Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 18, Verse 61 https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/18/verse/61/
श्वर: सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति |
भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया || 61||
īśhvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛid-deśhe ‘rjuna tiṣhṭhati
bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā
common translation: The Supreme Lord dwells in the hearts of all living beings, O Arjun. According to their karmas, He directs the wanderings of the souls, who are seated on a machine made of material energy.
But the word YANTRA does not necessarily alaways mean a machine, it can be a contraption, and a YANTRA can be one of such imagery below, usually engraved on copper plates
BG 18:61 says we are “seated as on a machine[yantra] made of material energy”, and many have interpreted this to mean the human body is the yantra, and our soul is seated within (along with the supersoul connection)
But what if in fact the PLANET is the Yantra? We are placed on the planet, and the planet is the Yantra… our bodies are also made of the material energy, but the planet itself may be the YANTRA being talked about here? Something to consider
