That Brahman which due to delusion appears variously in the manner of name, form, quality and action and which like gold is itself unchanging, know That to be thyself. Meditate on That in thy mind.
Even as the one gold appears differently as a bracelet, earring etc., and is in itself of an identical form, but seems different in its effectuation, so too Brahman is in itself unchanging. But, due to delusion, it appears as various in the form of changes in name, form and transformation. That Brahman thou art. Meditate on, That in thy mind.
