Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 7
Appendix:—God is manifest and also unmanifest; He is worldly as well as unworldly—'Vasudevah sarvam' (Gita 7/19), `sadasaccahamarjuna' (Gita 9/19). But men, who lack understanding, think of God as manifested from the unmanifest like other beings viz., regard Him as worldly (who is born and dead) for whom the Lord has said- avyaktadinibhutani vyaktamadhyani bharata '0 Bharata (Arjuna), all beings were imperceptible before they were born and will become so again when they are dead; they are perceptible only in the intermediate stage. Therefore why to lament?' God like comman human beings is not manifest from the unmanifest, but at the same time being unmanifest, He manifests Himself and being manifest, He remains unmanifest. Param:—God endows the worshippers of deities with faith and also rewards them for their worship—this is God's supreme viz., impartial attitude. Avyayam:—Deities are relatively imperishable (immortal), they are not totally imperishable. But God is absolutely imperishable. Anyone else neither is nor can be imperishable like Him. Anuttamam:—God wants the welfare of all beings—this is the unexcelled feeling of the Lord. No other feeling can be superior to it.
