Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 4.13.7
Mukti· LiberationSee the Supersoul in Every Heart
“From his very birth, Utkala was fully satisfied and unattached to the world. He was equipoised, for he could see everything resting in the Supersoul and the Supersoul present in everyone’s heart.”
What the purport teaches
- From birth, Utkala was satisfied, unattached and equipoised. These are characteristics of a mahā-bhāgavata, a highly advanced devotee.
- Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, pervades the universe in His impersonal feature. Everything rests on Him, but this does not mean that everything is He Himself.
- An advanced devotee sees the same Supersoul, Paramātmā, in everyone’s heart, beyond differences of material form. Such vision is possible through advanced love of Godhead.
