Constituting My body as they do, they ever abide in Me[4. Cp: ‘tasmin lok\u0101s-srit\u0101s sarve tadun\u0101tyeti ka\u015bchana’.

But in My case, I am never dependent on body; never is there any purpose served Me by the things (in which I dwell). That I so order things, has no other purpose save that it is My will and pleasure; in other words, it is My sport (l\u012bl\u0101<\/em>[5. 3.
