In plain words
Even for the Creator, wandering without principle or restraint, Ajñāna does not give way; where there is no light, darkness rules over the earth. Open your eyes and see this God of gods, brother; if you think on it, He is present everywhere, brother.

Though the music the eye cannot see is one, its rāgas are many. Each rāga, too, carries a feeling all its own. In the same way, though rasa too is one, this rasa has many arts. In the science of music these are called the sixty-four. This science is made up of sixty-four arts. Be it a singer of great fame, be it Tumbura and Nārada themselves, one who keeps singing a single rāga and never leaves it will weary the listener. That is why God, whose very form is rasa, takes on many forms. The Upaniṣad too: ‘Raso vai saḥ.’ God is the very form of rasa, these say. Within the rasas He works many kinds of change. Prakṛti, made of the three guṇas, is one. Yet within this one Prakṛti there are many kinds of colours, tastes, fragrances and sounds. All of these are forms of rasa sprung from the one Prakṛti alone. How can God, whose form is rasa, ever be described? That is why the Śrutis said, ‘Yato vāco nivartante aprāpya manasāsaha.’ That is, speech is not enough to describe Him. Nor is the mind. The Śruti warned that He cannot be described by the mind or by speech. If we are to attain such divinity, the Name alone is the boat for it. Yet there are many noble souls who have uttered these Names. There are also many people who, however many days they have uttered them and however long they have remembered this Name, show no change of any kind.
Rāvaṇa, Bhasmāsura, Kaṃsa and their like remembered the Name of God without ceasing, yet their demonic nature did not lessen in the least. What is the root cause of this? The machines of their minds were filled, without ceasing, with the feeling ‘ahaṃdehāsmi, ahaṃdehāsmi’. They did tapas for a very long time. The mantra of their tapas too was ‘ahaṃdehāsmi, ahaṃdehāsmi, ahaṃdehāsmi’, ‘I am the body’, and with that very feeling they went on practising this remembrance of the Name and these austerities. However long we remember the Name, so long as we hold on to the notion that the body is the self, this does not change in the least.
