Brahmā’s Instruction on Elements and Faculties

सर्ववित्‌ सर्वभूतेषु विन्दत्यात्मानमात्मनि । जो मनको हृदयकमलमें स्थापित करके अपने भीतर ही ध्यानके द्वारा आत्मदर्शनका प्रयत्न करता है

sarvavit sarvabhūteṣu vindaty ātmānam ātmani |

বায়ু বললেন—যে হৃদয়-পদ্মে মন স্থাপন করে, অন্তর্ধ্যান-যোগে নিজের ভিতরেই আত্মদর্শনের চেষ্টা করে, সে সকল ভূতের বিষয়ে সর্বজ্ঞ হয়; এবং অন্তঃকরণে পরমাত্ম-তত্ত্বের প্রত্যক্ষ অনুভব লাভ করে।

Educational Q&A

By turning the mind inward and meditating on the Self within the heart, one realizes the Ātman and thereby gains a universal, all-beings-inclusive knowledge—an experiential recognition of the Paramātman within the inner consciousness.

Vāyudeva is speaking and instructing that true omniscience is not mere information but arises from yogic inwardness: establishing the mind in the heart-lotus, seeking direct self-vision through meditation, and thereby experiencing the supreme reality within.
