Slokam 10

This Slokam focuses more on the process of creation of the Physical universe by the Paramathma, by using the elements. Submerging the physical universe, for a 100 years  under waters that were already generated, is mentioned as one of the processes. 

It must be noted that if the Antartica Ice melts, due to warming, the whole world will be covered with water and the Pralayam will wipe out all human life on the planet. When the waters again recede after the cooling occurs and the Ice is reformed, life will again emerge.

The Golden Egg that is referenced in this Slokam, is the ultimate totality of the universe itself, and not just earth.

The slokam pays a huge tribute to the Paramathma for his ability to manifest and to permeate all objects and elements and unify them in concerted action.  This is the caricature of the VIRATTA PURUSHA form of the Paramathma, wherein He is depicted as a being with a “thousand” (should be infinite), hands, legs heads that embraces all living beings.

Seeing this form of the Paramathma in all material manifestations is the one quality that can make this journey through the ocean of life, a pleasant and immensely satisfying experience. 

This slokam is a fundemental acknowledgement that the manifested and the manifestor are the same. Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavath Gita that the seer and seen, the observer and observed are both only Himself. 

Back to the original question - where do we come in? We are the custodian of the treasure created in the process of the Paramathma's manifestation.  The custodian that has to hand over the possession to its rightful owner.   

May we be blessed to be ever steadfast in holding this form of the manifestation of the Paramathma ever steady in our mind and consciousness.  No matter what the troubles we have to undergo, this one image must ever be held steady.
