106 ISHOPANISHAD OF
sense : He, though free from motion, seems to advance,
leaving behind human intellect, which strives to attain
a knowledge respecting him : He being the eternal
ruler, the atmosphere regulates under him the whole
system of the world.
5th. He, the Supreme Being, seems to move every-
where, although he in reality has no motion ; he seems
to be distant from those who have no wish to attain a
knowledge respecting him, and he seems to be near to those
who feel a wish to know him : but, in fact, He pervades^
the internal and external parts of this whole universe.
6th. He, who perceives the whole universe in the
Supreme Being (that is, he who perceives that the
material existence is merely dependent upon the existence
of the Supreme Spirit); and who also perceives the
Supreme Being in the whole universe {that is, he who
perceives that the Supreme Spirit extends over all material
extension); does not feel contempt towards any creature
whatsoever.
7th. When a person possessed of true knowledge
conceives that God extends over the whole universe
{that is, that God furnishes every particle of the universe
with the light of his existence), how can he, as ah
observer of the real unity of the pervading Supreme
existence, be affected with infatuation or grievance ?
8th. He overspreads all creatures : is merely spirit,,
without the form either of any minute body, or of an
extended one, which is liable to impression or organiza-
tion : He is pure, perfect, omniscient, the ruler of the
intellect, omnipresent, and the self-existent: He has-
from eternity been assigning to all creatures their
respective purposes.
