Contained 'self' – Manifest Self Questioner: Please explain:
“Vyaapak ne vyavasthit khode chhe, Divyachakshu eni lhaani maane chhe.'
~ Navneet “The vyavasthit is seeking the one who wants to pervade The divine vision of the Self enjoys the bliss of this’’
~ Navneet Dadashri: What Kaviraj, in the spiritual song (pada), is saying is that ‘vyavasthit is searching for vyaapak (the one who wants to pervade)! The entire world is run by vyavasthit, which continually keeps it vyavasthit (in order). No one can change that. And vyavasthit never makes it avyavasthit (disorderly).
Here, a large 'number' (strong karma) is being divided by a large number (will have strong effect). You may wonder, 'Why does my own son misbehave and cause so much damage?' Hey, you! Won't you need as heavy a 'number' (karma) to divide with, in order to cancel out your heavy 'number' (karma cause)? The heavier the number (cause of karma), the heavier the 'divider' (effect), and the lighter the number (karma), the lighter the divider'. But the division does take place.
Questioner: Does vyaapak mean Ishwar (God)?
Dadashri: Here, in the spiritual song (pada) the word vyaapak means something else. The word sarva-vyaapak (allpervading; omnipresent) is different and this word is different. Just like bhaavak, chetak, there is vyaapak. The Atma (Soul) is vyaapya (has the property of being all-pervasive) and the inside is filled with vyaapako. These vyaapako make the Atma vyaapya (all pervasive). There are all kinds of vyaapako sitting
