Meaning
The commentary: this whole world is awareness alone, Brahman, without difference of kind or within, unchanging, pure as space; for in every object of the world what is known is pure being. Whatever is seen, the one thing about it that cannot be taken away is that it is: and that "is" is Brahman. "World" is only the name it bears for one who does not look.
