Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.8Famous
intermediate
न तस्य कार्यं करणं च विद्यते न तत्समश्चाभ्यधिकश्च दृश्यते। परास्य शक्तिर्विविधैव श्रूयते स्वाभाविकी ज्ञानबलक्रिया च॥
na tasya kāryaṃ karaṇaṃ ca vidyate na tatsamaścābhyadhikaśca dṛśyate | parāsya śaktirvividhaiva śrūyate svābhāvikī jñānabalakriyā ca ||
"He has no work to do, no instrument to do it. None is seen equal to or greater than Him. His supreme power is heard of as manifold, inherent - comprising knowledge, strength, and action."
What This Means:
God has no actions to perform, no instruments to use. None equals or exceeds Him. His power is manifold and inherent - as knowledge, strength, and action.
Going Deeper:
This famous verse declares divine perfection: no karma-obligation, incomparability, and inherent threefold power (jnana, bala, kriya).
How To Apply This:
Understand that God's power is inherent, not acquired. He acts without instruments through natural knowledge, strength, and action.
