In plain words
But when you put the pin on those lines and listen, all the songs, all the words, all the poems too, all the dialogues, are heard by us with perfect clarity.
The Heart of Man Itself Is the Temple of the Universe
In the same way, in the heart of man, the saṃskāras of many births, the fruits of the karma of many births, the sights we have seen in this world, the words we have heard: all of them lie merged in that heart itself. It is not merely resound alone; there is reaction too. There is reflrection too. Whatever day you saw the great ocean, that vast ocean lies merged in your heart. Whatever Himālaya mountains you beheld with your own eyes, those mountains too lie printed in your heart. Whatever places in this world you have travelled through, all those places are in your heart itself. In short, what is the inner meaning of this? In every man's heart the whole universe lies printed. So man is the form of the cosmic Virāṭ. Man, who is such a form of the cosmic Virāṭ, thinks himself small, believes himself merely petty, sinks and wastes away under many kinds of hardship, rejoices and brims over at many pleasures, and goes through many goods and evils. But man is not trying to recognise his own Satya himself. He is not trying in the least to recognise his own nature himself. When you ask where the whole universe was created, the Śrutis give a fine answer to it. This sound begins from the very place where the word "I" was born. That itself, they said, is the heart. The authority of the Śruti has said that the heart itself is the birthplace of the word "I". But where is this I? From where did this word "I" come? When each one calls himself to mind, when each one introduces himself to others, the word "I, I" arises first of all. There is no man at all without the word "I". There is no place at all without the seat called "I". Beasts, birds, wild animals and the like do not know language, but in them too the word "I" stands complete.
