In plain words
Divinity is the So'ham principle itself, arising from man's breath
What is the form of sound? In what form must we show this Īśvara principle, which is Śabdabrahman? If we inquire what the Īśvara principle really means, it means ‘auspicious breath’. How does this auspicious breath come to us? The Īśvara principle becomes perceptible to us through the sound “So'ham” that comes forth from man's breath. That is, the sound “So'ham” itself is God's form, it has been said. This sound goes on showing forth the Īśvara principle. If, without recognising the sound, we keep only the form in view and inquire what the meaning of this sound is, nothing becomes clear. So we must settle on a form for it. The form of a quality is the right form for the Īśvara principle. That is, the sāttvic quality itself is “So'ham”; this sāttvic quality itself is the Īśvara principle. From that same breath something else arises too. That is said to be the Viṣṇu principle. What is the form of that Viṣṇu principle? Nothing but the feeling of the mind. This is the very principle of the mind, arisen from the sound “So'ham”. From this “So'ham” alone all kinds of sounds begin. This sound shows itself as the form of the mind. This one, it has been said, is Viṣṇu. That is, the sense is that the mind is Viṣṇu. From the navel of this Viṣṇu another form arises, called Brahmā. So the three principles, the Īśvara principle, the Brahmā principle and the Viṣṇu principle, arise from the So'ham principle alone. If we begin with the Īśvara principle, the principle of the mind itself shows forth the Viṣṇu principle. The divinity that comes from this breath came as the Brahmā principle. This very one took on the form of speech. That is, what comes from our speech is the Brahmā principle itself. Every word is the Brahmā principle itself. Every thought is the Viṣṇu principle itself. Every breath is the Īśvara principle itself. So the Īśvara principle is the breath; the mind is the Viṣṇu principle; and the Brahmā principle, arisen from this Viṣṇu, is the true word. So divinity means the “So'ham” principle that arises from our breath. It never leaves us, at any time, on any day. As long as we are in the body, the breath keeps on arising. The mind is made of thoughts and counter-thoughts. This itself is the Viṣṇu principle. The principle that came from the navel of the Viṣṇu principle is the Brahmā principle. What is the root cause of this Brahmā principle?
