Why did Shri Krishna show the entire creation as His body in Vishvaruupam?

Shri Bharath Krishna asked: We all know that Shri Krishna showed Vishvaruupam to Arjuna. It is said that the entire creation is shown as the body of Shri Krishna in that Vishvaruupam. When I was thinking about this, I got confused. Why Shri Krishna showed the entire creation as His body? If so, does this not mean that God is omnipresent also? But it is very clear from Your knowledge that God is not omnipresent. Now I am getting this doubt whether that Vishvaruupam of Shri Krishna contained the entire creation? If not, what was exactly shown as Vishvaruupam and why was it shown like that only? Please explain it to me Swami?]

Swami Replied:- You appear to somebody wearing an external woollen coat. Does that mean that you are pervading all over the coat? It only shows that you are the basis for the coat. Similarly, the cosmic vision shows that God is the basis for this entire cosmos. Krishna is maintaining the cosmos as God Vishnu. Before giving the cosmic vision, the cosmos did not appear and only Krishna appeared. After creating cosmos on Him, it showed that God created the cosmos as God Brahmaa. After maintaining it for some time, it was withdrawn into the body of Krishna and Krishna appeared again, which shows that God withdrew the cosmos into Himself as God Shiva. The meaning of this cosmic vision is to say that God created, maintained and destroyed this cosmos and that single God is the unimaginable God (ParaBrahman) whose human form is God Krishna. All the faces of this vision show the faces of various energetic and human incarnations of the same God. God need not be present all over the cosmos because by His omniscience, He knows every bit of the cosmos and by His omnipotence, He controls every bit of the cosmos. If you say that God is physically omnipresent, it means that God exists in bad demons also and then the demonic actions impress the doership to God also. Hence, omnipresence is in the effective sense and not in the physical sense.
