The Demigods Appeal to the Lord
193
PURPORT
We can simply understand that behind the activities of material nature is the Supreme Lord, by whose indications everything takes place, although we cannot see Him. Even without seeing Him, we should offer Him our respectful obeisances. We should know that He is complete. Everything is done systematically by His energies ( parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate ), and therefore He has nothing to do ( na tasya kāryaṁ karaṇaṁ ca vidyate ). As indicated here by the word  upaśānta-śaktaye , His different energies act, but although He sets these energies in action, He Himself has nothing to do. He is not attached to anything, for He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, let us offer our respectful obeisances unto Him.
TEXT 45
स त्वं नो दर्शयात्मानमसत्करणगोचरम् । प्रपञ्चानां दिद्धूणां सस्मितं ते मुखाम्बुजम् ॥४५॥
sa tvaṁ no darśayātmānam asmat-karaṇa-gocaram prapannānāṁ didṛkṣūṇāṁ sasmitaṁ te mukhāmbujam
saḥ— He (the Supreme Personality of Godhead);  tvam— You are my Lord;  naḥ— to us;  darśaya— be visible;  ātmānam— in Your original form;  asmat-karaṇa-gocaram— appreciable by our direct senses, especially by our eyes;  prapannānām— we are all surrendered unto You;  didṛkṣūṇām— yet we wish to see You;  sasmitam— smiling;  te— Your;  mukha-ambujam— lotuslike face.
TRANSLATION
O Supreme Personality of Godhead, we are surrendered unto You, yet we wish to see You. Please make Your original form and smiling lotus face visible to our eyes and appreciable to our other senses.
