THUS, in order to kindle affection for the Divine (bhakti<\/em>) and inflame the same, the nature of Divinity as ensouling all things, accompanied with the expression of the multitude of blessed Divine attributes, \u2014unique, and essentially characterising that Divine nature\u2014 was dwelt upon; and that contingent on such Nature, the relation to It as body, of all the differing natures viz.<\/em>, the sum of Intelligent (chit<\/em>) and Non-intelligent (achit<\/em>) entities, and their derivation from Divine Nature, of their very substance, being and movement, were also dwelt on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018All-wonderful, Resplendent, Infinite, All-faced (Gi<\/em>: XI-II<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The whole Kosmos located There in a part, and diversifiedly manifold\u2019 (Gi<\/em>: XI-13<\/a>).]<\/span><\/p>\n
