Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.1.31
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
According to Vedic assertion, this material creation is the result of the Lord’s casting a glance over the material energy, which is described herein as the most alluring illusory energy. The conditioned souls who are allured by such materialism should know that the material temporary creation is simply an imitation of the reality and that those who are captivated by such alluring glances of the Lord are put under the direction of the controller of sinners called Yamarāja. The Lord smiles affectionately, displaying His teeth. The intelligent person who can grasp these truths about the Lord becomes a soul fully surrendered unto Him.
Chandāṁsi means Vedas. Śiraḥ means the brahma-randhram. Sneha-kalāḥ means particles of affection for sons etc. Dvijāni means teeth. Neuter case is poetic license. Duranta-sarga means saṁsāra which is hard to cross.
- What in my life feels overwhelming today that I could see as a single glance of the Supreme?
- How might it change my anxiety to remember that the entire creation is His passing look?
