यो देवो अग्नौ योऽप्सु यो विश्वं भुवनमाविवेश। य ओषधीषु यो वनस्पतिषु तस्मै देवाय नमो नमः॥

yo devo agnau yo'psu yo viśvaṃ bhuvanamāviveśa | ya oṣadhīṣu yo vanaspatiṣu tasmai devāya namo namaḥ ||

"The God who is in fire, who is in water, who has entered the whole world, who is in plants, who is in trees - to that God, salutations again and again."

What This Means:

God is in fire, water, the whole world, plants, and trees. Repeated salutations to that God!

Going Deeper:

The divine pervades all elements and all life forms. This devotional verse expresses reverence for the omnipresent Lord.

How To Apply This:

See God in fire, water, the world, plants, trees. Offer your salutations to the Divine everywhere.
