Knowing the Lord (Mundaka Upaniṣad #17)

The Lord doesn't directly get in contact with the material energy, but at the same time, the whole material creation rests on Him. Everything depends on Him, but He doesn't depend on anything, therefore, He is the Supreme abode. He is situated in the spiritual sky and never comes in contact with matter, but at the same time, He becomes present through the reflection of His energy as Lord Garbhodakasayi Vishnu and Ksirodakasayi Vishnu, just as the sun reflected on a pot of water and then on the walls of a room.The infinite Lord can simultaneously permeate all material universes, while the infinitesimal soul can permeate just a single material body. Just as the Lord is present in the material world as a reflection, the pure devotee can see himself also present as a reflection of his original consciousness, reflected in the three divisions of the false ego and permeating the body, senses, and mind.
