TRANSLATION
O Supreme Lord, You are actually the air, the earth, fire, sky and
water. You are the objects of sense perception, the life airs, the five
senses, the mind, consciousness and false ego. Indeed, You are
everything, subtle and gross. The material elements and anything
expressed, either by the words or by the mind, are nothing but
You.
PURPORT
This is the all-pervasive conception of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, which explains how He spreads everywhere and anywhere.
Sarvam khalv ida brahma: everything is Brahman—the Supreme
Brahman, Krsna. Nothing exists without Him. As the Lord says in
Bhagavad-gita (9.4):
maya tatam idam sarvam
jagad avyakta-mirtina
mat-sthani sarva-bhitani
na caham tesv avasthitah
“I exist everywhere, and everything exists in Me, yet I am not visible
everywhere.” The Lord can be visible only through devotional service.
