Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 41

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of Bhagavad Gita , published by Ramakrishna Mission

The Essence of the Vibhutis 41-42
1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 41


Yat yat vibhuti mat sattvam srimat urjitam eva va I
Tat tat eva avagacchatvam mama tejah amsha sambhavam II sloka 41
यत् यत् विभूति मत् सत्त्वं श्रीमत् ऊर्जितं एव वा I 
तत् तत् एव अवगच्छत्वं मम तेजः अंश संभवं II श्लोक 41

Whatever being there is glorious, prosperous or powerful, know that to have sprung but from a spark of my splendour.

The sun's rays spreads everywhere and reveals things in their true perspective. The revealing light here is different from the things revealed. But god is self-revealed. He manifests himself as everything. As glory, as brilliance, as splendour, as beauty, as power, and so many other divine attributes, he is expressing himself. Whatever catches our imagination, draws our attention, sends us into raptures and infuses bliss into us, that is none but the glory of god. 

Is it to be inferred then that the sum total of manifested universe and god are one and the same? the Lord clarifies further.
