(omniscient), અાંતયવશમી.The word Antaryami is a Sanskrit word. It is comprised of Antar+YaamiAnatar meaning ‘inside’ or ‘in the middle’Yaami is derived from the root word Yam meaning forbearance/control.therefore the word Antaryami means inner witness and the one who controls from within

“ One should recognise only Lord Purushottam as being the creator of all and omniscient (antaryami). Having such an understanding along with determination in the Murti of manifest (pratyaksh) God, is the cause of developing an extraordinary love for God"

‘Hastamalkavat’:

Anvay form: Anvay is one form of the Lord – the lustre. Through His light that exists in all, thus He knows everything within us and about us. This lustre (light) exists in every atom throughout the multiverse. This is the Lord being Antaryami through his Anvay form

How is God able to know our innermost

thoughts and about us all?

Gurudev Swamibapa says

that “God is Omniscient,

meaning He is the one

who knows everything at

all times.”

The Lord himself explains that He is Antaryami within the

Vachanamrut

The very same God who presides within this Satsang is present omnisciently within all souls, and is even the cause of Akshar-brahm.(Vachanamrut Ahmedabad Section Chapter 6)

I know about all the activities of the three periods of time; past, present and future. Whilst remaining seated here, I know about everything.(Vachanamrut Jetalpur Section Chapter 5)
