Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)

जब साधक भूतों के पृथक् भाव को एक में स्थित देखता है और उसी से उनका विस्तार हुआ जानता है, तब वह ब्रह्म को प्राप्त होता है।

English Translation

When one perceives the diverse existence of beings as rooted in the One, and their expansion as emanating from That alone, then one attains Brahman.

Commentary (टीका)

This verse describes the moment of spiritual awakening when the apparent diversity of creation is seen as emanating from a single source. Just as many waves arise from one ocean, all beings emerge from one Brahman. This unitive vision, where multiplicity is seen as the expression of unity, marks the attainment of Brahman-realization.
