Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 14


Sanskrit:

स त्वं विधत्स्वाखिललोकपालावयं यदर्थास्तव पादमूलम् ।समागतास्ते बहिरन्तरात्मन्किं वान्यविज्ञाप्यमशेषसाक्षिण: ॥ १४ ॥

ITRANS:

sa tvaṁ vidhatsvākhila-loka-pālāvayaṁ yad arthās tava pāda-mūlamsamāgatās te bahir-antar-ātmankiṁ vānya-vijñāpyam aśeṣa-sākṣiṇaḥ

Translation:

My Lord, we, the various demigods, the directors of this universe, have come to Your lotus feet. Please fulfill the purpose for which we have come. You are the witness of everything, from within and without. Nothing is unknown to You, and therefore it is unnecessary to inform You again of anything.

Purport:

As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (13.3), kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata. The individual souls are proprietors of their individual bodies, but the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the proprietor of all bodies. Since He is the witness of everyone’s body, nothing is unknown to Him. He knows what we need. Our duty, therefore, is to execute devotional service sincerely, under the direction of the spiritual master. Kṛṣṇa, by His grace, will supply whatever we need in executing our devotional service. In the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, we simply have to execute the order of Kṛṣṇa and guru. Then all necessities will be supplied by Kṛṣṇa, even if we do not ask for them.
