गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

within everything. If this objection is raised, then the author of the sūtras gives the following reply. Sūtra 27 ato 'nantena tathā hi liṅgam ataḥ—therefore; anantena—by the infinite; tathā—so; hi—indeed; liṅgam— evidence. It is so by the infinite. There is evidence. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa There is evidence to support both ideas: that the Supreme Lord is present within everything, and that the Supreme Lord becomes visible to they who meditate on Him. The unlimited Supreme Lord, pleased by His devotees' worship of Him, shows to them His own form. He does this by His inconceivable mercy. That should be accepted. How is this known? The sūtra explains: “There is evidence.” In the Atharva Veda it is said: vijñāna-ghanānanda-ghana-sac-cid-ānandaika-raso bhakti-yoge tiṣṭhati "The Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose sweet form is eternal and full of bliss and knowledge, becomes visible when He is worshiped with devotion." This means that by His mercy the Lord appears before they who worship Him with devotion. In the Nārāyaṇādhyātma it is said: nityāvyakto 'pi bhagavān īkṣate nija-śaktitaḥ tāṁ ṛte paramātmānaṁ kaḥ paśyetām itaṁ prabhum "Although He is always invisible, the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes visible by His own power. Without first obtaining His mercy, who can see Him?"
