Transcendental sky
Bhagavad-gita As It Is
BG Chapters 7 - 12
There is no truth superior to that Supreme Person, because He is the supermost. He is smaller than the smallest, and He is greater than the greatest. He is situated as a silent tree, and He illumines the transcendental sky, and as a tree spreads its roots, He spreads His extensive energies.
BG 7.7, Purport: The impersonalist puts more stress on the word arūpam. But this arūpam is not impersonal. It indicates the transcendental form of eternity, bliss and knowledge as described in the Brahma-saṁhitā quoted above. Other verses in the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (3.8-9) substantiate this as follows:
"There is no truth superior to that Supreme Person, because He is the supermost. He is smaller than the smallest, and He is greater than the greatest. He is situated as a silent tree, and He illumines the transcendental sky, and as a tree spreads its roots, He spreads His extensive energies."
From these verses one concludes that the Supreme Absolute Truth is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is all-pervading by His multi-energies, both material and spiritual.
- vedāham etaṁ puruṣaṁ mahāntam
- āditya-varṇaṁ tamasaḥ parastāt
- tam eva viditvāti mṛtyum eti
- nānyaḥ panthā vidyate 'yanāya
- yasmāt paraṁ nāparam asti kiñcid
- yasmān nāṇīyo no jyāyo 'sti kiñcit
- vṛkṣa iva stabdho divi tiṣṭhaty ekas
- tenedaṁ pūrṇaṁ puruṣeṇa sarvam
