Meaning :

 

The Lord shines upward and is the eye that sees all directions . He has no Lord

beyond Himself and is the only one eternal and stable . He is the in-filling

principle of the material plane who serves as the ornament and splendour of

creation. He is untouched by sorrow and is the destroyer of sorrow.

 

EXPLANATION :

 

1,2.The Lord  in the capacity of the sun god is the one described here .

Through the sun,

the Lord shines upward as the sun rises and ascends the meridian daily . The

path which leads from matter to spirit is called the upward path . Every unit of

existence realizes itself through the awakening of itself from the state of

matter to the state of the spirit, I AM in itself . The sun ball is the one eye

which shines everywhere since everypart of its surface is filled with rays that

create objectivity to itself . This makes us understand that the sun god is the

eye of everyone who sees light .

 

3.The Sun is the lord of every being in the solar system. The in –dweller of

the Sun is the one Sun of all the Suns of the solar system and hence he has no

lord beyond himself .

 

4.The apparent Sun is the objective aspect of the real sun who is the undweller

.. The real sun is stable as the content and background of all the suns .

 

5.Material plane expresses itself through form and dimension while the content

is the Lord himself . Hence the Lord is described as lying across the whole

expanse of the earth.

 

6.The whole material plane is like a jewel to the existence of the Lord.

 

7.In fact the material plane is also the splendour of the Lord that can be shown

as direct proof of the Lord’s splendour to the senses and the mind .

 

8,9.Sorrow belongs to the emotional aspect of the individual. Sorrow exists as

one’s own creation of his relationship with others on the lower planes . The

Lord being the background of all is untouched by the sorrow of anyone . Also he

destroys the sorrow of anyone by meditating upon Him.This is because He offers

his own state to those who meditate upon Him.
