This verse describes the nature of the inner Brahman — the Self hidden in the cave of the heart. It is not abstract but vibrantly alive: all actions, all desires, all sensations are its expressions. The universe is not a machine but a living field of consciousness expressing itself through every form of experience.
वह मनोमय है, प्राण उसका शरीर है, प्रकाश उसका रूप है, सत्य उसका संकल्प है, आकाश उसकी आत्मा है। वह सभी कर्मों में, सभी कामनाओं में, सभी गंधों में, सभी रसों में है।

वह मनोमय है, प्राण उसका शरीर है, प्रकाश उसका रूप है, सत्य उसका संकल्प है, आकाश उसकी आत्मा है। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
