Purport

The entire cosmic manifestations, moving and nonmoving, are manifested by different activities of Kṛṣṇa’s energy. In the material existence we create different relationships with different living entities who are nothing but Kṛṣṇa’s marginal energy; under the creation of prakṛti some of them appear as our father, mother, grandfather, creator, etc., but actually they are parts and parcels of Kṛṣṇa. As such, these living entities who appear to be our father, mother, etc., are nothing but Kṛṣṇa. In this verse the word dhātā means “creator.” Not only are our father and mother parts and parcels of Kṛṣṇa, but the creator, grandmother and grandfather, etc., are also Kṛṣṇa. Actually any living entity, being part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, is Kṛṣṇa. All the Vedas, therefore, aim only toward Kṛṣṇa. Whatever we want to know through the Vedas is but a progressive step toward understanding Kṛṣṇa. That subject matter which helps us purify our constitutional position is especially Kṛṣṇa. Similarly, the living entity who is inquisitive to understand all Vedic principles is also part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa and as such is also Kṛṣṇa. In all the Vedic mantras the word oṁ, called praṇava, is a transcendental sound vibration and is also Kṛṣṇa. And because in all the hymns of the four Vedas – Sāma, Yajur, Ṛg and Atharva – the praṇava, or oṁ-kāra, is very prominent, it is understood to be Kṛṣṇa.

Kogu see kosmiline avaldumine, nii liikuv kui ka liikumatu, on avaldunud tänu Kṛṣṇa energia erinevatele tegevustele. Materiaalses eksistentsis loome me erinevaid suhteid erinevate elusolenditega, kes pole midagi muud kui Kṛṣṇa piiratud energia, ning prakṛti mõju all olles peame me neid oma isaks, emaks, esiisaks, loojaks jne, kuid tegelikult on nad kõik Kṛṣṇa lahutamatud osakesed. Ning sellistena pole need elusolendid, kes näivad meile näiteks meie isa või emana, midagi muud kui Kṛṣṇa. Sõna dhātā tähendab selles värsis „looja". Mitte ainult meie isad ja emad pole Kṛṣṇa lahutamatud osakesed, vaid ka looja, vanaema ja vanaisa – õigupoolest kõik elusolendid – ja selles mõttes on nad kõik Kṛṣṇa. Seega on kõikide „Vedade" eesmärgiks üksnes Kṛṣṇa mõistmine. Ükskõik, mida me „Vedadest" teada tahame saada, on nende teadmiste omandamine üksnes samm Kṛṣṇa mõistmise suunas. Need teadmised aga, mis aitavad meil puhastuda ning jõuda oma algolemuslikku positsiooni, on eriliselt Kṛṣṇa. Elusolend, kes on uudishimulik ning soovib mõista kõiki vedalikke põhimõtteid, on samuti Kṛṣṇa lahutamatu osake ning on sellisena samuti Kṛṣṇa. Kõikides vedalikes mantrates esinev sõna oṁ, mida kutsutakse praṇavaks, on transtsendentaalne helivibratsioon ning samuti Kṛṣṇa. Ning kuna kõikides nelja „Veda" – „Sāma", „Yajur", „Ṛg" ja „Atharva" – hümnides on praṇava ehk oṁkāra väga kesksel kohal, tuleb ka neid vaadelda kui Kṛṣṇat.
