Śrī Kṛṣṇa Oversees Every Living Being
“You oversee the wanderings of all living beings. For this reason also, You are the primeval Lord Nārāyaṇa.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Kṛṣṇa, in His Paramātmā feature, lives in the hearts of all living beings in both the transcendental and mundane creations.
- He witnesses actions in the past, present and future. Knowing past births and present actions, He knows the results that will come in the future.
- The entire cosmic situation is created when He glances over the material energy, and nothing exists without His superintendence. Since He sees even the abode where the collective living beings rest, He is the original Nārāyaṇa.
