TRANSLATION
My dear Lord, just as a puppeteer controls his dancing dolls and a husband controls his wife, Your Lordship controls all the living entities in the universe, such as the brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas, vaiśyas and śūdras. Although You are in everyone's heart as the supreme witness and commander and are outside everyone as well, the so-called leaders of societies, communities and countries cannot realize You. Only those who hear the vibration of the Vedic mantras can appreciate You.
PURPORT
The Supreme Personality of Godhead is  antarbahiḥ , present within and without everything. One must overcome the delusion caused by the Lord's external energy and realize His presence both externally and internally. In  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (1.8.19) Śrīmatī Kuntīdevī has explained that Kṛṣṇa appears in this world  naṭo nāṭyadharo yathā , "exactly like an actor dressed as a player." In  Bhagavad-gītā  (18.61) Kṛṣṇa says,  īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati : "The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna." The Lord is situated within everyone's heart, and outside as well. Within the heart He is the Supersoul, the incarnation who acts as the adviser and witness. Yet although God is residing within their hearts, foolish people say, "I cannot see God. Please show Him to me."
