Bhagvad Gita
Chapter 15 - Verse 6

न तद्भासयते सूर्यो न शशाङ्को न पावकः ।
यद्गत्वा न निवर्तन्ते तद्धाम परमं मम ॥

There we find the timeless being which is not illumined by sun or moon or fire (but is itself the light of the presence of the eternal Purusha); having gone thither they return not; that is the highest eternal status of My Being.

Translation by Anilbaran Roy
Message of the Gita

नारायणेवेदं सर्वम्
नारायण परब्रह्म परम्
नारायण परं ब्रह्म
नारायण पुरतः
नारायण उत्तरतः।

Narayana is all this.
Narayana is beyond the highest Brahman.
Narayana is the highest Brahman.
Narayana is in front.
Narayana is in beyond.

Bhagvad Gita
Chapter 7 - Verse 9,10

पुण्यो गन्धः पृथिव्यां च तेजश्चास्मि विभावसौ ।
जीवनं सर्वभूतेषु तपश्चास्मि तपस्विषु ॥

I am pure scent in earth and energy of light in fire; I am life in all existences, I am the ascetic force of those who do askesis.

बीजं मां सर्वभूतानां विद्धि पार्थ सनातनम् ।
बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम् ॥

Know me to be the eternal seed of all existences, O son of Pritha. I am the intelligence of the intelligent, the energy of the energetic.

यदादित्यगतं तेजो जगद्भासयतेऽखिलम् ।

I have entered into this form of earth (and am the spirit of its material force) and sustain by My might these multitudes. I am the godhead of Soma who by the rasa (the sap in the earth-mother) nourishes all plants and trees.
