Verse 10 of 29
SB 2.8.10

स चापि यत्र पुरुषो विश्वस्थित्युद्भवाप्ययः मुक्त्वात्ममायां मायेशः शेते सर्वगुहाशयः

sa cāpi yatra puruṣo viśva-sthity-udbhavāpyayaḥ muktvātma-māyāṁ māyeśaḥ śete sarva-guhā-śayaḥ

Synonyms

saḥHe; caalso; apias He is; yatrawhere; puruṣaḥthe Personality of Godhead; viśvathe material worlds; sthitimaintenance; udbhavacreation; apyayaḥannihilation; muktvāwithout being touched; ātma-māyāmown energy; māyeśaḥthe Lord of all energies; śetedoes lie on; sarva-guhā-śayaḥone who lies in everyone's heart..

Translation

Please also explain the Personality of Godhead, who lies in every heart as the Supersoul and as the Lord of all energies, but is untouched by His external energy.

Purport

Undoubtedly the form of the Lord who was seen by Brahmā must be transcendental, otherwise how could He simply look upon the creative energy without being touched? It is understood also that the same puruṣa lies in the heart of every living entity. This also requires proper explanation.
