The Glory of the Mother-and-Father Tīrtha
Within the Vena Episode
अयमेव जगन्नाथः सर्वगो व्यापकः प्रभुः । अस्य रूपं न दृष्टं हि केनाप्येव हि योगिना
ayameva jagannāthaḥ sarvago vyāpakaḥ prabhuḥ | asya rūpaṃ na dṛṣṭaṃ hi kenāpyeva hi yoginā
Er allein ist Jagannātha, der Herr des Universums: überall gegenwärtig, alles durchdringend, der Souverän. Wahrlich, kein Yogin hat je Seine Gestalt in ihrer Fülle geschaut.
Unspecified (narrative voice not provided in the excerpt)
Concept: The Jagannātha is all-pervading and ultimately beyond complete yogic perception; humility before the Infinite is itself a form of wisdom.
Application: Cultivate reverence and surrender; practice yoga/discipline without pride, remembering the goal is communion, not conquest of the divine.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
It affirms the Lord as omnipresent and all-pervading, while emphasizing that His complete form/transcendent reality is not fully grasped even by advanced yogins.
Not necessarily. It stresses the limitation of human or yogic perception in comprehending the Lord's totality; partial realizations or experiences may occur, but His fullness remains beyond complete perception.
Humility and reverence: spiritual attainment should not become pride, since the Supreme exceeds the reach of even exalted yogic effort.
