This universe is the Bhagavan, and yet it is other, since from him come the standing and the ending and the arising of the world. You know this yourself; and even so, only a hand's span of it has been shown here. Know your self by your self, you whose sight does not fail, to be a portion of the supreme Person, the supreme Self, unborn and yet born for the good of the world. Let the rising of his great power, then, be reckoned up. For this, the poets have determined, is the unfailing purpose of a man's austerity, of what he has heard, of sacrifice well made and of speech well spoken, of understanding and of giving: the telling out of the qualities of him whose renown is highest.
