Bhagavad-gita As It Is
BG Chapters 7 - 12
The Supreme Person illumines the transcendental sky, and as a tree spreads its roots, He spreads His extensive energies.
BG 7.7, Purport: Other verses in the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (3.8-9) substantiate this as follows:
- 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
"I know that Supreme Personality of Godhead who is transcendental to all material conceptions of darkness. Only he who knows Him can transcend the bonds of birth and death. There is no way for liberation other than this knowledge of that Supreme Person.
"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."
