"Basis of Our Existence"

 What exactly is the basis of our existence in this mysterious Universe? In fact, there is absolutely nothing to support us, except "Divine Grace"! The Universe is ever-expanding and moving fast toward the Pole Star. Each and every object in the universe is moving farther and farther apart and this may create an unimaginable situation in the near future. This aspect of uncertainty is well  known from the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods and other havocs creating misery for all living beings. However, it is surprising that Bhagavan Sri Krishna says "By entering the earth, I sustain the beings- living and non-living". Further, He, the Lord says that, He digests food as Vaishvanara agni deva in our body. Moreover, the the basis of all that exists is the 'consciousness' and that 'Consciousness' is none else but the Lord only!/ The Life-force, prana, is nothing but the power of the Lord to sustain all living beings! He only enters the earth to sustain all beings. (Ch. 15. verse 14)T. here is nothing that is not supported by Him. The Bhagavad-Gita gives a clear idea about all these. The food consumed by the living beings is digested by the Lord seated within as Vaishvanara. (Ch. 15. 15).

    One may find the statements made by the Lord here a little confusing! On the one hand, He has entered it and sustains it. On the other, there is nothing permanent here and everything is subject to deterioration and finally disappearance! How can something that is sustained by Him can finally be discarded? He, the Lord is 'ananta' (endless) and 'achyuta' (imperishable)!  The answer to this id simple. Once the Lord created and entered it (tad srushtvaa tadevaani pravishat), it is the quality of the substance that acts and reacts, not the Lord! We normally mistake the substance for its quality and never realize the fact that the quality is an attribute that is subject to change! All living beings are divine, but the tamas, rajas, and the sattva guna make them appear as such and such. We note the quality and forget the subject itself! Guna attributed is subject to change. Is this not like the colorless crystal  that reflects and refracts whatever (color) falls on it?

  A knowledgeable person, learned one, jnyani, will not get confused as to the true nature of the Self and its attributes.
