MEANING:

Meditate the Lord as Jeeva or the permanent atom who leads the mind through

humility.Himself standing as the onlooker and witness.He is known as God

Immanent, the possessor of infinite valour. The Lord is ocean of such jeevas and

stands as the spirit of infinity unto eternity lying on the  surface of the

ocean and making the ocean as the end of all jeevas

EXPLANATION:

1.Jeeva is the unchanging permanent unit which stands as the living being with

out undergoing any change. It is next to the Lord’s presence in everyone of

us.

2.It is the one who leads through various birds and the various incidents

according to the desires of the mind. It makes the mind learn through experience

to practice humaility, to realise the Lord in all

3.It gives the training to the mind while it stands aloof of the involvement of

the mind.Hence it works not only as the onlooker but also as the witness to

register everything of the mind.

4.The jeeva is the fact a storehouse of the Lord Himself in an immanent

fashion.The mind has to feel it and learn to experience theLord of Immanence to

know the same Lord as the Lord of transcendence and afterwards as omnipresence

5.The Jeeva is the storehouse of all the energies that contribute to the valour

of the energy centres in the constitution.

6.It is the ocean which leads the individual existence to the ocean of eternity

which is the abode of the one spirit from which the individual droplets of

spirits emerge and into which they return . The Lord is lying as the one

presence on the surface of this ocean. He keeps this ocean of one existence as

the end of the individual existence.
