Chapter 13
yada bhhtaprthagbhavamekastbamanupasyati
tats eva ca vistaram brahma sampadyate tads
When he realizes, that the manifold state of beings is centred in prakrti, and evolve from that prakrti alone, then he attains Brahma. 30
Comment:--
[Praketi can be seen in two forms—actions and things (objects). In the twenty-ninth verse, there is mention of how to renounce affinity with actions, while in this verse there is description of how to renounce, affinity with objects.]
Yada bhutaprthagbhavamekasthamanupasyati Into eva ca vistara brahma sampadyate tada:- When a striver, realizes the whole variety of beings, whether born from the womb or egg and ground or sweat, with gross, subtle and. causal bodies, as centred in Prakrti, he attains Brahma.
The bodies, names, shapes, forms, mental projections, qualities, modifications, birth, sustenance and, death, of all beings of the three worlds, are born of prakrti. The bodies of all beings, evolve from prakrti, rest in prakrti and merge in it. He, who realizes this fact, attains Brahma i.e., he realizes the Self or the Absolute. Actually, Brahma is already attained, it was only the affinity with Prakrti, which was an obstacle to this attainment. When he realizes, that all beings rest in Prakrti, and are born of Prakrti, he realizes, the axiomatic self.
All the moving and unmoving bodies, born of the earth, rest on the earth, undergo changes and activities,[1] on the earth and merge in the earth. It means, that they are nothing else, besides the earth. Similarly, all bodies of beings, are born of Prakrti, rest in it and merge in it. So, they are nothing else, besides prakrti.
