are our own making. We can, and we must, upgrade our g N]s g N]s by our own efforts, through #Ån]äým]*s]\nyÅs] yçg] #Ån] äýrm] *s]nyås] yçg] which is same as #Ån]-l]Ü]N] B]i yçg] #Ån]-l]Ü]N] B]i w yçg]. B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n says further the one who recognizes one s identity with My True Nature, the one who realizes jæv] wìv]rõ ky]\ jæv] wìv]rõ ky]\, the one who is totally free from any sense of Doership or Enjoyership in all actions in this creation, that person is not bound by actions; that person is as Free as Myself, The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r. The relationship between the Actionless p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r and the Actionfull måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw which is non-separate from p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r needs to be understood. It is just like the relationship between the actionless Sun in the sky, and the creative power of the Sun s rays which are non-separate from the Sun itself. B]g]vÅn]/ B]gv]n explains this relationship in this manner: m]yådy]üàn] p ýäëitù s½y]tà s]c]r c]rõm]/ m]yådy]üàn] p ýäëitù s½y]tà s]c]r c]rõm/ het nå an]en] äontày] j]g]t]/ iv]p]irõv]t]*tà 9-10 het nå an]en] äontày] j]g]t]/ iv]p]irõv]t]*tà m]yå ady]üàn] m]yå ady]üàn] - Under My overlordship, being under My control, presided over by ME, The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r, owing its creative power entirely to ME, The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r p ýäëit]: p ýäëitwh - the måyå p ýäëit] måyå p ýäëitw, måyå [påid] måyå [påidw Bhagvat Gita 32

No activity takes place without being presided over by Pure consciousness, Which is Myself, The p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r. Yet, I myself do not perform any action. In My presence, by My presence all actions take place in this creation, and the creation itself revolves around such actions. Thus the connection between p]rõmàìv]rõ p]rõmàìv]r and j]g]t]/ is an Extraordinary ONE.
