In plain words
Water from the ocean, put on the tongue, is pure salt; water from the small vessel, put on the tongue, is salt all the same; water from the big vessel, put on the tongue, is salt just the same.
That is full, this is full; from the full the full comes forth; taking the full from the full, the full alone remains.
The quantity is more or less. But its taste is one and the same in all. Every person, too, has some Prema, more or less; no one is without it. That Prema itself is the form of God. That itself is fullness. It is pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ. So in every being too. In every living creature too, this principle of Prema has never gone missing.
All creatures alike have attachment
Once, at the time of the war, Vyāsa was coming in his chariot, having resolved to make peace between the Pāṇḍavas and the Kauravas and to save everyone, so that no one's life would be lost. Vyāsa wrote countless Purāṇas too. The Vedas are not only four. ‘Ananto vai vedaḥ.’ Seeing that people could not read and grasp even these many Vedas, all of them, he divided them into four. The Ṛgveda, the Yajurveda, the Sāmaveda, the Atharvaṇaveda. This Vyāsa knew even the language of all the insects and creeping things. As his chariot was coming along, a little insect was running very fast, on the road. He saw it and stopped the chariot. ‘O insect! Why are you going so fast?’ asked Vyāsa. Then the insect said, so the story goes: ‘Great ṛṣi, within a few minutes Arjuna's chariot will come along very fast. It will come as fast as an arrow. But before that chariot comes, I must get home. For my wife and children are all waiting for me. I must reach home safe and sound,’ it said. Then Vyāsa thought: Not merely human beings alone have this attachment to wife and children. Worms, insects and their like have it too, this attachment. That is just why you cannot say that man is great and noble merely because he lives as a human being.
