"I will declare that which ought to be known, that which being known immortality is

enjoyed- the beginningless supreme Brahman, called neither Being nor Not-Being.

“Everywhere THAT has hands and fect, everywhere eyes, heads and mouths; all hearing,
He dwelleth in the world, enveloping all;

"Shining with all sense-faculties, without any sense; unattached, supporting everything;
and free from qualities, enjoying qualities.

“Without and within all beings, immovables and also movable; by a reason of his subtlety
indistinguishable; at hand and far away is THAT.

"Not divided amid beings and yet seated distributively. THAT is to be known as the
supporter of beings; He devours and He generates.
THAT, the Light of all lights, is said to be beyond darkness; wisdom, the object of
wisdom, by wisdom to be reached, seated in the hearts of all."

*Bhagavad Gita, xiii-13-18

आसीदिदं तमोभूतमप्रज्ञातमलक्षणम्।
अप्रतर्क्यमविज्ञेयं प्रसुप्तमिव सर्वतः ॥५॥
ततः स्वयंभूर्भगवानव्यक्तो व्यञ्जयन्निदम्।
महाभूतादि वृत्तोजाः प्रादुरासीत् तमोनुदः ॥६॥
योऽसावतीन्द्रियग्राह्यः सूक्ष्मोऽव्यक्तः सनातनः।
सर्वभूतमयोऽचिन्त्यः स एव स्वयमुद्बभौ ||७||*

This was in the form of Darkness, unknown, without marks [or homogeneous],
unattainable by reasoning, unknowable, wholly, as it were, in sleep.

"Then the self-Existent, the Lord, unmanifest, (but) making manifest. This-the great
elements and the rest-appeared with mighty power, Dispeller of Darkness.
"He who can be grasped by that which is beyond the senses, subtle unminifest, ancient,
containing all beings, inconceivable, even He Himself shone forth."

अहमात्मा गुडाके श सर्वभूताशयस्थितः ।

अहमादिश्च मध्यं च भूतानामन्त एव च ॥२०॥ +

"I, O Gudakesha, am the SELF, seated in the heart of all beings; I am the beginning, the
middle, and also the end of all beings. "
