<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- April 3, 1974, Bombay|Morning Walk -- April 3, 1974, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Now here is one important thing: śaśi-sūrya-netram. The śaśi, the moon, and the sun are the two eyes of God. Now in Brahma-saṁhitā it is also confirmed yac-cakṣur eṣa savitā sakala-grahāṇām. So in the Upaniṣads it is said, "When God sees, then you can see." So this... When the sunrise is there, that means when God sees, you can see. In the darkness you cannot see. And still, you are proud of your eyes. Yes. Without God seeing, you cannot see. And still, these rascals are proud of their eyes. "I can... Can you show me?" How you can see? First of all you have to see through the Supreme. And another significance is that you cannot hide yourself from the seeing of the Supreme. You cannot make anything hiding. Because even in the womb there is sunshine, sunlight. So He is seeing there. Apart from being the Paramātmā, from materially also, His eyes are always there. So you cannot do anything hiding. That is not possible.</p>

<p>All are frightened.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel:</p>
:amī hi tvāṁ sura-saṅghā viśanti

<p>Prabhupāda: So everyone is worshiping Him.</p>

<p>Prabhupāda: They do not understand. If you go on simply reading...</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: But you say read, so I read. You order me, I stop.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Shall I read again?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that line?</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: There are so many lines. I will again. Aneka divya... Divi-sūrya-sahasrasya bhaved yugapad utthitā...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ah, this is the comparison now, that divi, "In the sky, if there were thousands of suns at a time, then the brilliance of the virāṭ-rūpa could be understood." This is an example.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: He saw everyone in him.</p>

<p>Dr. Patel: Then he got frightened and then he...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The varieties, varieties. The varieties, he is seeing. That is the vision of the Vaiṣṇavas. The Vaiṣṇavas also know that everything is one, but he sees the varieties.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: I will read again from this.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. (end)</p>

<p>Girirāja: No, 23.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel:</p>

<p>"All are getting frightened of You, even myself."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, the thing is that bahu-vaktram bahūdaram. That means bahu persons, many persons, all persons. What is that?</p>
<p>Girirāja: "Rūpam-form."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Form. First thing is form. Although virāṭ, but it includes so many forms. Then?</p>
<p>Girirāja: (reads synonyms to:) "bāhu-arms..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Arms, He is exhibiting many. The same formula. Eko bahu syām. (indistinct) Then?</p>
<p>Girirāja: (Continues reading synonyms to:) "bahu-daṁṣṭrā-..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "Many bellies" means a personal form. Daṁṣṭrā karālām.</p>
<p>Girirāja: (finishes synonyms) "Translation: O mighty-armed one, all the planets with their demigods are disturbed at seeing Your many faces, eyes, arms, bellies and legs, and Your terrible teeth, and as they are disturbed, so am I."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Kāla-rūpa, kāla-rūpa. This is called kāla-rūpa. Then? Yes.</p>
