Discussion-
Concluding the section, the 'mother Sruti' here says in her inimitable language that the ultimate cause for this world of objects, feelings and thoughts, is the BRAHMA alone.
In a mud-pot, mud is on the top, mud is below, again is on the right and mud is on the left.
In short, the pot is nothing but mud; from mud it came, in mud it stays, into mud it goes back on being destroyed.
Mud is the cause and its effect.
The pot can be nothing but mud.
Similarly, here, Brahmam, the cause of the world, is said to be the all-pervading, homogeneous TRUTH in all the perceived things of the world.
