न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् | भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावन: || 5 || |

Commentary:
Lord Krishna urges Arjuna to comprehend the divine manifestation of His mystical power of Yoga. This power is called Maya, a divine illusion that veils the true nature of reality. Within this illusion, an ironical paradox unfolds: humans are led to believe that the entirety of creation is somehow separate from God and that His presence is not glaringly evident in all aspects of existence.
God’s Divine Yogic power of Maya intricately veils the realities that are taken for granted. Our senses, meticulously designed to perceive the most tangible and gross elements of nature, fail to unravel the subtleties and intricacies that lie beneath the surface. Within the physical body, all the real functions reside behind the facades of appearances—concealed within the complex structures of the skeletal framework, the intricate nervous system, and the elaborate circulatory systems. While emotions and thoughts pulsate with real effects, they remain discreetly hidden from plain sight, prompting us to recognize the inadequacy of relying solely on what is immediately visible.
The divine illusion gracefully extends beyond the confines of the physical realm to the macrocosm. The genuine workings of the entire creation unfold behind the curtains, leading us to a profound realization – nothing is as it seems! The observable world and our perceptions of reality are not an accurate reflection of the ultimate truth.
