84 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 7, Ch. 7

TRANSLATION

One should always remember the Supreme Personality of God-
head in His localized representation as the Paramatma, who is situ-
ated in the core of every living entity’s heart. Thus one should
offer respect to every living entity according to that living entity’s
position or manifestation.

PURPORT

Harih sarvesu bhiitesu. This statement is sometimes misunderstood by
unscrupulous persons who wrongly conclude that because Hari, the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, is situated in every living entity, every
living entity is therefore Hari. Such foolish persons do not distinguish
between the dtmd and the Paramatma, who are situated in every body.
The atma is the living entity, and the Paramatma is the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. The individual living entity, however, is different
from the Paramatma, the Supreme Lord. Therefore harih sarvesu
bhiitesu means that Hari is situated as Paramatma, not as dtmd, although
Gtmé is a part of Paramatma. Offering respect to every living entity
means offering respect to the Paramatma situated in every living entity.
One should not misunderstand every living entity to be the Paramatma.
Sometimes unscrupulous persons designate a living entity as daridra-
ndrayana, svdmi-ndrayana, this Narayana or that Narayana. One should
clearly understand that although Narayana is situated in the core of the
heart of every living entity, the living entity never becomes Narayana.
