    यः प्राकृतैर्ज्ञानपथैर्जनानां यथाशयं देहगतो विभाति । यथानिलः पार्थिवमाश्रितो गुणं स ईश्वरो मे कुरुतान्मनोरथम् ॥ ६-४-३४ ॥yaH prAkRtairjJAnapathairjanAnAM yathAzayaM dehagato vibhAti । yathAnilaH pArthivamAzrito guNaM sa Izvaro me kurutAnmanoratham ॥ 6-4-34 ॥As the air carries various characteristics of the physical elements, like the aroma of a flower or colors resulting from a mixture of dust in the air, the Lord appears through lower systems of worship according to one’s desires, although He appears as the demigods and not in His original form. What is the use of these other forms? May the original Supreme Personality of Godhead please fulfill my desires. ॥ 6-4-34 ॥

    योऽनुग्रहार्थं भजतां पादमूलमनामरूपो भगवाननन्तः । नामानि रूपाणि च जन्मकर्मभिर्भेजे स मह्यं परमः प्रसीदतु ॥ ६-४-३३ ॥yo'nugrahArthaM bhajatAM pAdamUlamanAmarUpo bhagavAnanantaH । nAmAni rUpANi ca janmakarmabhirbheje sa mahyaM paramaH prasIdatu ॥ 6-4-33 ॥The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is inconceivably opulent, who is devoid of all material names, forms and pastimes, and who is all-pervading, is especially merciful to the devotees who worship His lotus feet. Thus He exhibits transcendental forms and names with His different pastimes. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose form is eternal and full of knowledge and bliss, be merciful to me. ॥ 6-4-33 ॥

    अस्तीति नास्तीति च वस्तुनिष्ठयोरेकस्थयोर्भिन्नविरुद्धधर्मयोः । अवेक्षितं किञ्चन योगसाङ्ख्ययोः समं परं ह्यनुकूलं बृहत्तत् ॥ ६-४-३२ ॥astIti nAstIti ca vastuniSThayorekasthayorbhinnaviruddhadharmayoH । avekSitaM kiJcana yogasAGkhyayoH samaM paraM hyanukUlaM bRhattat ॥ 6-4-32 ॥There are two parties — namely, the theists and the atheists. The theist, who accepts the Supersoul, finds the spiritual cause through mystic yoga. The Sāṅkhyite, however, who merely analyzes the material elements, comes to a conclusion of impersonalism and does not accept a supreme cause — whether Bhagavān, Paramātmā or even Brahman. Instead, he is preoccupied with the superfluous, external activities of material nature. Ultimately, however, both parties demonstrate the Absolute Truth because although they offer opposing statements, their object is the same ultimate cause. They are both approaching the same Supreme Brahman, to whom I offer my respectful obeisances. ॥ 6-4-32 ॥

    यच्छक्तयो वदतां वादिनां वै विवादसंवादभुवो भवन्ति । कुर्वन्ति चैषां मुहुरात्ममोहं तस्मै नमोऽनन्तगुणाय भूम्ने ॥ ६-४-३१ ॥yacchaktayo vadatAM vAdinAM vai vivAdasaMvAdabhuvo bhavanti । kurvanti caiSAM muhurAtmamohaM tasmai namo'nantaguNAya bhUmne ॥ 6-4-31 ॥Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the all-pervading Supreme Personality of Godhead, who possesses unlimited transcendental qualities. Acting from within the cores of the hearts of all philosophers, who propagate various views, He causes them to forget their own souls while sometimes agreeing and sometimes disagreeing among themselves. Thus He creates within this material world a situation in which they are unable to come to a conclusion. I offer my obeisances unto Him. ॥ 6-4-31 ॥

    स वै ममाशेषविशेषमायानिषेधनिर्वाणसुखानुभूतिः । स सर्वनामा स च विश्वरूपः प्रसीदतामनिरुक्तात्मशक्तिः ॥ ६-४-२८ ॥sa vai mamAzeSavizeSamAyAniSedhanirvANasukhAnubhUtiH । sa sarvanAmA sa ca vizvarUpaH prasIdatAmaniruktAtmazaktiH ॥ 6-4-28 ॥These twenty-seven elements constitute the external energy of the Lord. Great yogīs meditate upon the Lord, who is situated as the Supersoul, Paramātmā, within the core of the heart. May that Supersoul be pleased with me. The Supersoul is realized when one is eager for liberation from the unlimited varieties of material life. One actually attains such liberation when he engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord and realizes the Lord because of his attitude of service. The Lord may be addressed by various spiritual names, which are inconceivable to the material senses. When will that Supreme Personality of Godhead be pleased with me? ॥ 6-4-28 ॥

    यस्मिन् यतो येन च यस्य यस्मै यद्यो यथा कुरुते कार्यते च । परावरेषां परमं प्राक्प्रसिद्धं तद्ब्रह्म तद्धेतुरनन्यदेकम् ॥ ६-४-३० ॥yasmin yato yena ca yasya yasmai yadyo yathA kurute kAryate ca । parAvareSAM paramaM prAkprasiddhaM tadbrahma taddheturananyadekam ॥ 6-4-30 ॥The Supreme Brahman, Kṛṣṇa, is the ultimate resting place and source of everything. Everything is done by Him, everything belongs to Him, and everything is offered to Him. He is the ultimate objective, and whether acting or causing others to act, He is the ultimate doer. There are many causes, high and low, but since He is the cause of all causes, He is well known as the Supreme Brahman who existed before all activities. He is one without a second and has no other cause. I therefore offer my respects unto Him. ॥ 6-4-30 ॥

    यद्यन्निरुक्तं वचसा निरूपितं धियाक्षभिर्वा मनसोऽत यस्य । मा भूत्स्वरूपं गुणरूपं हि तत्तत्स वै गुणापायविसर्गलक्षणः ॥ ६-४-२९ ॥yadyanniruktaM vacasA nirUpitaM dhiyAkSabhirvA manaso'ta yasya । mA bhUtsvarUpaM guNarUpaM hi tattatsa vai guNApAyavisargalakSaNaH ॥ 6-4-29 ॥Anything expressed by material vibrations, anything ascertained by material intelligence and anything experienced by the material senses or concocted within the material mind is but an effect of the modes of material nature and therefore has nothing to do with the real nature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Lord is beyond the creation of this material world, for He is the source of the material qualities and creation. As the cause of all causes, He exists before the creation and after the creation. I wish to offer my respectful obeisances unto Him. ॥ 6-4-29 ॥

    मनीषिणोऽन्तर्हृदि सन्निवेशितं स्वशक्तिभिर्नवभिश्च त्रिवृद्भिः । वह्निं यथा दारुणि पाञ्चदश्यं मनीषया निष्कर्षन्ति गूढम् ॥ ६-४-२७ ॥manISiNo'ntarhRdi sannivezitaM svazaktibhirnavabhizca trivRdbhiH । vahniM yathA dAruNi pAJcadazyaM manISayA niSkarSanti gUDham ॥ 6-4-27 ॥Just as great learned brāhmaṇas who are expert in performing ritualistic ceremonies and sacrifices can extract the fire dormant within wooden fuel by chanting the fifteen Sāmidhenī mantras, thus proving the efficacy of the Vedic mantras, so those who are actually advanced in consciousness — in other words, those who are Kṛṣṇa conscious — can find the Supersoul, who by His own spiritual potency is situated within the heart. The heart is covered by the three modes of material nature and the nine material elements ॥ material nature, the total material energy, the ego, the mind and the five objects of sense gratification॥, and also by the five material elements and the ten senses. ॥ 6-4-27 ॥

    यदोपरामो मनसो नामरूपरूपस्य दृष्टस्मृतिसम्प्रमोषात् । य ईयते केवलया स्वसंस्थया हंसाय तस्मै शुचिसद्मने नमः ॥ ६-४-२६ ॥yadoparAmo manaso nAmarUparUpasya dRSTasmRtisampramoSAt । ya Iyate kevalayA svasaMsthayA haMsAya tasmai zucisadmane namaH ॥ 6-4-26 ॥When one’s consciousness is completely purified of the contamination of material existence, gross and subtle, without being agitated as in the working and dreaming states, and when the mind is not dissolved as in suṣupti, deep sleep, one comes to the platform of trance. Then one’s material vision and the memories of the mind, which manifests names and forms, are vanquished. Only in such a trance is the Supreme Personality of Godhead revealed. Thus let us offer our respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is seen in that uncontaminated, transcendental state. ॥ 6-4-26 ॥

    देहोऽसवोऽक्षा मनवो भूतमात्रा नात्मानमन्यं च विदुः परं यत् । सर्वं पुमान् वेद गुणांश्च तज्ज्ञो न वेद सर्वज्ञमनन्तमीडे ॥ ६-४-२५ ॥deho'savo'kSA manavo bhUtamAtrA nAtmAnamanyaM ca viduH paraM yat । sarvaM pumAn veda guNAMzca tajjJo na veda sarvajJamanantamIDe ॥ 6-4-25 ॥Because they are only matter, the body, the life airs, the external and internal senses, the five gross elements and the subtle sense objects ॥ form, taste, smell, sound and touch॥ cannot know their own nature, the nature of the other senses or the nature of their controllers. But the living being, because of his spiritual nature, can know his body, the life airs, the senses, the elements and the sense objects, and he can also know the three qualities that form their roots. Nevertheless, although the living being is completely aware of them, he is unable to see the Supreme Being, who is omniscient and unlimited. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto Him. ॥ 6-4-25 ॥
