kaviṁ purāṇam anuśāsitāram aṇor aṇīyāṁsam anusmared yaḥ sarvasya dhātāram acintya-rūpam āditya-varṇaṁ tamasaḥ parastāt
"One who meditates on the Omniscient, the Ancient, the Ruler, smaller than the smallest, the Sustainer of all, of inconceivable form, radiant like the sun, beyond all darkness..."
What This Means:
Krishna describes what to meditate on: the One who is all-knowing (kavi), ancient yet ever-present, the cosmic ruler, subtler than atoms, sustainer of everything, beyond conception, luminous, beyond all darkness.
Going Deeper:
These aren't contradictions—they're paradoxes pointing beyond ordinary thought. Smaller than small yet sustainer of all. Ancient yet present. Luminous yet beyond form. Hold these paradoxes; they expand consciousness.
How To Apply This:
Let your conception of the Divine be vast enough to include paradox. If your God is fully comprehensible, you've made God too small. True meditation stretches beyond what the mind can grasp.
