Chapter-15
The Supreme Person
12. That light pertaining to the sun, which illumines the entire world, and that which is in the moon and in the fire, know that the light is Mine. Know that all that light which illumines the world, inclusive of the sun’s, belongs to Me and remains with Me from the beginning to the end of the world. When the sun dries up the world (through the process of evaporation), the moon-light that provides moisture to the world, is also Mine. And the intense heat in the fire, which burns and cooks etc., also belongs to Me (396-400). 13. Entering the earth, I sustain all beings with My power and I nourish all the herbs, becoming soma (moon) full of juices. I permeate the earth, so that even though it is a mass of clay, it does not dissolve in the waters of the ocean. I also enter the earth and uphold the countless beings, both animate and inanimate, sustained by it. I have become the moving lake of nectar, in the form of the moon in the sky. And when the moon-beams come down from the sky, I turn them into channels of nectar and nourish the plants. In this way, by providing food crops in abundance, I sustain the life of all beings (401- 405). Even after the food is produced, it has to be digested, otherwise how could the living being get satisfaction after eating it?
