MEANING:
*Invoke the Lord as the most high, as the life-giver and the life; as
the
eldest and the choicest of the whole creation; as the **progenitor,'
the
golden egg and the centre as well as the womb of the earth; as the

of the wealth goddess and the one who crushed the demon Madhu.*
Explanation :
1. The Lord most high means the one who presides over every part and
particle of the creation, the indweller and the one beyond.
2. Life is the manifestation of space energy which expresses itself
through
the vital centres of the body to raplenish every part continuously.
Since
the Lord is the content of the space, He is the life-giver.
3. He is not only the content of space bur also of the layers of
space, the
nucleus of the atoms and the energy centres in our body. He is the
very life
itself,
.
4. Since everything is born our of him He is the eldest of all the
created *
entities.*
5. Since He *is *the essence and content of everything, He *is *the
*choicest
*desire towards *which *everyone should strive to progress.
6. The seed, principle of the whole universe *is *one of *his
*manifestation.
Hence, He is the seed principle of every seed, and is rightly the
Progenitor.
7. Since the globe of space activises as the globe of golden light
from the
background space of darkness, before every creation, the creator,
Brahma, is
said to be born out of the golden egg.
8. The spark of the earth towards itself It is also conscious of
itself
being attracted towards the sun, and repelled by the force of its own
speed.
Hence, this centre keeps poise to keep the earth in its own orbit.
This is
the centre which was the first womb of the formation of the whole
earth
globe. This centre is one of the manifestations of the Lord.
9. The goddess of wealth and splendour is *Laxmi. *She is the wife of
the
Lord and resides always in his heart during pralaya and on his chest
during
the creation.
10. When the space globe was first existing during the creative
slumber of
the Lord, its space became two equal parts. ( two different charges of
lines
of force). Two opposing forces sprang up in the form of two great
demons, *Madhu
*and *Kaitabha. *The Lord killed them (neutralised them and formed the
two
poles of the space globe). Hence, He is the killer of the demon
Madhu.
