Āśraya· The supreme shelterThe Lord Within Remains Untouched
“Please also explain the Personality of Godhead, who lies in every heart as the Supersoul, and as the Lord of all energies, but is untouched by His external energy.”
What the purport teaches
- The Personality of Godhead lies in every heart as the Supersoul. He is also the Lord of all energies.
- The Lord’s form seen by Brahmā must be transcendental. He can look upon the creative energy without being touched by it.
- The same Lord lies in the heart of every living entity. How He does so while remaining untouched requires proper explanation.
