Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 15: The Supreme Person
Bhagavad Gita 15.17
उत्तमः पुरुषस्त्वन्यः परमात्मेत्युदाहृतः ।
यो लोकत्रयमाविश्य बिभर्त्यव्यय ईश्वरः ॥
uttamaḥ puruṣastvanyaḥ paramātmetyudāhṛtaḥ | yo lokatrayamāviśya bibhartyavyaya īśvaraḥ ||
But there is another, the highest Person, called the supreme self: the imperishable Lord who enters the three worlds and sustains them.
Modern context
Beyond both the perishable and the imperishable is a third: the highest Person, the supreme self, who enters and sustains the three worlds. This is the turning point of the chapter. The divine is not only the changing world, nor only the unchanging ground, but a living presence beyond both, active in sustaining everything.
