भगवद् गीता अध्याय 13 श्लोक 16

बहिरन्तश्च भूतानामचरं चरमेव च।
सूक्ष्मत्वात्तदविज्ञेयं दूरस्थं चान्तिके च तत्।।13.16।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 13.16)
।।13.16।।वे परमात्मा सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंके बाहरभीतर परिपूर्ण हैं और चरअचर प्राणियोंके रूपमें भी वे ही हैं एवं दूरसेदूर तथा नजदीकसेनजदीक भी वे ही हैं। वे अत्यन्त सूक्ष्म होनेसे जाननेका विषय नहीं हैं।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Furthermore Lord Krishna explains that His manifestation  as  Parabrahma  is
the source of the brahman or spiritual substratum  pervading  all  existence
and is within and without all living entities  both  moving  and  stationary
and all that is animate as well as inanimate. This is so  even  as  gold  is
exists in a bracelet, a necklace and a ring equally  or  that  water  exists
within unlimited waves and countless drops of rain. Parabrahma alone is  the
sole cause of everything, all effects in inumerable  and  variegated  forms;
yet  so  subtle  that  it  has  no  material  form  or  qualities.   It   is
incomprehensible and inconceivable being incapable to be understood  by  the
mind as  well  imperceptible  to  the  senses.  Therefore  to  the  ignorant
Parabrahma is very far as millions of miles away  being  transcendental  and
far  beyond  prakriti  or  the  material   substratum   pervading   physical
existence. Yet to the spiritually intelligent it  very  close  and  near  as
within ones own heart in its manifestation as the atma  or  immortal  soul.
The Iso Upanisad V beginning tad  ejati  tan  naijati  tad  dure  tadvantike
means: The Supreme Lord moves and moves not; He is far away and  very  near;
He is within and without. Ejati means move, naijati  means  moves  not.  The
words tadvantike should be divided as  tat  meaning  He  the  Supreme  Lord,
v meaning also and antike meaning very near. Thus it  is  clearly  confirmed
that Supreme Lord is always present.

Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary




The word bahih means outside, this refers  to  the  atma  or  immortal  soul
which still exists even when  it  departs  a  physical  body  at  death  and
abandons the subtle body along with  the  five  elements  of  earth,  water,
fire, air and ether  although  it  is  present  within  them  as  well.   As
confirmed  in  the  Chandogya  Upanisad  VI.VII.VII  beginning  sa  ya  esho
animaitad  means:  The  source  of  the  brahman  or  spiritual   substratum
pervading all existence is  Parabrahma  the  Supreme  Lord  Krishna  who  is
eternally existing in everything by His transcendental  potency.  By  nature
it is acaram or stationary and unmoving but it is caram  or  moving  in  its
embodied  state.  Due  to  being  supra-subtle  without  material,   mundane
qualities it is avijneyam or incomprehensible. The  atma  or  immortal  soul
possesses all powers and knowledge  although  it  occupies  and  inhabits  a
bodily  form.  Because  it  is  subatomic  it  can  not  be   perceived   by
technological methods and remains  a  mystery.  Therefore  it  is  extremely
difficult for worldly people of logic and  reason  to  understand  it  being
separate and distinct from the physical body. The  words  durastham  cantike
ca tat means that the atma although present within their own bodies is  very
far away from those who are arrogant, ostentatious, irreverent, etc. who  do
not possesses the 20 virtues of righteousness given in verses 8 to  12  such
as humility, reverence and nonviolence. But contrarily it is extremely  near
to those dear ones who possess the 20 virtues.  This  is  because  these  20
virtues facilitate a living entities  ability  to  perceive  internally  and
realize the atma.
