यथाऽग्नेर्ज्वलतः सर्वा दिशो विस्फुलिङ्गा विप्रतिष्ठेरन्।

yathā'gnerjvalataḥ sarvā diśo visphliṅgā vipratiṣṭheran |

"Just as sparks fly forth in all directions from a blazing fire..."

What This Means:

Like sparks emerging from a fire in all directions, so do all capacities emerge from the Self upon waking.

Going Deeper:

This beautiful image shows the Self as the source from which all mental and sensory activities emanate.

How To Apply This:

Your thoughts, perceptions, and abilities all arise from the fire of consciousness.
