Text 10] The Demigods and Demons Declare a Truce 211

cording to the Vedic Tantras. My Lord, we can see all the three
worlds in You.

PURPORT

The Vedic mantras say: yasmin vijidte sarvam evam vijfdtam
bhavati. When the devotee sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead by
his meditation, or when he sees the Lord personally, face to face, he be-
comes aware of everything within this universe. Indeed, nothing is
unknown to him. Everything within this material world is fully
manifested to a devotee who has seen the Supreme Personality of God-
head. Bhagavad-gita (4.34) therefore advises:

tad viddhi pranipatena
pariprasnena sevaya

upadeksyanti te jndnam
jfaninas tattva-darsinah

“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire
from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized
soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.”
Lord Brahma is one of these self-realized authorities (svayambhar
naradah sambhuh kumarah kapilo manuh). One must therefore accept
the disciplic succession from Lord Brahma, and then one can understand
the Supreme Personality of Godhead in fullness. Here the word visva-
mirtau indicates that everything exists in the form of the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. One who is able to worship Him can see everything
in Him and see Him in everything.
