Wir schauen Dich im höchsten inneren Raum, wo Deine Herrlichkeit gleichsam „tanzt“; und wir gedenken ihrer immer wieder. Du bist das Selbst aller, auf vielerlei Weise in allen Wesen gegenwärtig—immer wieder erfahren wir die Wonne Brahmans.

It declares the Lord as sarvātmā—one universal Self—who is ‘entered’ and present in manifold forms within all beings, implying non-dual presence behind diversity.
The verse emphasizes dhyāna and smṛti (recollection/continual contemplation): repeatedly ‘seeing’ the Lord in the paramākāśa (inner space of consciousness) and repeatedly realizing brahmānanda—an experiential, meditative absorption aligned with Pāśupata-oriented devotion and jñāna.
