all beings have their birth in these. So, I am the source and dissolution
of the whole universe.These, My inferior Nature (Prakriti; and My superior
Nature (Prakriti) matter (Kshetra) and spirit (Kshetrajna), are the womb
of all creatures. Because my Prakriti is the womb of all beings, I am the
origin and the end of the whole universe. That is to say, through this twofold
Prakriti, I, the omniscient Isvara, am the cause of the universe. Wherefore,
There is naught else higher than I, O Dhananjaya: in Me all this is ,woven
as clusters of gems On a string. There is no other cause besides Me, the
Supreme Lord I alone am the cause of the universe. Wherefore all beings
as well as the whole of this universe are woven in Me, as a cloth in the
warp, clusters of beads on a string. The Divine Principle penetrating the
Universe. What are Thy attributes showing that the whole of this is woven
in Thee ?Listen: |
