Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 5-8 from the Ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 5:

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।

भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥ 5 ॥

na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogamaiśvaram

bhūtabhṛnna ca bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ

🔴 Nor do beings exist (in reality) in Me — behold My Divine YOGA supporting all beings, but not dwelling in them, am I My Self, the efficient-cause of all beings.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 6:

यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।

तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय ॥ 6 ॥

yathākāśasthito nityaṃ vāyuḥ sarvatrago mahān

tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni matsthānītyupadhāraya

🔴 As the mighty wind, moving everywhere, rests always in space (the AKASHA ) , even so, know you, all beings rest in Me.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 7:

सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम् ।

कल्पक्षये पुनस्तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्यहम् ॥ 7 ॥

sarvabhūtāni kaunteya prakṛtiṃ yānti māmikām

kalpakṣaye punastāni kalpādau visṛjāmyaham

🔴 All beings, O Kaunteya (O Son of Kunti) , go into My PRAKRITI (nature) at the end of a KALPA; I send them forth again at the beginning of (the next) KALPA.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 8:

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः ।

भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥ 8 ॥

prakṛtiṃ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ

bhūtagrāmamimaṃ kṛtsnamavaśaṃ prakṛtervaśāt

🔴 Animating My PRAKRITI, I, again and again send forth all this helpless multitude of beings, by the force of nature (PRAKRITI) .
