Verse 105ghaṭādau yac ca vijñānam icchādyaṃ vā mamāntare ।
naiva sarvagataṃ jātaṃ bhāvayann iti sarvagaḥ ॥“Consciousness, Will, and so on are not only in me, but are in everything, including inanimate objects.” Contemplating in this way that everything manifest is manifest everywhere, one [experiences oneself] as all-pervasive.
Simplified Steps
•
Contemplate that the same powers that are in you are in everything, e.g.:
•
Everything is consciousness (cit-śakti) coagulated into form
•
Consciousness chooses to appear as each and every form that appears (icchā-śakti)
•
The potential to experience beauty and joy exists in the experience of any being or object (ānanda-śakti)
•
Every thing acts upon everything else (kriyā-śakti)
•
Therefore, whatever powers are manifest in you are manifest everywhere.
