intermediate
सा होवाच याज्ञवल्क्य यद्ऊर्ध्वं दिवो यदवाक्पृथिव्या यदन्तरा द्यावापृथिवी इमे यद्भूतं च भवच्च भविष्यच्चेत्याचक्षते कस्मिंस्तदोतं च प्रोतं चेति॥
sā hovāca yājñavalkya yadūrdhvaṃ divo yadavākpṛthivyā yadantarā dyāvāpṛthivī ime yadbhūtaṃ ca bhavacca bhaviṣyaccety ācakṣate kasminstadotaṃ ca protaṃ ceti ||
"She said: "Yajnavalkya, that which is above the sky, below the earth, between heaven and earth, that which they call past, present, and future - on what is that woven, warp and woof?""
What This Means:
Gargi asks: All of space (above, below, between) and all of time (past, present, future) - on what is all this woven?
Going Deeper:
She encompasses everything: space and time, the entire cosmic and temporal order. What is its ground?
How To Apply This:
Ask: What is the ground of space and time? What supports the entire manifest universe?
