Etad yonini bhutani sarvanity upadharaya, aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayas tatha
Know that all created beings have their origin in these two natures of Mine. I am the source of the entire universe and into Me it merges at the end. God is the ultimate origin and dissolution of all existence — both the material and spiritual forces that constitute the cosmos flow from Him.
- •God is the source and end of all existence
- •Both matter and consciousness originate from the Divine
- •Creation and dissolution are expressions of God's nature
Na me viduh sura-ganah prabhavam na maharshayah, aham adir hi devanam maharshiphinam ca sarvasha
Neither the hosts of gods nor the great sages know My origin or opulences, for in every respect I am the source of the gods and the great sages. Even the most exalted beings — gods and sages — cannot fully comprehend the infinite nature and origin of the Supreme Lord.
- •The Supreme transcends the comprehension of even gods and sages
- •God is the source of all exalted beings and cannot be known by them fully
- •Humility before the infinite is the mark of true wisdom
Sarva-yonishu kaunteya murtayah sambhavanti yah, tasam brahma mahad yonir aham bija-pradah pita
O son of Kunti, for all species of life that appear in all forms, the great material nature is their womb, and I am the seed-giving father. Every species of life in all forms traces back to this one source — divine consciousness combining with material nature.
- •God is the father of all species of life
- •Material nature is the universal mother
- •All diversity of life forms has one divine origin
