*auspiciousness; stable as a rock, the origin of all beings and as
the
unspendable hidden treasure and contribution of all He is **the Lord
of
occurance, the source and the goal of imagination,*


*the one who maintains all. He is the Lord of emanation and the Lord
of all
and everything as well as the Lord of splendours.*


Explanation :


1. All means that the Lord pervades all. Here all includes
creation and beyond creation.


2. Sarva means the Lord of the dissolution or merging of the
creation.
·
3. Sivah means the Lord who is the embodiment of auspiciousness.
Rea1ise
gradually that whatever occurs contributes to the ultimate well-
being.


4 Just as the rock is stablest of all, that is on the physical plane,
the
Lord is the stablest of all the creation. He forms the very content
that
stands eternally. On His surface, everything floa~. ­


5. The origin of beings is the monad which descends as
*Jeeva *or permanent atom (refer Secret. Doctrine by H. P.
Blavatsky).


6 & 7 The unspendable hidden treasure means the source of even *Moo/a
Prakriti, *the primordial substance as well as divine thought. Both of
them
are borrowed by the devas who come from them both. Again everyone
leaves his
own work as his own contribution that returns to the same treasure.


8. Occurrence is the coming across of the individual with the
remaining part
of the creation which forms his background.


This Coming across may be physical, vital, sensory, mental or
spiritual. It
is known as incident.

9. The source and goal of imagination is the reaction of mind towards
itself
and its recollection of memories. All' this form part of the Lord.


10. Everyone receives his maintenance from the parents, employers,
friends
and other individuals. All these beings live as characters in the
drama of
the universe, the story of which occurs on the background who is the
Lord.
Hence, the maintenance is indirectly the Lord Himsel£


11. Everyone awakens from his sleep everyday but he first gets his
awakening
as an individual from the Lord Himsel£ This is the first
differentiation of
his individual consciousness which we call emanation.


12. Prabhuh means the Lord of all the creation which is the kingdom of
the
Lord. Here the administrative ability that is immanent in the creation
is
referred to.

13. Splendours are the powers of nature which render the manifestation
of
the creative intelligences possible. In the individual, they live as
the powers which maintain body,
mind, senses, life and the psychological faculties beyond which stand
the super-human splendours that
may sometimes flow out through Him.
