Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 7
Appendix:—In the sixth and seventh verses the Lord has mentioned that He is the cause of the entire creation. Therefore now the Lord describes His divine glories in the form of 'cause' from the eighth verse to the twelfth verse. Though the effect has special characteristic which is not found in the cause, yet the cause has its independent existence viz., without cause the effect has no independent existence. As earth (clay) is the cause and jar is its effect. Water can be filled in a jar but this characteristic is not found in the earth. But without earth (clay) a jar has no independent existence. It means that the cause is changed into effect. In making a jar, the doer, the material (cause) and the effect—the three are not one viz., the cause (clay) and the effect (jar) are of one class but the doer (potter) has his different (independent) existence. But in creating the universe the doer, the material and the effect—these three are only God. Therefore sapidity is also God and water is also God. Radiance is also God and the moon and the sun are also God. 'Om' is also God and the Veda is also God. Sound is also God and ether is also God. Manliness is also God and man is also God.
