Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (6.11) and the Gopāla-tāpanī Upaniṣad (Uttara 97) it is stated: eko devaḥ sarva-bhūteṣu gūḍhaḥ—“The one Supreme Lord lives hidden within all living entities.” In the Chāndogya Upaniṣad (6.2.1) it is stated: ekam evādvitīyaṃ: “The Supreme Lord is one without a second.” In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.10.30) it is stated:

tvam ekaḥ sarva-bhūtānāṃ dehāsv-ātmendriyeśvaraḥ

“You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the controller of everything. The body, life, ego, and senses of every living entity are Your own self.” In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.23) it is stated:

ekas tvam ātmā puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ satyaḥ svayaṃ-jyotir ananta ādyaḥ nityo ‘kṣaro ‘jasra-sukho nirañjanaḥ pūrṇādvayo mukta upādhito ‘mṛtaḥ

“You are the one Supreme Soul, the primeval Supreme Personality, the Absolute Truth—self-manifested, endless, and beginningless. You are eternal and infallible, perfect and complete, without any rival, and free from all material designations. Your happiness can never be obstructed, nor have You any connection with material contamination. Indeed, You are the indestructible nectar of immortality.” In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.55-57) it is stated:

kṛṣṇam enam avehi tvam ātmānam akhilātmanām jagad-dhitāya so ‘py atra dehīvābhāti māyayā

“You should know Kṛṣṇa to be the original Soul of all living entities. For

the benefit of the whole universe, He has, out of His causeless mercy, appeared as an ordinary human being. He has done this by the strength of His internal potency.

vastuto jānatām atra kṛṣṇaṃ sthāsnu cariṣṇu ca bhagavad-rūpam akhilaṃ nānyad vastv iha kiñcana

“Those in this world who understand Lord Kṛṣṇa as He is see all things, whether stationary or moving, as manifest forms of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such enlightened persons recognize no reality apart from the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa.

sarveṣām api vastūnāṃ bhāvārtho bhavati sthitaḥ tasyāpi bhagavān kṛṣṇaḥ kim atad vastu rūpyatām

“The original, unmanifested form of material nature is the source of all material things, and the source of even that subtle material nature is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. What, then, could one ascertain to be separate from Him?”

In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.29) it is stated:

athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya- prasāda-leśānugṛhīta eva hi jānāti tattvaṃ bhagavan-mahimno na cānya eko ‘pi ciraṃ vicinvan

“My Lord, if one is favored by even a slight trace of the mercy of Your lotus feet, he can understand the greatness of Your personality. But those who speculate to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead are unable to know You, even though they continue to study the Vedas for many years.”
