Meaning
The commentary: as I see, so Brahmā and the others, by their bodies of pure mind, are fit to see Brahman; they see the Brahman-world and its dealings standing within one part of Brahman, as the hymn says, "all beings are a quarter of it". The creators see the world as a small region within the infinite, not the infinite within the world.
