Verse 1.8.18

Verse 1.8.18 (Puja Mataji's Summary):

* Krishna says in BG that: "I am situated in everyone's heart, and only due to Me one remembers, forgets and is cognizant, etc. Through all the Vedas I am to be known because I am the compiler of the Vedas, and I am the teacher of the Vedanta"
* In various verses in BG, Vedanta Sutra's, it is described as to the opulences of the Lord. So hearing from all these, we can understand to some extent the true nature of the SPG.
* So to understand His true nature, we have to come out of the rebellious mode and to do this, we have to take shelter of the scriptures, chant sincerely.
* For us to understand all this, we have to read the vedas and chant nicely.
* Kshirodakshayi Vishnu is the Supersoul within our heart.
* All the incarnations expand through this K. Vishnu.
* But when Krishna comes, it is normally thought that He is the expansion of K. Vishnu, but it is through Him that Krishna comes, although K. Vushnu is Himself an expansion of Krishna.
* Maha Vishnu stays in Causal Ocean (Karunodakshayi ocean, Varaja river), universes come from His body. To create variegatedness, He expands Himself and enters into each universe. From the sweat of His body, comes Garbodakshayi ocean and in it G. Vishnu lies down. From his navel, comes a stem and a lotus. 14 planetary systems are in this stem. Brahma is born in the lotus. Then K. Vishnu expands and stays on Sweta-dwip, in the ocean of Milk.
* This establishes Krishna's all pervading ability and His ability to be inperson in front of us too.
