The ‘inner spirit’, though one, manifests through different objects in different manner. The unity underlying all objects in the manifested universe can be grasped only by dwelling on the ‘inner spirit’. This is being described now.
Agnir yathaiko bhuvanam pravishto roopam roopam pratiroopo babhoova
Ekastatha sarvabhootantaratma roopam roopam pratiroopo bahishcha
One sees essentially what one wants to see. The fire of primordial passion is the desire to fill the hollowness one feels within oneself. It is this fire of passion that makes one perceive a form. The same primordial passion when it touches different forms causes reflections that differentiate them. In this manner the inner spirit which resides in all beings manifests externally as different forms in accordance with the causal body acting as its host.
Vayur yathaiko bhuvanam prvishto roopam roopam pratiroopo babhoova
Ekastatha sarvabhootantaratma roopam roopam pratiroopo bahishcha
The medium for life forces is essentially one. This medium when it flows through different forms is reflected as different vessels of life. In the same way the inner spirit which resides in all living beings manifests externally as different forms in accordance with the causal body acting as its host.
Suryo yathaiko sarvalokasya chakshur na lipyate chakshushair bahyadoshaih
Ekastatha sarvabhootantaratma na lipyate lokadukhena bahyah
The source that energizes all domains is the eye of the manifested universe. The process of being seen by the source lights the domains with brilliance. The energy is being used by different forms in different domains in different manner. The primordial source of energy is however indifferent to the nature of application of energy. It is inexhaustible and unaffected by the characteristics of the domains which it keeps seeing. In the same way the inner spirit which resides in all beings is not affected by the sorrows associated with existence in this world.
Eko vashee sarvabhootantaratma ekam roopam bahudhah yah karoti
Tamatmastham ye/nupashyanti dheerastesham sukham shashvatam netaresham
The same hollowness that attracts everything to itself is the inner spirit of all beings. This point of attraction manifests through the desirable objects in the manifested universe. Intelligent persons realize the unity of the inner spirit acting through all objects of desire. All their pursuits are directed towards the inner spirit. The happiness experienced by such persons is permanent and unconditional. For the others who search for their satisfaction among causal bodies happiness is conditional and transient.
Nityo/nityanam chetanashchetananam eko bahoonam yo vidadhatikaman
Tamatmastham ye/nupashyantidheerastesham shantih shashvatee netaresham
All objects in the manifested universe are affected by the passage of time. The inner spirit is the ever-fresh component in these objects which keep fading with time. All objects in the manifested universe have inertia and their capacity to adapt to changes in environment is limited. The inner spirit is the pure awareness without any limitations that enlivens these objects. The persons who choose to live by the dictates of the intellect identifies with the inner spirit. Such persons, while propitiating their desires, are consecrating themselves to the inner spirit. The peace experienced by them is the peace of consummation. Only that peace is permanent. For all others who search for satisfaction in causal bodies the peace experienced by the satisfaction of desires is conditional and impermanent. Such persons get entrapped in the whirlpool of worldly desires and become restless.
