Chapter 14
Link:—Describing the Lord, as formless and endowed with attributes, in the preceding verse, in the next three verses, there is a description of His singularity (transcendent character), all-pervasiveness and omnipotence.
sarvendriyagunabhasarit sarvendriyavivarjitam
asaktatir sarvabhrccaiva nirgunath gunabhoktr ca
He (God), though without all senses, is the perceiver of all sense-objects, unattached yet sustains all, unpossessive of gums (attributes), yet enjoys them. 14
Comment:-
Sarvendriyagunabhasam sarvendriyavivarjitam:- There is pre-existence of God; then there is His power, prakrti (matter). The evolute of matter is Mahattattva (Cosmic intelligence), an evolute of cosmic intelligence, is cosmic ego, and the evolutes of ego, are five gross elements, while the evolutes of five gross elements, are mind and ten senses. The evolutes of ten senses, are five objects of senses—all these are the evolutes of cosmic Nature. But God transcends, prakrti and its evolutes, whether He is attributeless or endowed with attributes, whether He is formless, or with form. He transcends prakrti, even when He incarnates. In that case, He manifests Himself, keeping prakrti under His control.
How can God, be bound by gunas (modes) (attributes), when even an embodied soul, by attaining God transcends gunas? He is ever transcendent in character, He has no hands, feet, eyes etc., like other living beings, but He is capable of perceiving the objects of senses.[1] He listens to the call of His devotees, even without ears, embraces His devotees without skin, beholds beings without eyes, tastes articles of food, offered by His devotees, without tongue, runs to help His devotees, without feet and so on.
Asaktam sarvabhreraiva:- God loves, all beings, without having attachment for them, unlike worldly parents, who support their family with attachment, He supports and nourishes all the beings, throughout the entire universe, either on the earth, in the ocean or in ether or in heaven, in a better way without any attachment and provides necessities for them.
