Category:Krsna Is Present in Everyone's Heart As Paramatma
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, expanded by His inconceivable energy, dwells within the heart of every living entity as the Paramātmā or Supersoul. In this localized feature, the Lord acts as the supreme witness, the source of intelligence, and the ultimate guide for both the conditioned and the liberated souls. By understanding this divine presence, a devotee learns to see Kṛṣṇa everywhere, developing a profound sense of respect for all living beings and realizing the goal of the yoga system.
- The All-Pervading Witness: Although Lord Kṛṣṇa is a single individual, He expands Himself into unlimited forms to reside in the hearts of all species as the impartial observer and Supersoul.
- Source of Knowledge and Memory: As the indwelling guide, Kṛṣṇa is the origin of a person's remembrance, knowledge, and even forgetfulness, providing impetus according to the soul's desires and past actions.
- The Distinction of Identity: While the Lord resides within the body of every living being—including animals—there is a clear distinction between the individual soul (the worker) and the Supersoul (the master).
- The Perfection of Vision: A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is considered a perfect seer because they recognize the presence of the Lord in everyone's heart, which leads to the highest stage of trance and faultless yoga.

- Krsna is present in everyone's heart, localized. This is impersonal expansion. Just like sunshine is impersonal expansion of the sun rays, so similarly, Brahman effulgence is the impersonal expansion of Krsna's bodily rays
- Krsna is there, everyone's heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati (BG 18.61). Krsna is not far away. But you have to search out where is Krsna within your heart. That is called yoga

- There are different kinds of bodies, and different owners of the bodies. Because each individual soul has his individual capacity of lording it over, there are different bodies. But the Supreme also is present in them as the controller. BG 1972 purports
