Krsna Is Addressed Here As Visvatman, The Vital Force Of The Universe

[Gavin Swinden]

(So Kṛṣṇa is addressed here as Viśvātman, the vital force of the universe)

 

"So Kṛṣṇa is addressed here as Viśvātman, the vital force of the universe. Just like in my body, in your body, that there is a vital force. The vital force is the ātmā, the living being, living entity or soul.

So because the vital force, the soul, is there, the whole body is working. So similarly, there is the supreme vital force. Supreme vital force is Kṛṣṇa, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead."
