  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.
