Rişhi: Vāmadeva (RV 4.2.11)
deva
ditim cha rāsva-aditim-uruşhya
O Godhead,
lavish the finite and guard for us the infinite.
The Reality to be attained is infinite, beyond the grasp of the
little mind of man. In whichever way he seeks to touch it, it
escapes. Mind and space fall back from it unattaining. It is only
the Supreme Grace that has to help the seeker to realize the
Divine, that can secure for him the infinities of the Spirit.
And not that alone. In his zeal to reach the
Infinite, man cannot give up the finite which also—and equally—is
the Divine. This world of phenomena is not to be rejected. It is a
self-creation of the Divine and meant to be fully possessed and
lived in the amplitude of knowledge, power and joy. This abundance
of Earth is also in the giving of the Divine who is truly its sole
Lord.
Both the finite and the infinite are intended
to be embodied in man.
