Passage 5

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

It is not possible to discover such a God. But you must regard every atom as the immense itself. Every immense thing you must believe to be an atom. Uddhava said:

Can we find You, Kṛṣṇa? Can we find You! You are of a form subtler than the atom; You are far greater than the immense; the eighty-four lakh living beings You never forsake at any time, they say; from the speck of dust, the blade of grass, the stick of wood onward, You shine forth, they say, as the undivided Form.

The One who is in every atom is God Himself! For what purpose did He give this world? ‘O men! O divine beings! Here, I have created everything in this world for you. For man, from the time he rises at dawn until he lies down at night, I have created all the provisions fit for whatever things he must enjoy, whenever, wherever and however. I gave water to drink. I gave air for coolness. I created the five elements for you alone. Enjoy them as you please. I have given the freedom to you yourselves. There is no objection of any kind. Enjoy as you like,’ He said. There is no tax of any kind. No duty of any kind. You may enjoy as much as you like. But He set one condition. ‘Whatever you enjoy, you must also experience its fruit,’ He said. If you do bad, a bad result comes. If you do good, a good result comes. You must be ready to receive this. In this matter I do not interfere in the least. You must experience it without fail. The Gītā has explained this very matter well. God gave light to drive away the darkness. To one suffering from the heat He gave cool air. Man thinks, ‘I should enjoy this freely.’
