intermediate
एको देवः सर्वभूतेषु गूढः सर्वव्यापी सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा। कर्माध्यक्षः सर्वभूताधिवासः साक्षी चेता केवलो निर्गुणश्च॥
eko devaḥ sarvabhūteṣu gūḍhaḥ sarvavyāpī sarvabhūtāntarātmā | karmādhyakṣaḥ sarvabhūtādhivāsaḥ sākṣī cetā kevalo nirguṇaśca ||
"The one God hidden in all beings, all-pervading, the inner Self of all beings, the overseer of actions, dwelling in all beings, the witness, pure consciousness, alone, and without qualities."
What This Means:
There is one God hidden everywhere - pervading all, the inner Self of all, witnessing actions, dwelling in everyone, pure awareness, alone, beyond qualities.
Going Deeper:
This comprehensive verse lists divine attributes: hidden (gūḍha), all-pervading (sarvavyāpī), inner Self (antarātmā), karma overseer (karmādhyakṣa), witness (sākṣī), consciousness (cetā), alone (kevala), without qualities (nirguṇa).
How To Apply This:
Meditate on these divine attributes. The same God is the witness within you, beyond all qualities yet aware of everything.
