Bhagavad-pitā  As It is
[Ch. 9]
space is always aloof from the activities of the atmosphere. In the  Upaniṣads , it is stated, “It is out of the fear of the Supreme Lord that the wind is blowing.” In the  Garga Upaniṣad  also it is stated, “By the supreme order, under the superintendence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the moon, the sun and the great planets are moving.” In the  Brahma-samhitā  this is also stated. There is also a description of the movement of the sun, and it is said that the sun is considered to be one of the eyes of the Supreme Lord and that it has immense potency to diffuse heat and light. Still it is moving in its prescribed orbit by the order and the supreme will of Govinda. So, from the Vedic literature we can find evidence that this material manifestation, which appears to us to be very wonderful and great, is under the complete control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This will be further explained in the later verses of this chapter.
