Summary

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 13-14 from the Thirteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The Song of God".


🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 13:

सर्वत: पाणिपादं तत्सर्वतोऽक्षिशिरोमुखम् |

सर्वत: श्रुतिमल्लोके सर्वमावृत्य तिष्ठति ||13||

Sarvataḥ pāṇi-pādaṁ tat sarvato ’kṣhi-śhiro-mukham

sarvataḥ śhrutimal loke sarvam āvṛitya tiṣhṭhati ||13||


🔴 His hands and feet are everywhere. His eyes, ears and mouth grasp everything. His face is in all directions. He is the transcendent Spirit, enveloping all that exists in the world.


🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 14:

सर्वेन्द्रियगुणाभासं सर्वेन्द्रियविवर्जितम् |

असक्तं सर्वभृच्चैव निर्गुणं गुणभोक्तृ च ||14||

Sarvendriya-guṇābhāsaṁ sarvendriya-vivarjitam

asaktaṁ sarva-bhṛich chaiva nirguṇaṁ guṇa-bhoktṛi cha ||14||


🔴 By his powers the faculties of the senses function, but sense organs He has none. He is the support of all things, but they do not affect him. He transcends Nature and its functions, but these constitute the objects for His enjoyment.
