Sanskrit Text

एको हुताशो बहुधा समिध्यते; एकः सूर्यस्तपसां योनिरेका एको वायुर्बहुधा वाति लोके; महोदधिश्चाम्भसां योनिरेकः पुरुषश्चैको निर्गुणो विश्वरूप;स्तं निर्गुणं पुरुषं चाविशन्ति

English Translation

Fire is an element, but it may be seen to burn up in a thousand places under thousand different circumstances. The Sun is one and single, but his rays extend over the wide universe. Penances are of various kinds, but they have one common origin whence they have originated. The Wind is one, but it blows in various forms in the world. The great Ocean is the one parent of all the waters in the world seen under various circumstances. Shorn of qualities, that one Soul is the universe shown in infinitude. Originating from him, the infinite universe enters into that one Soul again who is above all qualities, when the time for its destruction comes.
