Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.16
intermediate
स विश्वकृद्विश्वविदात्मयोनिर्ज्ञः कालकालो गुणी सर्वविद्यः। प्रधानक्षेत्रज्ञपतिर्गुणेशः संसारमोक्षस्थितिबन्धहेतुः॥
sa viśvakṛdviśvavidātmayonirjñaḥ kālakālo guṇī sarvavidyaḥ | pradhānakṣetrajñapatirguṇeśaḥ saṃsāramokṣasthitibandhahetuḥ ||
"He is the creator and knower of all, the self-caused, the wise, the maker of time, possessing all qualities, the all-knowing, the lord of pradhana and kshetrajna, the ruler of the gunas, the cause of bondage and liberation in samsara."
What This Means:
God creates and knows all. He is self-caused, wise, makes time, has all qualities, knows all. He lords over matter and souls, rules qualities, causes bondage and freedom.
Going Deeper:
A comprehensive description integrating Sankhya terms (pradhana, kshetrajna) with Vedantic conclusions (moksha-hetu).
How To Apply This:
Recognize God as both the cause of your bondage and your liberation. Turn to Him for freedom.
