Purport

The idea of this verse is very nicely expressed in the Kaṭha Upaniṣad (2.2.13) and Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (6.13). It is clearly stated there that above the innumerable living entities, some of whom are conditioned and some of whom are liberated, there is the Supreme Personality, who is Paramātmā. The Upaniṣadic verse runs as follows: nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām. The purport is that amongst all the living entities, both conditioned and liberated, there is one supreme living personality, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who maintains them and gives them all the facility of enjoyment according to different work. That Supreme Personality of Godhead is situated in everyone’s heart as Paramātmā. A wise man who can understand Him is eligible to attain perfect peace, not others.

Selle värsi mõtet selgitatakse hästi „Kaṭha Upaniṣadis" (2.2.13) ning „Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣadis" (6.13). Seal öeldakse selgelt, et kõik lugematud elusolendid, kellest osa on tingimustest sõltuvad ning osa on vabad, alluvad Kõrgeimale Isiksusele, kes on Paramātmā. „Upaniṣadides" öeldakse: nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām. See värss tähendab, et kõikide nii vabanenud kui ka tingimustest sõltuvate elusolendite hulgas on üks kõrgeimalseisev isiksus, Jumala Kõrgeim Isiksus, kes on kõige alalhoidjaks ning kes annab elusolendeile vahendid, et kogeda naudinguid vastavalt sooritatud tegudele. See Jumala Kõrgeim Isiksus asetseb Paramātmāna iga elusolendi südames. Targad, kes on suutelised Teda mõistma, saavutavad täiusliku rahu, mida keegi teine saavutada ei suuda.
