In
chapter 9 of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna
explains to Dhananjaya (Arjuna) His real nature and relationship with visible
projections in the world. The Self
expressing through the total vasanas is the creator, who creates the universe. He is the substratum of all activities in and
out of us. Just as the projector in a
movie hall project whatever is in the film (vasanas, just as the light from the projector reflects
the content in the film and is same in all movie halls, the Supreme Self in us is not impacted or attached
to our actions initiated by our vasanas.
The white screen of the movie
hall is the substratum on which the entire story of the movie is projected, but the screen does not
carry the marks of tears, blood or happiness.
Lord
Krishna says He, as the Ever Pure Infinite,
is just the witness of all that
is happening around, but is unattached to it.
If we all perform our activities unattached and dedicated to that
Lord, it will help us in purging our
vasanas and realize the Self within us, thereby not getting impacted from
the day to day activities that we do, just as the projector or screen in a movie
hall.
