Durvasa’s Curse, the Churning of the Ocean, and Lakshmi’s Manifestation
Chapter 4
सर्वात्मकोसि सर्वेश सर्वभूतस्थितो यतः । कथयामि ततः किं ते सर्वं वेत्सि हृदिस्थितं
sarvātmakosi sarveśa sarvabhūtasthito yataḥ | kathayāmi tataḥ kiṃ te sarvaṃ vetsi hṛdisthitaṃ
నీవు సర్వాత్మవు, సర్వేశ్వరుడవు; ఎందుకంటే నీవు ప్రతి భూతంలో అంతర్యామిగా ఉన్నావు. మరి నేను నీకు ఏమి చెప్పగలను? నీవు హృదయంలో నిలిచి అన్నీ తెలుసుకొంటావు।
Unspecified (a devotee/sage addressing the Supreme Lord)
Concept: Since the Lord dwells in every heart and knows all, the devotee’s speech becomes humble; devotion shifts from informing God to surrendering before the inner-knower.
Application: Before prayer, pause and remember the Lord as the witness in the heart; speak honestly and simply, focusing on sincerity over verbosity.

FAQs
It emphasizes the Antaryāmin concept: the Supreme Lord indwells all beings and therefore knows everything from within the heart.
It frames devotion as intimate and inward: the Lord is not distant but present within, already aware of the devotee’s thoughts and intentions.
Since the divine witness is internal, sincerity, truthfulness, and inner purity matter as much as external ritual or speech.
