अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम् | भूतभर्तृ च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च

ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕಾದ ಆ ತತ್ತ್ವವು ಜೀವಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅವಿಭಕ್ತವಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ವಿಭಕ್ತವಾಗಿರುವಂತೆ ತೋರುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದು ಭೂತಗಳನ್ನು ಪೋಷಿಸುವ, ನಾಶಮಾಡುವ ಮತ್ತು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯಾಗಿದೆ.
And the Knowable, though undivided, appears to be existing as divided in all beings, and It is the sustainer of all beings as also the devourer and originator.
ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮವು ಮೂಲತಃ ಅವಿಭಕ್ತವಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ವಿವಿಧ ಜೀವಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಭಿನ್ನವಾಗಿ ಕಾಣುತ್ತದೆ. ಆಕಾಶವು ಒಂದೇ ಆಗಿದ್ದರೂ, ಪಾತ್ರೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಆಕಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣುವಂತೆ ಇದು. ಈ ತಿಳಿಯಬೇಕಾದ ತತ್ತ್ವವು ಸಮಸ್ತ ಜೀವಿಗಳನ್ನು ಪೋಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಪ್ರಳಯಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ತನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಲೀನಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಉದ್ಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ, ಸ್ಥಿತಿ, ಲಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಮೂಲ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿದೆ.
Brahman must be regarded as That which supports? swallows up and also creates all beings? in the three forms of Brahma who creates the world of names anf forms? Vishnu who preserves or sustains? and Rudra who destroys. It is undivided in the various bodies. It is like ether. It is allpervding like space (Akasa). It is indivisible and the One? but It seems to divide Itself in forms and appears as all the separate existing things and beings. It is essentially unbroken. Yet? It is? as it were? divided among all beings.It devours this world during the cosmic dissolution. It generates it at the time of the origin of the next age. It supports all beings during the period of sustenance of this world.Just as fire is hidden in the wood? so also Brahman is hidden in all bodies. Just as the one space appears to be different through the limiting adjuncts (pot? house? etc.) so also the one indivisible Brahman appears to be different through the limiting adjuncts (the body? etc.). (Cf.XVIII.20)An objector says The knowable Brahman? the Knower of the field? is allpervading. It exists everywhere and yet It is not perceived. Therefore It must be of the nature of darkness or Tamas.The answer is No. It cannot be.What? then It is the Light of Lights.
