Meaning
Another commentary: the world as the oil in the mustard seed is awareness; the world as the wave in rivers is awareness; the world as the sweetness in honey is awareness; the world as the armlet of gold is awareness. The armlet returns to the image of 3.11.8: a shape that gold takes, nothing besides the gold.
