spiritual world. At the same time, He is all-pervading. This paradox is only possible for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of all opulences. The Lord's all-pervasiveness is confirmed in  Bhagavad-gītā  (18.61) where Kṛṣṇa states,  īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānām hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati : "The Supreme Lord is seated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna." Elsewhere in  Bhagavad-gītā  (15.15) the Lord says,  sarvasya cāham hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanam ca : "I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness." Therefore, although the Lord is present everywhere, He cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. As Aryamā says, the Lord is  anupalakṣita-sthāna : no one can locate Him. This is the greatness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
