MEANING:

Meditate the Lord as the unfoldment and the stability of creation.He is beyond

change and forms the first measure and the first seed of creation.He is the

unspendable one,the meaning and purpose of the creation and the one who is

beyond and the meaning and purpose.He is also the great treasure house, the

great wealth and the great enjoyment.

EXPLANATION :

1.Everything unfolds in terms  of space and time.All the other stages of

creation are his own unfoldment.

2.As everthing unfolds he stands as the stable  background

3.As everthing occurs and moves on his surface,he stands as the background which

moves not.Since everything appears from and disappears into Himself, he forms

the very measure of everything in terms of space and time.

4.The Lord is the seed of everything that  germinates into existence again and

again.In this capacity,he is called Prajapathi, the Lord of cycles.

5.That which is germinated through the seed always pre-existed as the background

of the cycles of germination.Hence he is the one unspendable source of the seed

and the germination.

6.Since everyone finds a purpose for himself and a purpose of the other things

to himself,the Lord plays the role of the meaning and purpose of everyone and

everthing.Ultimately the whole creation has its purpose in its own

accomplishment.

7.Once again it is beyond the purpose and meaning of any one individual and

hence the background is beyond purpose and meaning

8.His creation is his own treasure house, while he is the eternal  treasure of

his own creation.

9.He is the in-dweller who enjoys the whole creation.Still, he has neither

attachment nor involvement.The enjoyment is as if inevitable with out intention.

10.The Lord is wealthy of his creation beyond any-one in his creation.He is the

wealth of his creation individually and collectively
