Translations
When a person sees all beings as resting in the One and emanating from the One alone, they then become Brahman.
He who sees the diverse forms of life all rooted in One and growing forth from Him, shall indeed find the Absolute.
When one realizes that the state of diversity of living things is rooted in the One, and that their manifestation also comes from That, then one becomes identified with Brahman.
जिस कालमें साधक प्राणियोंके अलग-अलग भावोंको एक प्रकृतिमें ही स्थित देखता है और उस प्रकृतिसे ही उन सबका विस्तार देखता है, उस कालमें वह ब्रह्मको प्राप्त हो जाता है।Commentary
A man attains to unity with the Supreme when he knows or realises through intuition that all these manifold forms are rooted in the One. As waves in water, atoms in the earth, rays in the sun, organs in the body, emotions in the mind, sparks in the fire, so verily are all forms rooted in the One. Wherever he turns his gaze he beholds only the one Self and enjoys the bliss of the Self. When he beholds the diversity of beings rooted in the One in accordance with the teachings of the scriptures and the preceptor, he realises through intuitive experience that all that he beholds is nothing but the Self and that the origin and the evolution of all is from That One alone.
Compare with the Chhandogya Upanishad? 7.26.1.आत्मतः प्राण आत्मत आशा आत्मतः स्मरआत्मत आकाश आत्मतस्तेज आत्मत आपःआत्मत आविर्भावतिरोभावावात्मतोऽन्नम्।।Atmatah prana atmata asa atmatah smara-Atmata akasa atmatasteja atmata apah-Atmata avirbhavatirobhavavatmatonnam. From the Self is life from the Self is desire from the Self is love from the Self is ether from the Self is light from the Self are the waters from the Self is appearance and disappearance from the Self is food.
