Queen Kuntī knew that in reality Kṛṣṇa was neither her nephew nor an ordinary family member of her paternal house. She knew perfectly well that He was the primeval Lord, who lives in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. Thus she addressed Him as "the supreme controller, without beginning or end, the all-pervasive one." Here we see how Lord Kṛṣṇa's all-pervasive Supersoul feature is expanded in the hearts of all creatures. In accordance with each living entity's state of consciousness, Lord Kṛṣṇa creates many kinds of bodies – bodies of human beings, animals, birds, plants, insects, and so on. And in the heart of all these innumerable bodily forms, the Lord resides with the living being as the Supersoul. The Supersoul in every body gives intelligence to the individual soul according to his capacity for understanding, and He manifest Himself to the individual soul according to his degree of austerity, penance, and spiritual realization. According to good or bad karma, the Supersoul directs the wandering of all living entities, who are seated within the bodily machine made of the material energy. One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies, and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees, and he therefore gradually advances toward spiritual perfection.
