Āśraya· The supreme shelterKṛṣṇa Is Everywhere and Never Covered
“Just as the same material elements exist within and outside of all material bodies, similarly, I cannot be covered by anything else. I exist within everything as the Supersoul and outside of everything in My all-pervading feature.”
What the purport teaches
- Lord Kṛṣṇa exists within everything as the Supersoul and outside everything in His all-pervading feature. Nothing can cover Him.
- His presence within everything does not mean that He is divided into pieces. Nothing can interrupt, disturb or infringe upon His supreme existence.
- Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the entire basis of meditation for all yogīs and philosophers. He is all-pervading and the ultimate perfection of everything.
