Re: Paramatma and Lord"s Form and Pastimes in the heart

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Thank You very much for Your answers.

Respected Swami Gaurangapada Maharaja, You said that: "...even though the Supersoul is only manifested in this material creation in the hearts of each living entity."

In Shri Jiva Goswami' Paramatma Sandarbha i found the following verse, which mentions that Lord's Supersoul feature is also manifested in the spiritual world, although it's correct that primarily it is manifested in the material world. Please help me to understand this.

Anuccheda 1, Text 1

atha paramatma vivriyate. yadyapi paramatmatvam vaikunthe 'pi prabhor asti. tad api ca bhagavattangam tat syad ittham jagad-gatam vacyam. tatra tam jagad-gata-jiva-nirupana-purvakam nirupayati dvabhyam

atha-now; paramatma-th Supersoul; vivriyate.-is described; yadyapi-although; paramatmatvam-the nature of the Supersoul; vaikun�he-in Vaikuntha; api-also; prabhoh-of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; asti.-is; tad api-nevertheless; ca-also; bhagavatta-of the nature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; angam--a part; tat-that; syat-is; ittham-thus; jagad-gatam-gone to the material world; vacyam.-to be said; tatra-there; tam-that; jagad-gata-gone to the material world; jiva-of the individual spirit soul; nirupana-description; purvakam-previous; nirupayati-dscribes; dvabhyam-with two.

Now the Supersoul will be described. Although the Lord's Supersoul feature is also manifested in the spiritual world of Vaikuntha, it is generally said to that the Supreme Lord's Supersoul expansion is present primarily in the material world. The individual spirit souls and the Supersoul, both present in the material world, are described in the following two verses (Shrimad-Bhagavatam 5.11.12-13).

Thank You very much.

Yours humbly,
Matus
