Chapter 9
- The Lord declares-
ahamevasamevagre nanyad yat sadasat param
pascadaham yadetacca yo'vasisyet so'smyaham
($nmadbht. 2/9/32)
'Before the creation I was present, there was noting else besides Me and after the creation whatever this world appears, I am also that. The real, the unreal and that which can be beyond both the real and the unreal, I am that also, and when the creation is destroyed, whatever remains, I am also that.'
The body, senses, mind, intellect and ego etc., all is God. For example if we think of Haridwara (with the mind), the mind appears as the immovable objects such as 'Hari lei paid' and the clock tower etc., and the mind appears as the movable objects such as the Ganges, the sailing fish and the bathing persons, viz., the mind became both—the movable and the immovable objects. Similarly the real is God and me unreal is also God.
From our point of view there are two divisions—the real and the unreal, therefore the Lord has used the expression—'sadasa ccaham' in order to explain it to us, otherwise from me Lord's point of view, there is nothing else besides Him. If we perceive even from the topmost philosophical point of view, we find that there is only one entity. Two entities are not possible at all. A man is deluded when he accepts the other entity (Gita 7/13). Attachment and aversion -also ensue by assuming (accepting) the other entity.
