वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the Supreme principle is the ultimate ‘gati’ (reach/ground) even for cosmic powers like Indra, Agni, the Maruts, and Brahmā, yet it cannot be captured by ordinary mind and senses. It is realized through purified discriminative intellect (buddhi) and is intimated as the inner essence behind mental activity.
Vāyudeva is speaking in a didactic context, describing the nature of the highest reality: transcending sensory grasp, unmoving and pure, while still being the inner basis of mind and the ultimate course of all beings and deities.
