In plain words
In sand the stream of rain sinks away; in black clay soil it stays and turns sweet; falling into a shell it shines out as a pearl; so too Bhakti flowers according to what each one has earned.
Embodiments of Prema!
For all the many forms and names in the world there is one basis on which they rest. Without a base substance, no object whatever takes on form and name. This is a silver vessel. It has a form and a name. But the substance that is its base is silver. When we melt this vessel, the silver remains as silver. Where did its form and name go? They have merged into the base substance.
The principle at the base of the many forms and names in this world is divinity
In the same way, for all the many forms and names in this world there is a base principle, a sāttvic principle. That is the pure principle. This is what they call divinity. By this very divinity everything in the world takes on form and name. ‘Ekohaṃ bahusyāṃ’: by His own will alone the many come into being. Even in this manyness, oneness alone is the chief, underlying principle. There are two figures, one and nine. But in arithmetic we regard nine as the bigger number.
