MEANING :

 

Meditate the Lord as the origin of everthing and  the one who stirs everthing.He

is the Divine Lord shining  and the origin of all wealth . He is the

implementation,cause,doer and undoer of all . He is difficult to be understood

and lays concealed in us as the cave with in(conscience).

 

EXPLANATION :

1.Everone has his origin through nature and is clothed in matter while the Lord

is the origin of nature itself.

2,3.The synthesis of the manyness in creation brings forth the created

individuals.The analysis into the many elements makes the creation possible.The

Lord serves as the stir that causes both the synthesis and analysis through the

implementation of His stir.It includes the centripetal and the centrifugal

activities .Thus his stir is the very cause of the creation,existence and

reabsorption of everything.The Lord pervade everything in the form of nature

that produces the variety, form,number, measure, volume,etc. Hence every point

of the background of creation is potential or self-brilliant or the nature that

produces everything.

4.The creation itself is the wealth of the Lord and He is the origin of all this

wealth. Individuals require wealth whereas the Lord stands as the origin of his

own wealth.

5.Being both the ultimate background and the pervading principle of everyone,He

is the supreme Lord who forms the Law and stands as the implementation of it

through the individual behaviour of  everyone.Everyone strives to achieve his

own point, while the result is the achievement of the law and its

implementation.

6.Everyone in the creation works with his own materials and persons as

implements.Himself stands as the implements to work out the will of  God .Thus

the Lord Himself stands as the power of implementation which manifests as

persons and implements according to the need.

7.Living beings follow the sequence of cause and effects in the creation . The

Lord is the cause of the whole creation  and hence . He is the background cause

of all the existence and the karma of the individuals.

8.With the individual will,everyone is the doer of hislot but as the individual

will, theLord is doer of all through everyone

9.For everything undoing follows doing inthis creation.The very sequence of the

whole creation forms the succession of doing  and undoing just as the flower

finds its undoing in the fruit and the fruits finds its culminating in the

undoing which we call its disappearance

10.Understanding is done through themind and with the intellect and reasoning,

since the mind,intellect and reasoning emerge from  nature.Nature emerges from

the Lord and therefore it is difficult for the mind and intellect and reasoning

to arrive at the Lord through a process of understanding.

11.Every individual has his counterparts which make up the individual, while the

Lord stands as the centre of all these .He is in us like the one concealed in

the cave which we call the conscience
