\u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Kunt\u012b said: O K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, I offer my obeisances unto You because You are the original personality and are unaffected by the qualities of the material world. You are existing both within and without everything, yet You are invisible to all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Kunt\u012bdev\u012b was quite aware that K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is the original Personality of Godhead, although He was playing the part of her nephew. Such an enlightened lady could not commit a mistake by offering obeisances unto her nephew. Therefore, she addressed Him as the original puru\u1e63a<\/i> beyond the material cosmos. Although all living entities are also transcendental, they are neither original nor infallible. The living entities are apt to fall down under the clutches of material nature, but the Lord is never like that. In the Vedas,<\/i> therefore, He is described as the chief among all living entities (nityo nity\u0101n\u0101\u1e41 cetana\u015b cetan\u0101n\u0101m<\/i>). Then again He is addressed as \u012b\u015bvara,<\/i> or the controller. The living entities or the demigods like Candra and S\u016brya are also to some extent \u012b\u015bvara,<\/i> but none of them is the supreme \u012b\u015bvara,<\/i> or the ultimate controller. He is the parame\u015bvara,<\/i> or the Supersoul. He is both within and without. Although He was present before \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Kunt\u012b as her nephew, He was also within her and everyone else. In the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/i> (15.15)<\/a> the Lord says, \u201cI am situated in everyone\u2019s heart, and only due to Me one remembers, forgets and is cognizant, etc. Through all the Vedas<\/i> I am to be known because I am the compiler of the Vedas,<\/i> and I am the teacher of the Ved\u0101nta.<\/i>\u201d Queen Kunt\u012b affirms that the Lord, although both within and without all living beings, is still invisible. The Lord is, so to speak, a puzzle for the common man. Queen Kunt\u012b experienced personally that Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a was present before her, yet He entered within the womb of Uttar\u0101 to save her embryo from the attack of A\u015bvatth\u0101m\u0101\u2019s brahm\u0101stra.<\/i> Kunt\u012b herself was puzzled about whether \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is all-pervasive or localized. In fact, He is both, but He reserves the right of not being exposed to persons who are not surrendered souls. This checking curtain is called the m\u0101y\u0101<\/i> energy of the Supreme Lord, and it controls the limited vision of the rebellious soul. It is explained as follows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
