TRANSLATION A true yogi
observes Me in all beings, and also sees every being in Me. Indeed, the
self-realized man sees Me everywhere.
PURPORT A Krsna conscious
yogi is the perfect seer because he sees Krsna, the Supreme, situated
in everyone's heart as Supersoul (Paramatma). Isvarah sarva-bhutanam
hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati. The Lord in His Paramatma feature is situated
within both the heart of the dog and that of a brahmana. The perfect
yogi knows that the Lord is eternally transcendental and is not
materially affected by His presence in either a dog or a brahmana.
That is the supreme neutrality of the Lord. The individual soul is also
situated in the individual heart, but he is not present in all hearts.
That is the distinction between the individual soul and the Supersoul.
One who is not factually in the practice of yoga cannot see so clearly.
A Krsna conscious person can see Krsna in the heart of both the believer
and the nonbeliever. In the smrti this is confirmed as follows:
atatatvac ca matrtvac ca atma hi paramo harih.
The yogi
sees equally because he sees that all living entities, although in different
situations according to the results of fruitive work, in all circumstances
remain the servants of God. While in the material energy, the living entity
serves the material senses; and while in spiritual energy, he serves the
Supreme Lord directly. In either case the living entity is the servant
of God. This vision of equality is perfect in a person in Krsna consciousness.
