1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 22
Vedanam sama vedah asmi devanam asmi vasavah I
Indriyanam manah cha asmi bhutanam asmi chetana II sloka 22
वेदानां साम वेदः अस्मि देवानां अस्मि वासवः I
इन्द्रियाणां मनः च अस्मि भूतानां अस्मि चेतन II श्लोक 22
Of the vedas I am the samam; I am Vasava among the devas; of the senses I am the mind and among the living beings I am consciousness.
One of the names attributed to Vishnu is samaga, which means the chanter of sama veda.. Among the four vedas, sama veda is one best set to music. It is therefore enchanting even to those who cannot understand it. Thought of god comes to all who chant or hear it. It is verily the glory of god.
Vasava is another name for Indra, the lord of the devas. By sheer merit the deserving ones rise to this position.
The functioning of all the 5 senses becomes purposeless when the mind wanders away from them. The ways of the absent minded man verify this position very clearly. Mind being the recorder of all sensations, it is reckoned as an attribute of the Lord.
The difference between the living and the dead is the presence or otherwise of consciousness. The more evolved the being, the clearer the consciousness.
As wealth distinguishes the wealthy man, these glories reveal the lord.
