Chapter
1:
The
First Step in God realization
(24)
His personal body
is this gross material of all matter wherein all those
phenomena are experienced of the resultant past, future
and present of the universe.
(25) This outer
shell of the universe known as a body with seven
coverings [fire, water, earth ,sky, ego, noumenon and
phenomenon], is the conception of the object of the
Universal Form of the purusha as the Supreme
Lord.
Chapter
2:The
Lord in the Heart
(8)
Others see in the meditation on Him within their own body
in the region of the heart the Personality of God
residing there measuring eight inches from the conception
of Him as having four arms carrying the lotus, the wheel
of the chariot, the conchshell and the club. (9) With His
mouth expressing happiness, his eyes wide spread like a
lotus, his clothes yellowish like a Kadamba flower
bedecked with jewels and with golden ornaments inlaid
with precious stones, he wears a glowing headdress with
earrings. (10) His feet are on the whorl of the lotus
hearts of the great mystics. On his chest He wears the
beautifully engraved Kaustuba jewel and around His neck
He has a fresh flower garland spreading its beauty. (11)
With a decorative wrap around His waist, valuable finger
rings, ringing leglets, bangles, oiled spotless bluish,
curling hair and His beautiful, smiling face he looks
very pleasing.
Chapter
3:Pure
Devotional Service: The Change in Heart
(11) All these types of
worshipers surely develop, worshiping the highest
benediction in this life, unflinching spontaneous
attraction to the Supreme Lord through the association
with His pure devotees.
Chapter
4: The
Process of Creation
(6) Again also, I would
like to learn about the personal energies of the Supreme
Lord, as he does create this phenomenal world of the
universe so inconceivable for even its great demigods.
(7) And please tell me also about the way the powerful
one maintains His energies and winds them up again
employing as the all powerful Supreme Personality His
expansions involving them as also being involved Himself,
enacting them and causing them to act.
Chapter
5: The
Cause of all Causes
(34)
Countless millennia that universal reality remained
drowned in the [causal] waters until the
individual soul [jiva or the Lord] of the action
of eternal time to the modes of nature caused the
non-animated to be animated. (35) He Himself as the
original person [the purusha] came out from
within the universal egg dividing Himself in thousands of
divisions of legs, arms, eyes, mouths and
heads.
Chapter
6:
The
hymn of the original person confirmed.
(43-45) I myself
[Brahmâ], the Destroyer and the Maintainer,
all the fathers of the living beings like Daksa [and
Manu], you yourself and the other sons [the
Kumâras], the leaders of the higher worlds, the
travelers, the earth and the lower worlds, the leaders of
the denizens of heaven [of the
Ghandarva,Vidyâdhara and Carâna worlds]
as well as the leaders of the demoniac [the Yaksas,
Raksasa's and Uraga's] and the underworld as well as
the leaders of the sages, the forefathers, the atheists,
the miraculous, the uncivilized and also the dead, the
evil spirits, the Jinn and Kusmanda's [other evil
spirits] and the great aquatics, beasts and birds -
in other words anything and everything in the world that
is of power to a special degree or of a specific mental
or perceptual dexterity or exceptional strength,
forgiveness, beauty, modesty, opulence, intelligence or
breeding are as if they are the form of His
transcendental Principle Reality themselves, but in fact
they are only a fragment of it.
