Gita reflection Ch 10 verses 33 & 34

6th August 2024


The first alphabet in almost all languages is 'A'. The Upanishads also declare that 'from 'a' all sounds start'. The letter A is considered His manifestation. It is also the first letter of AUM, which is the word symbol for Brahman.

In the Sanskrit language, many compounds (samas) are used where two or more words come together to become a single word. Among those compounds, the Lord manifests as the 'dvandva' in which two words come together with equal importance. This signifies that "jeeva" and "ishwara" are one and the same philosophically.

The Lord manifests as the cosmic time, which is eternal and also the dispenser of results of actions, and whose faces are everywhere. He also manifests as death at the time of cosmic dissolution, and as the origin of all beings at the time of creation.

The Lord Himself manifests in all women as fame, beauty, speech, memory, intelligence, fortitude, and forbearance.
