यथा न तोयतो भिन्नास्तरङ्गाः फेनबुद्बुदाः, आत्मनो न तथा भिन्नं विश्वमात्मविनिर्गतम्। ॥4॥
yathā na toyato bhinnās-taraṅgāḥ phena-budbudāḥ, ātmano na tathā bhinnaṁ viśvam-ātmavinirgatam. (4)
This verse suggests that just as waves, foam, and bubbles arise from water but are not separate from it, the universe comes from the Self and is ultimately one with the Self. It emphasizes the idea of unity between the individual essence and the broader universe.
