तं चेद्ब्रूयुर्यदिदमस्मिन्ब्रह्मपुरे दहरं पुण्डरीकं वेश्म दहरोऽस्मिन्नन्तराकाशः किं तदत्र विद्यते यदन्वेष्टव्यं यद्वाव विजिज्ञासितव्यमिति॥

"If they should ask: "In this city of Brahman there is a small lotus-dwelling, and in it a small inner space - what is there that should be sought, that should be understood?""

What This Means:

If someone asks: What is in that tiny heart-space that should be sought? What is worth knowing there?

Going Deeper:

The teacher anticipates the question. The answer will reveal the infinite nature of the heart-space.

How To Apply This:

Ask yourself: What is in the deepest space of my heart that is worth knowing?
