326. Pratishthitah -Everything in the world depends upon something else

to serve as its cause. Since all things that we perceive and experience

in the world are all effects, they have their own causes, and the

effects must necessarily depend upon the cause for their very

existence. The Supreme Lord is the One uncaused Cause with reference to

whom everything is only an effect. Since He is thus the ultimate Cause,

He is not depending upon anything other than Himself. This self-

established Reality is indicated by the term Pratishthitah.
