SUPREME SELF IS ONE

Lord Krishna in His divine message to humanity has delved on what is the nature of two personification of Lord Krishna.
In chapter seven it is called two type nature.

1. Material Nature in form of Ether, Air, Earth, Water and Fire elements.
2. Eternal Nature consists of Consciousness.

In chapter 13 these two are addressed as kshetra and kshetragya. Field and the knower of this field.

In chapter 15 these two are termed as kshar and akshar.
From verse 16 to 20 in this chapter unveil the secret of Matter, Energy and Spirit.

Duvaimou purushou loke ksharashchakshar ev ch I

Ksharah sarvarhi bhutani kutasthoakshar uchayaye II (16)

There are two types of beings, one is destructible and other on is indestructible.

The material bodies of all embodied beings are destructible.

But the self souls identifying with embodiment are infallible.

This phenomenon is to be comprehended with a purpose of self realization.

For the easy access to the central point we should again go to chapter seven wherein the Lord Krishna has described his material as well as eternal nature.

Lord Krishna has explained his own wholesome.
What is described as material nature in chapter seven, it is termed as ksharah and what is eternal here it is termed as aksharah.

Lord has explained his own wholesome in chapter seven. In following verses Lord Krishna explains the supreme self:

mayyasakatmanah parth yogamyunjan madaashrya I
ashanshayam samagram mam yatha gyasaysi tatchhrirhu II

gyanam teaham svigyanam vakshishyami asheshtah
yajgyatwa neh bhuyoanyad gyatawyum avshishyete II(7.1-2)

Lord Shri Krishna says:
Parth! While devoting your mind to me, meditating me and taking my shelter, how you will know me completely, that you, listen from me.
I will narrate you the knowledge along with its science, on knowing which, nothing more remains to know.

manushyanam sahareshukashchit yatayati sidhiye I
yatatamapi sidhanam kashchitmam veti tatwatah. II (7.3)

Lord says that out of thousands of the human beings, one may try to realize and attain the Self/Lord.


Out of those making efforts, only a rare one realizes Me completely.

bhumiapoanlo vayu kham manoh bhudhirev ch I

ahankaram etiayam me bhinnah parkriti ashatdha II (7.4)

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

aparmayam itastuanyam parkritim vidhi me pram I

jeevbhutam mahabaho yayedam dharyate jagat II (7.5)


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


etatad yonini bhutani sarvarhinitiupdharay I

aham krisanam jagatah parbhavah parlayastatha II (7.6)


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.

Now by this very disclosure we can see that the inanimate nature of Lord Krishna is described in verse 4 and other eternal energy of Lord has been termed as jeevbhutanam, which is fragment of Lord but in search of supremacy this eternal energy acts foolishly.

It engages itself with material nature.

The material bodies are fallible till the embodied self soul transgresses this quagmire with the help of Lord Krishna through a guru.

When this self soul reaches his eternal home, it attains that eternity of pure self.

There is neither dualities nor material anxiety, nor sorrow nor happiness, hunger or thirst, neither birth nor death.

It attains Service of Lord Krishna attainment of which is goal of human from.

This message is not meant for acquiring worldly wisdom but it endeavors attainment of self realization that we are not this human Skelton roaming in material world to enjoy transitory sense objects but we are eternal fraction of Supreme Consciousness.

Detaching completely ourselves from this material nature /energy we should go to the service of Godhead and attain eternal peace.

Uttamah purushahastuanyah parmatamitiudahritah I

Yo loktrayamavishay vibhartiyavayayah ishwarah II


Yasmatksharamatitoahamaksharadapi chotammah I

Atoasmi loke vede ch paratithah purushotammah II


Yo mamevamasammudho janati purushattmmah I

Sa sarvidbhajati mam sarbhaven bharat II (15.17-19)

Superior personality is someone else who is addressed as Supreme Soul who by entering the entire universe holds it.

This Great Soul is beyond the fallible and infallible, that is why it is called Supreme Soul in Holy Scriptures and in the planets.

One who undoubtedly know me the Supreme Self, he is the knower of every thing, he worships me with all devotion

Supreme soul is unparallel. None of self soul can supersede him in his opulence. he is for this reason called super soul (Purushottam) in Vedas and in the entire universe. He is the controller of all inanimate objects and all beings. He is in their form and beyond that. He is formless as well in form. None can beat him. He is faster than mind and surpasses others while seemingly sitting at one place.
Whether they may be fallible self soul attached with material nature, acquiring huge wealth, vast empire of three proverbial planets of earth, heaven and lower planets, or eternal self souls, he is superior to all of them. Even the creator Brahma is under the control of lord.
Supreme Being.

He is primeval being, the Lord of Parkriti and Purush.
