Remembrance forgetfulness and incalculable beginnings with no end in site .

In the Bhagavad Gita, the material manifestation has been compared to a universal tree with its roots upwards and branches down .

A hint is given of a trees reflection situated besides a lake .

The leaves and branches serve different purposes, some elevating , as indicated in the Vedas , some entangleing . No one can work out when this tree first took root , no one knows how widely its branches spread ,  and no one knows if it will ever stop existing in future times .

Thus, the expression eternally conditioned soul is born .

But on the other hand, Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita says the following. 15.15

sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo
mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca
vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedānta-kṛd veda-vid eva cāham

I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge, and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of the Vedas.

To understand the Vedas and its extensive complexity is not so easy , but here Krishna says,  I will help you understand the Vedas , I will help you fix your mind on spiritual life,  and I will help you forget your attractions to the illusions of the temporary material senses , and remember your original spiritual nature .

Krishna says I am the knower of the Vedas and its compiler.

Thus, Divinity is a logical rational personality who communicates with those who want to communicate with Him .
