3. The Science of God

God is Omnipresent, meaning He is present everywhere. “I am everywhere...” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.5) God is Omnipotent, meaning He is the greatest. “With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe…” (Lord Krishna, BhagavadGita 10.42) God is Omniscient, meaning He knows the past, present, and the future of everyone. “O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.26) God Is Equal to Everyone “I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.29) God Is the Well-wisher of Everyone “A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 5.29) God is Most Opulent “O mighty conqueror of enemies, there is no end to My divine manifestations. What I have spoken to you is but a mere indication of My infinite opulences.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.40) God is the Supreme Creator “The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.8) “I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8) “Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being – moving or nonmoving – that can exist without Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.39) God is the Origin of Creation “My Self is the very source of creation…” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.5) God is the Supreme Controller “I give heat, and I withhold and send forth the rain.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.19) God is the Supreme Maintainer “I enter into each planet, and by My energy they stay in orbit.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 15.13) God Commands Treating Everyone Equally “A person is considered still further advanced when he regards honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral, mediators, the envious, friends and enemies, the pious and the sinners all with an equal mind.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 6.9) “One who is equal to friends and enemies, who is equipoised in honor and dishonor, heat and cold, happiness and distress, fame and infamy, who is always free from contaminating association, always silent and satisfied with anything, who doesn’t care for any residence, who is fixed in knowledge and who is engaged in devotional service – such a person is very dear to Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 12.1819) God is the Witness of Everything We Do “I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.18) God Appears Lord Krishna appears once every 8.64 billion years in His original form, and millions of times in other transcendental forms. “Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all living entities, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.6)
