14. God as the Essence of All: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.8 by Swami Mukundananda
In this episode, Swamiji begins his discourse on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 8, where Shree Krishna reveals how the Divine permeates everyday experience—manifesting as the taste of water, the light of the sun and moon, the sacred syllable Om in the Vedic mantras, the sound in space, and the ability in human beings. This teaching invites seekers to recognize God not as distant, but as the very essence enlivening all phenomenayoutube.com.
Swamiji illustrates “the ability in humans” with a Vedic story—when the devas became proud, God withdrew their power to reveal its true source. He explains how our talents are granted and sustained by the Divine, and can be withdrawn, guiding us to humility and gratitude in practice. Reflecting on the astonishing complexity of creation and human consciousness, he emphasizes that perceiving God’s presence in the simplest realities transforms remembrance into living devotionyoutube.com.
