B.G 15.03 and 04
The form of this tree cannot be perceived here, neither its end nor its beginning, nor the way it is established. One must cut down this well-rooted banyan tree with the strong weapon of detachment.
Then, one should seek that ultimate goal, reaching which, one does not return again by calling - "I surrender to that primeval person from whom the ancient creation has emanated".
Gīta Tātparya 15.03 and 04
Testimonial is provided elaborating on the Peepul tree analogy, emphasizing - "By knowledge alone, one should discern and seek Lord Viṣṇu. Surrender to him, the original source, as this world is a manifestation of his divine part."
"The world is like the Peepul tree, changing and fickle by nature. It is eternal, driven by the flow of its own power and knowledge.
Lord Vishnu, the eternal destroyer of all views, is properly and distinctly understood through the statement 'not this, not this', beginning from the unmanifest.
By knowledge alone, one should discern and seek Lord Keśava, who is none other than Lord Viṣṇu. Surrender to him, the original source, as this world is a manifestation of his divine part.
Indeed, the entire collection of living beings is headed by Brahma, Rudra, and Indra."
