intermediate
सोऽवेत्। अहं वाव सृष्टिरस्मि। अहं हीदं सर्वमसृक्षीति। ततः सृष्टिरभवत्। सृष्ट्यां हास्यैतस्यां भवति य एवं वेद॥
so\'vet | ahaṃ vāva sṛṣṭirasmi | ahaṃ hīdaṃ sarvamasṛkṣīti | tataḥ sṛṣṭirabhavat | sṛṣṭyāṃ hāsyaitasyāṃ bhavati ya evaṃ veda ||
"He knew: "I indeed am creation, for I have created all this." Thus creation arose. One who knows this becomes a creator in this creation."
What This Means:
The Self realized: "I am creation itself - I created all this." The one who understands this becomes a creator.
Going Deeper:
The creator and the creation are one. Knowing this identity makes one creative and powerful within creation.
How To Apply This:
Know yourself as the creative principle. You are not separate from creation - you are it.
