1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 15 - Purushottama Yoga - Sloka 13

Gam avishya cha bhutani dharayami aham ojasa I

Pushnami cha aushadhih sarvah somah bhutva rasatmakah II sloka 13

गाम् आविश्य च भूतानि धारयामि अहं ओजसा I 

पुष्णामि च औषधिः सर्वः सोमः भूत्वा रसात्मकः II श्लोक 13 

Entering the earth I support all beings by my energy; I nourish all herbs becoming the juicy soma.

It is evident all over nature that one form of energy transforms itself into another. Modern science takes advantage of this fact and turns the resources of nature to man's advantage. On a close investigation it is found that no demarcation can be made between the energy that is sentient and insentient. Life on earth thrives for example, by converting light and heat from the sun into sentient energy.

The energy in its original form as it emenates from Iswara is called as Ojas. It pervades teh whole universe and holds it intact. The movable and immovable all get their sustenance from it. Entering the earth, He not only upholds all beings with his strength, by his irresistable power, but becoming the soma or juice of the nectar, he norurishes  all herbs too
