My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

It remains undistinguished among the distinguished beings, and appears as if distinguished. It is to be known as the supporter of beings, and also as their swallower and originator.

Shri Purohit Swami

In all beings undivided, yet living in division, It is the upholder of all, Creator and Destroyer alike;

Swami Adidevananda

Undivided and yet remaining as if divided among beings, this self is to be known as the supporter of elements. It devours them and causes generation.

Swami Gambirananda

And the Knowable, though undivided, appears to be existing as divided in all beings, and It is the sustainer of all beings as also the devourer and originator.

Swami Sivananda

And undivided, yet He exists as if divided in beings; He is to be known as the supporter of beings; He devours and He generates also.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

It is without and within every being, unmoving yet moving; due to its subtle nature, it is incomprehensible; it exists far away yet is near.

Shri Purohit Swami

It is within all beings, yet outside; motionless yet moving; too subtle to be perceived; far away yet always near.

Swami Adidevananda

It is within and without all beings; It is unmoving and yet moving; It is so subtle that none can comprehend It; It is far away, and yet It is very near.

Swami Gambirananda

Existing outside and inside all beings; moving as well as non-moving, It is incomprehensible due to subtleness. So also, It is far away, and yet near.

Swami Sivananda

Without and within (all) beings, the unmoving and also the moving; because of His subtlety, unknowable; and near and far away is That.
