The Lord is situated in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. Does this
mean that He has become divided? No. Actually, He is one. The example
is given of the sun: The sun, at the meridian, is situated in its
place. But if one goes for five thousand miles in all directions and
asks, "Where is the sun?" everyone will say that it is shining on his
head.
In the Vedic literature this example is given to show that although He
is undivided, He is situated as if divided. Also it is said in Vedic
literature that one Visnu is present everywhere by His omnipotence,
just as the sun appears in many places to many persons.
When there is creation, He develops all from their original state, and
at the time of annihilation He devours them. The Vedic hymns confirm
the fact that He is the origin of all living entities and the rest of
all. After creation, everything rests in His omnipotence, and after
annihilation everything again returns to rest in Him. These are the
confirmations of Vedic hymns.
