My Lord is in all things and all beings, and he is beyond understanding. He is Krishna, Lord who swallowed all and remade all in sport. He churned ambrosia from the ocean and gave it to the gods. He is Achyuta, Ananta, Govinda, reclining on a serpent couch.

He is beyond the senses, a body of consciousness. He is the form in all the things and life in all the beings present at all times and all places yet apart from them all, if you can attain detachment, you too can reach him.
