Vast and expansive Is your holy creation of existence and the voice divine, O Brhaspati, lord of expansive universe. You are the master and supreme controller who pervade and transcend its parts from the particle to the whole. The immature man who has not passed through the crucibles of discipline cannot reach to that presence, but the mature and seasoned ones who still maintain the ordeal of fire and abide by the presence attain to it and the divine joy.
