نارد نے کہا—جس سے یہ سارا کائنات پیدا ہوئی اور جس سے تمام لوک ظاہر ہوئے؛ جس کی ہی تجلی سے وید، دھرم، پُرسکون رشی اور سب دیوتا وجود میں آئے—اس لامحدود قوت والے پرم دیو کو شویت دیوپ کے باشندے بھکتی کے ساتھ اپنے دل میں بسائے رکھتے ہیں۔

Educational Q&A

The supreme God is the source from whom the universe, all worlds, the Vedas, Dharma, sages, and gods arise; true devotion is internalized—holding that Lord in one’s heart—aligning one’s life with the cosmic-ethical order (dharma) that proceeds from Him.

Nārada describes the devotion of the residents of Śvetadvīpa: they contemplate and cherish within their hearts the all-originating Lord, emphasizing His supremacy and the idea that even revered authorities like the Vedas and the gods are His manifestations.
