Transcript of Bhakti-Shastri class on this verse by Chaitanya Charan
Now Krishna will speak how everything is but a spark of His splendor.
Bg 10.41
yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ
śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā
tat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁ
mama tejo-’ṁśa-sambhavam
Word for word:
yat yat — whatever; vibhūti — opulences; mat — having; sattvam — existence; śrī–mat — beautiful; ūrjitam — glorious; eva — certainly; vā — or; tat tat — all those; eva — certainly; avagaccha — must know; tvam — you;mama — My; tejaḥ — of the splendor; aṁśa — a part; sambhavam — born of.
Translation:
Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ, so wherever one sees Vibhuti,
śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā, śrīmad is beautiful, ūrjitam eva vā that which is beautiful and glorious
all such things are mama tejo-’ṁśa-sambhavam, it is manifesting Mama Teja Amsa, a spark of My effulgence.
If we are attracted to only spark, then sparks will soon end and you are left with nothing so instead of attracted towards sparks we let the sparks reminded us about the whole then redirect our attraction to the whole. If we are attracted towards spark we will have infinite longing so instead of that we should have longing for the infinite. One place all attractive things are present.
