Chapter 10 • Verse 21 →The Yoga of Divine Glories
Adityanam aham vishnu jyotisham ravir amsuman, maricir marutam asmi nakshatranam aham shashi

Among the Adityas I am Vishnu; among luminaries I am the radiant sun; among the Maruts I am Marichi; among the stars I am the moon. The Lord identifies Himself with the most glorious representative of each cosmic category — the teaching is that wherever excellence and splendour exist, God is present there.

  • •The Lord manifests as the most excellent expression in every category
  • •Recognising divine splendour in nature is a form of worship
  • •The sun and moon are cosmic expressions of divine radiance

Yad aditya-gatam tejo jagad bhasayate 'khilam, yac candramasi yac cagnau tat tejo viddhi mamakam
