6.4.34
yaḥ prākṛtairjñānapathairjanānāṃ yathāśayaṃ dehagato vibhāti /
yathānilaḥ pārthivamāśrito guṇaṃ sa īśvaro me kurutāṃ manoratham //
D. _Note_. The dispute referred to in the previous verse is explained here. Some say there is Iswara different from Me; some say He is not different from Me. Both these views cannot be predicated of one and the same thing with regard to its essential nature, something which is not of the nature of the world, which is one and the same, that is to be recognised as the bestower of the fruits of Guna and Karma, as the most beloved of all rewarding each according to his desert and as one absolutely perfect. 34. May that Supreme Ruler grant my wish who abides in the body as Antaryamin and still appears in different forms to those that contemplate Him, following the order of the courses of devotion determined by their past tendencies, just as the wind bears different smell or form according to its association with the quality of _Prithivi_ (various flowers or dust)!
