Chapter 9<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 9 verse 4<\/a><\/p>\n na cha mathsthAni bhUthAni paSya mE yOgam aiSvaram |<\/em> mathsthAni na cha – they are not in me (like water is held by pot physically, but they are held [easily] through my will) (What is that?) They are not in me (like water is held by pot physically, but they are held [easily] through my will); behold my sankalpa (divine will), the opulence of ISvara, i.e., mine. I am the one who holds all creatures and yet not held by the creatures [like I hold them]; my sankalpam only is the reason for their existence, sustenance and control.<\/p>\n When bhagavAn says “they are not in me”, it does not mean that the entities are not in him. Of course bhagavAn is the resting place for everyone. But he is saying “unlike I who am present in the entities as the one who sustains them, the entities do not sustain me while resting on me”.<\/p>\n ‘Behold My Divine Power that while beings are not upheld by Me, I am yet the Upholder of all beings ; and yet am I not seated in them. By my will I hold all.’<\/span><\/p>\n All this Kosmos constituted of Sentient and Insentient creatures, is permeated by Me.<\/span><\/p>\n By My subtle Form<\/em>, =insensible or indiscernible (avyakta<\/em>) Form. This means : ‘My nature as the unrevealed presence, as the internal (hidden) Ruler (antary\u0101min<\/em>)’. In spirit, thus, I pervade. I do so in My relation to the Universe as the Sovereign Lord (\u015aeshi<\/em>)[3. Vide<\/em>, note 3, Chapter 8 Proem<\/a>. The word \u015aeshi<\/em> is also rendered as Appropriator and Disposer. The sense conveyed by the \u015aesha-\u015aesh\u012b<\/em> relation is \u2018(He) Who sits in earth, …., Whom earth knows not,\u2019[4. Bri: Up:<\/em> v-7-3 (Ya\u1e25 prithivy\u0101m tish\u1e6dnan etc).]<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018(He) Who sits in \u0101tm\u0101, …., Whom \u0101tm\u0101 knows not\u2019[5. Bri: Up:<\/em> v-7-22, K\u0101nv\u0101p\u0101\u1e6dha (Ya \u0101tmani tish\u1e6dhan etc.],<\/span><\/p>\n Hence all existences have their Rest in Me, in My aspect as the Internal Ruler. That I am the Internal Ruler, is expressed in the same Antary\u0101mi-Br\u0101hma\u1e47a<\/em>[6. Bri: Up\u00b0: V-7, goes by the name of Antary\u0101mi-Br\u0101hma\u1e47a<\/em>] thus:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018(He) to whom earth is body, Who, in the interior of earth, rules\u2019[7. Bri: Up:<\/em> V-7-3, (Yasya p\u1e5bithiv\u012b \u015bar\u012bram etc.]<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018(He), to Whom \u0101tma is body, Who, in the interior of \u0101tma, rules.\u2019[8. Bri: Up:<\/em> V-7-22, (Yasy-\u0101tm\u0101 \u015bar\u012bram etc.].<\/span><\/p>\n By saying \u2018body\u2019 and \u2018Ruler\u2019, the subjection of all things to His rule, and all things deriving their existence from Him is established. Hence He is also the Sovereign Lord and Master (\u015aesh\u012b<\/em>).[9. Vide<\/em>, note 3, Chapter 8 Proem<\/a>. The word \u015aeshi<\/em> is also rendered as Appropriator and Disposer. The sense conveyed by the \u015aesha-\u015aesh\u012b<\/em> relation is ‘But I do not rest in them<\/em>‘. =As for Me, I do not derive support from them; meaning that I do not in any way owe to them My own Being.<\/span><\/p>\n Beings are not upheld by Me<\/em>: This means that I do not hold<\/em>[10. In book: “am no held by” which seems to be a printing error.] them in the manner that a vessel upholds water, but that I support all existence by My will.<\/span><\/p>\n Just fancy this wonderful Divine mode of Mine (yogam ai\u015bvaram<\/em>). The wonder or Divine Power is that my way is so unique and singular, and that it does not find comparison elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n What is this yoga (wonderful Mode or Power)?<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I am the Upholder of all beings, and yet I am not seated in them. By My will I hold all\u2019<\/em>:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n I am the Supporter of all beings (bh\u016bta-bh\u1e5bit<\/em>)[11. The 6th name of God. Cp: Taittir\u012bya: N\u0101r\u0101ya\u1e47am:<\/em> I-2; Kaushitaki Up\u00b0:<\/em> III-9.] and I derive no kind of benefit from them.<\/span><\/p>\n Mam-\u0101tma<\/em>=My mind= My will. My abundance of will (manomaya\u1e25<\/em>) alone is the Cause of existence, the Prop of existences, and What establishes an order for existences (Bh\u016bta-bh\u0101vana\u1e25<\/em>).[12.
