[devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse] sūryo 'gniḥ khaṁ marud devaḥ somaḥ sandhyāhanī diśaḥ kaṁ kuḥ svayaṁ dharma iti hy ete daihyasya sākṣiṇaḥ [SB 6.1.42] [04:35] "The sun, fire, sky, air, demigods, moon, evening, day, night, directions, water, land and the Supersoul Himself all are witnesses..., all witness the activities of the living entity." Prabhupāda: sūryo 'gniḥ khaṁ marud devaḥ somaḥ sandhyāhanī diśaḥ kaṁ kuḥ svayaṁ dharma iti hy ete daihyasya sākṣiṇaḥ [SB 6.1.42] Sometimes foolish people challenge that "Who has seen? Who has seen?" Sometimes they argue, Christian philosophers, that "If I am suffering the resultant action of my past life, then where is the witness that I have done something wrong in my past life? Where is the witness?" So to them this is the answer, that God has created so many witnesses. The first witness is sūrya, the sun.
How you can go away from the sunlight? Anywhere you go... We are in this room. Because it is daytime, the sunlight is there.
Sūryaḥ agniḥ. Agniḥ means fire. We have to touch with fire in so many ways. The factories are working fire, the electric powerhouse, the electricity, the oven, the kitchen, fire.
So agniḥ..., sūryaḥ agniḥ kham ākāśa: sky. Where you can escape sky? Within the room there is sky; outside, the sky; up, the sky; down, the sky. Everywhere sky.
Sūryaḥ agniḥ khaṁ marud: air. Where is no air? Every place there is air. Devaḥ.
Devaḥ means the Supreme Lord. What is that devaḥ? Nitāi: [indistinct] demigods. Prabhupāda: Demigods or God. God is also situated in everyone's heart. Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati [Bg. 18.61]. Devaḥ.
