God pervades creation through His energy while remaining transcendently personal; human life offers the unique choice to return home to Godhead or forget Him again.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Na c MaTSQaaiNa >aUTaaiNa PaXYa Mae YaaeGaMaEṭrMa( ) >aUTa>a*ṁ c >aUTaSQaae MaMaaTMaa >aUTa>aavNa" )) 5 )) Devotees: Jaya. Prabhupāda: Text number five. [leads devotee recitation] na ca mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram bhūta-bhṛn na ca bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ [Bg 9.5] [01:36] So last verse we have discussed, Kṛṣṇa said... When we speak "Kṛṣṇa," you should understand "Kṛṣṇa" means God, the Supreme Being. Kṛṣṇa, the etymological meaning is "the all-attractive." Without being all-attractive there is no meaning of God.
It is not that God is attractive only to certain class of men. No. God is attractive for all classes of men, unless he is animal. Animal does not know what is God and what is the attraction of God.
He does not know. But human being, in the human society, at least in the civilized human society, there is a certain idea of God. Either you follow Christianity or Vedic principle or Muhammadan religion or even Buddha religion, there is conception of God. There is an attempt to understand God.
That is human society. Therefore, according to the capability or country and the people, the conception of God may be a little different from one another. But the attraction for God is there. There is no doubt about it.
So God appears in three fundamental features: brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate. vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvaṁ yaj jñānam advayam brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate [SB 1.2.11] So God is realized in three features by the transcendentalists. The first is impersonal Brahman, impersonal Brahman, without any particular form. That is called Brahman realization. Above that, there is Paramātmā realization, localized.
As Kṛṣṇa said in the previous verse, mayā tatam idaṁ sarvam: everywhere there is God. In the heart of everyone, even within the atom, there is God. This is called Paramātmā feature. Localized everywhere, God is there.
And then Bhagavān. Bhagavān, personal, the Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So in the Supreme Personality, Kṛṣṇa said in the previous verse, mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni na ca ahaṁ teṣu avasthitaḥ [Bg 9.4]. That is explained in this verse, that "Everything is resting upon Me. But at the same time," na ca mat-sthāni bhūtāni, "they are not also in Me." This particular portion has to be understood.
