Chapter 10: Vibhūti-yoga - Verse 41
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
What a wholesome pronouncement from the Guru to the śishya, nay to all seekers and students! The world is abundantly various, displaying assorted alluring and awesome excellences.
The snow-clad Himalayas, the holy Ganges with uncontaminable waters, the exquisite Valley of Flowers and the like are instances of this kind. Events involving Rama, Krishna, Arjuna, Yudhishthira, Seeta and Draupadi, are equally wonderful instances, evincing the Supreme’s manifold splendour.
Though all are manifestations of the Self alone, these stand out as specially great and famous. To have the transcendental vision to see all as equally divine is not easy. But everyone can perceive divinity in a few items that attract his mind. The idea growing deeper, the mind will become purer and wholesome, to see the Supreme in all, leading the seeker to inner fullness and transcendence.
