Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 Verse 14 Vivekavani

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 Verse 13 Vivekavani The answer is he is everywhere. this verse states the ‘saguna’ aspect of brahman, the all pervasive cosmic intelligence, the basis and foundation by which the whole of the manifested universe is sustained. sarvam avritya tishtati: brahman pervades all the universe. what pervades all should be more than the universe that is pervaded. The aim is to transcend the three gunas and reach atma. devotion to the lord, prayer meditation and good work, – all these are essential factors in sadhana. by these, the tamasic and rajasic tendencies are eliminated from the mind. sattva is purity. this state is very near to atma, and so to come up to the plane of sattva is the first.

Who does not hate any being, who is friendly and compassionate, who is free from attachment and egoism, who is equal minded in sorrow and happiness, who is forgiving, who is always contented, steady in meditation, who is self controlled and firm in conviction, who has surrendered his mind and intellect in me, he (such a devotee) is dear to me.
