and that He is thesupreme friend of all living entities. If one does not know
this and functions instead under the bodily conception, he is always
harassed by the tribulations offered by material nature. In actuality, the
Supreme Lord is sitting by the side of everyone.

“The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is
directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a
machine, made of the material energy.” (Bg. 18.61)

The living entity and the Supersoul are sitting side by side in the same

tree, but despite being harassed by the laws of material nature, the foolish
