यदेवेह तदमुत्र यदमुत्र तदन्विह। मृत्योः स मृत्युमाप्नोति य इह नानेव पश्यति॥

""What is here is there; what is there is also here. One who sees difference here goes from death to death.""

What This Means:

The same Reality exists everywhere - here and there, in this world and beyond. Seeing differences where there is only One leads to repeated death.

Going Deeper:

The illusion of multiplicity (nana - manyness) is the cause of bondage. Unity is the truth; diversity is appearance.

How To Apply This:

Stop seeing separation. The same One is everywhere. Practice seeing unity.
