Meaning
The commentary: as fluidity is never different from water, so in the Supreme Self creation is not different from it; this creation seems grown great only through delusion; in truth the Supreme Self alone stands, free of the unevenness of the world, nothing besides it. The pair of verses is a riddle with its answer in the second: "wherever fluidity is different from water, there creation is different from the Self", and that is nowhere.
