In plain words
Prana is greater than hope. Just as the spokes of a wheel are fixed in its central hub, everything in existence is anchored in this life-force. Prana moves by prana, gives to prana, and offers to prana. Prana is the father, prana is the mother, prana is the brother, prana is the sister, prana is the teacher, and prana is the brahmin.

Prana is indeed greater than hope. Just as the spokes are fixed in the nave of a wheel, even so all this is fixed in this prana. Prana moves by prana, prana gives to prana, prana gives for prana. Prana indeed is the father, prana is the mother, prana is the brother, prana is the sister, prana is the teacher, prana is the brahmin.
