MEANING:

Invoke the Lord as the wealth of the creation, the mind after wealth;
as the truth which is the law of existence; as the spirit acting as
equilibrium and the one who is well-measured by the well-behaved ones.
He is equal to all. He has nothing of his creation existing in vain.
He has eyes resembling the petals of a lotus. He is the act of
showering and the very form of showering.

Explanation :

1. Matter is the wealth of creation. Irs evolution and functioning is
presided over by the eight groups of devas called Vasus, the lords of
matter.

2. The mind runs after matter and reacts with it, hence it is after
the wealth of creation. This is the hidden reason why the mind of
people runs after the material plane before it begins to recollect its
own content.

3. Everything in this creation exists as the name and the qualities of
the objective plane but still theSe things exist upon the basis of the
inner truth which is the law of existence.

4. For example, we are conscious that we exist because we are floating
on the surface of the truth of existence.

5. Matter, life, mind and senses exist on different planes and lose
their equilibrium on the objective plane of consciousness. They regain
the equilibrium when they are recollected into the spirit which is the
equilibrium of all.

6. Everyone measures others in his own capacity when he is on the
mental and intellectual planes. He judges others according to his
capacity of judgement. When he is well-trained to get at the spirit of
all, he measures all in the light of the spirit. Hence he measures the
spirit in terms of the creation.

7. The Lord as omnipresence is equal to all the planes and all the
creatures though they are diversified in themselves.

8. From the lowest to the highest, all the planes work as the vehicles
of the Lord. Hence, no vehicle, no part of creation and no incident in
the creation exists or occurs in vain.

9. The eyes of the living beings respond to the rays of the sun and
are hence compared with the petals of a lotus. The power of seeing in
the beings is due to the power of heliotropism. This is because the
power to see is only an objectified counterpart of the sun, who is the
Lord of sight and light. In this respect, the Lord is described as
having his eyes as the petals of the lotus.

10. The act of showering is the cause of germination of all beings
bring seed-state to the sprouting of its full-fledged existence. Hence
the Lord is himself the act of showering.

11. The shower itself includes the form of the beings that are to be
germinated. All the living beings are called forth into form by the
act of showering. Hence, the Lord is the act of showering in one of
his manifestations.
