Meaning
The commentary: even if someone does not see this as awareness and sees it as the world, the arrangement of the world is the arrangement of awareness. Mind, intellect, ego, the five great elements, mountains, directions and all such arrangements are awareness, not other than it, for the world's standing is of the form of awareness.
