TRANSCENDENTAL AND TRANSIENT NATURE OF lORD kRISHNA

Lord Krishna in His divine messagesays that he has created two type of nature.

In chapter 7 he says:

bhumiapoanlo vayu kham manoh bhudhirev ch I

ahankaram etiayam me bhinnah parkriti ashatdha II (4)

Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect, and ego are eight folded different type of my nature.


Lord unfolds eight types of his transient nature. There are two types of nature of which self takes shape.
Unanimated and animate
But both are the shapes which the self has transformed into. Lord unfolds eight types of his transient nature.
Earth, water, fire, air and ether along with mind set, intellect, and ego are unanimated nature; it is unanimated nature of Lord Krishna. These are not different from the self.
This is the knowledge which is the crux of this chapter whereby a seer can realize his own self.
That is why it is knowledge which discovers existing truth which is a sort of science of true nature of self.

aparmayam itastuanyam parkritim vidhi me pram I

jeevbhutam mahabaho yayedsm dharyate jagat II (5)


Oh Mighty Armed! Another superior nature of mine is the individual soul nature whereby I create and hold this universe

The other nature is animated individual soul nature of the almighty self whereby this universe is created and sustained by self.

Now it is abundantly clear that self/supreme self divided itself in two forms to play with itself and enjoy with itself.

This not deliberation of seers or philosophy enunciated by some persons who have discovered something new and they formulating some fiction.

It is the voice of eternal self who came to bestow deliverance on earth, cow and learned from the misdeeds of wicked.

It is simple statement for those who pray for and want deliverance.

Self is all pervading in all forms and spreading everywhere and in all directions.
It is not only to be seen but it is to be kept before oneself so that one is able to recognize one’s true self.



etatad yonini bhutani sarvarhinitiupdharay I

aham krisanam jagatah parbhavah parlayastatha II (6)

Presume all the beings held in the union of these two types of nature and I with these two forms of nature, create and destroy this universe.


These two animated and unanimated form of nature are the real cause of this whole universe.
What one can see or hear or has read about or heard of, all is outcome of union of these two.

These forms and beyond them, creating these forms, forming and transforming them.

This is self manifold, expanded in such a manner that it is not possible to count or access its modes.

One can be able to count particles of dust in entire universe in one’s life time but it is not possible in many lives like this to count the forms of lord.

World is daily changing its form and new species come into being , old still being subsisting and changing, going vanishing not to come back again.

What a wonderful phenomena, but one in human form and blessed with intellect, still failing to realize self.
