antaḥ deheá¹£u - within the bodies (in the cores of the hearts); bhÅ«tÄnÄm - of all living entities; ÄtmÄ - the Supersoul; Äste - resides; hariḥ - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; Ä«Å›varaḥ - the Lord or director; sarvam - all; tat-dhiṣṇyam - His place of residence; Ä«ká¹£adhvam - try to see; evam - in this way; vaḥ - with you; toá¹£itaḥ - satisfied; hi - indeed; asau - that Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead is situated as the Supersoul within the cores of the hearts of all living entities, whether moving or nonmoving, including men, birds, animals, trees and, indeed, all living entities. Therefore you should consider every body a residence or temple of the Lord. By such vision you will satisfy the Lord. You should not angrily kill these living entities in the forms of trees.
As stated in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ and confirmed by all the Vedic scriptures, Ä«Å›varaḥ sarva-bhÅ«tÄnÄá¹ há¹›d-deÅ›e ’rjuna tiá¹£á¹hati: the Supersoul is situated within everyone’s heart. Therefore, since everyone’s body is the residence of the Supreme Lord, one should not destroy the body because of unnecessary envy. That will dissatisfy the Supersoul. Soma told the PracetÄs that because they had tried to satisfy the Supersoul, now they should not displease Him.
