Translation

Limiting adjuncts ranging from the creator Brahmā down to a tiny organism are merely phenomena. Hence one has to realise the infinite Self which is one alone.

Annotation

1) Brahmā – refers to the cosmic subtle body, the creator of the worlds. 2) Phenomena – they are merely visualised in the Brahman which is the substratum for all. They all get negated on examination. 3) Infinite – is that which is devoid of the three–fold limitations of space, time and being an object (deśa–kāla–vastu–pariccheda) (Jagadguru).
