Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :


Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam)

Slokam- 7. ( Samashti-Prapancha-Pratibhasam, and Paramatma-Anubhuti )


Etam    vibhutim    yogam    ca    mama    yo    vetti    tattvatah,

So    vikambena    yogena    yujyate    natra     samsayah.


Mama     etam     vibhutim      =       My   vibhuti     ( Samashti-Prapancha-Pratibhasam )   and;

Yogam     ca                             =       Yogam     (  Vyashti-bhavam  );

Tattvatah                                 =       In tattvic  ( in reality ) way;

Yah     vetti    sa                       =        One who knows/understands;

Avikambena     yogena            =         In    Nischala ( no chalanam )-yogam ( Total-silence i.e.; Paramatma-Anubhuti  );

Yujyate                                     =         Attain a Permanant place.

Atra   samsayah    na                =         In this, no doubt at all.



Here, Vibhuti : means "Manifestations in diverse forms"  and Yogam : means "Sakti or power or strength".


Anyone who factually knows that all this opulence and unification of consciousness is also of Me, will be undivided in his engagement of devotional service, of that there is no doubt.

They, who realize that all this opulence and unification of consciousness originated from me, will undivided be of service in their yoga, that suffers no doubt.

The result of actual knowledge about the glory, majesty and power of the Supreme Lord Krishna that has been expounded as well as rendering bhakti or loving devotion to Him is that one attains undeviating realization of His supreme absolute position and all that is related to it. There is no doubt about this. 

The method by which one's aspirations are made available is known as equanimity. The equanimity of the Supreme Lord is also known as sakti or power. A special manifestation of this sakti is called vibhuti or supernatural opulence. To attain this yogam or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness of the Supreme Lord is also a manifestation of vibhuti.

Now Lord Krishna speaks on the benefits of knowing Him in reality as the great sages spoken previously do, as the Supreme transcendental majestic Lord of all. This is stated with the words yo vetti tattvatah meaning those who know in truth, regarding His transcendental potencies and divine opulence and how they manifest, direst and sustain the whole creation. Such one's like the great sages will undoubtedly become established in undeviating yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness of the Supreme Lord. 

The word vibhuti means transcendental potencies of majestic opulence such as displayed in all of the phenomenal activities manifest in creation, preservation and sustenance and all of the wondrous workings of unlimited universes. The word yogam or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness denotes the consensus of all glorious attributes with the exemption of all that is evil and unrighteous. Whosoever comprehensively understands the preceding and realises the Supreme Lord Krishna through these two components of His character being vibhuti and yoga will succeed in acquiring unwavering and rapt bhakti or exclusive loving devotion. This means that the knowledge of respecting and honouring His vibhuti and yoga by observing, pondering and reflecting how they manifest and operate as phenomenal material activities and divine attributes will assist and facilitate the awakening of bhakti and this can be practically experienced by all who think of Lord Krishna in this way. Next will be explained how the development of bhakti is a direct result of knowledge of Lord Krishna's vibhuti.
