Āśraya· The supreme shelterSeeing Everything in Relation to Kṛṣṇa
“Because he has realized Me, a brāhmaṇa is firmly fixed in the knowledge that everything moving and nonmoving in the universe, and also the primary elements of its creation, are all manifest forms expanded from Me.”
What the purport teaches
- A brāhmaṇa who has realized Kṛṣṇa is firmly fixed in knowledge of Him.
- He understands that everything moving and nonmoving in the universe consists of manifest forms expanded from Kṛṣṇa.
- He also sees the primary elements of creation as expansions from Kṛṣṇa. His understanding includes both the universe and the elements from which it is formed.
Try this today
Notice one moving and one nonmoving thing today, and remember that both have their source in Kṛṣṇa.
Ask yourself
How might remembering that everything expands from Kṛṣṇa change the way I view my surroundings?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
