Chapter-7
Wisdom and Knowledge
8. I am the taste in water, the light in the moon and the sun, the syllable Om in all Vedas, the sound in space and manhood in men. 9. I am the sweet fragrance in the earth, the brilliance in fire, I am life in all beings, and austerity in ascetics. That which is taste in water, the touch in the wind, the light in the sun and the moon, know that to be Myself. I am the natural fragrance in the earth, the sound in the sky and the Omkara in the Vedas. I tell you I am the manhood which resides in man and which is the essence of his ego (31-35). When you remove the cover of what is known as fire, the real nature of light becomes manifest; I am that light. In these three worlds, creatures take birth in different species and subsist in different ways. Some drink the wind, some live on grass, some live on food and some are nourished on water. In this way whatever is the means of livelihood, which suits the nature of every creature, I am that means. |
