It moves: and it moves not: it is far and it is near. It is inside all this; it is also outside all this.
Tap a word for its meaning
Tad=the Self in question. ejati=moves. The same does not move (na ejati) i.e., in itself. In other words, being in truth motionless, it (only) appears to move. Moreover, tat=it, dūre=(at a distance). It is distant, as it were, because the ignorant cannot get at it even in a thousand million years. tat u=(it is also); antikè=near. Absolutely so, to the wise for it is their very Self. It is not merely far and near; it is (also) antah i.e. inside of all this. Compare—‘Which Self is inmost of all’—(Brih. Up. III, iv, 1). asya sarvasya=(of this all) i.e., the universe consisting of name, form and action. It is outside all this, being pervasive; inside, being supremely subtle like space. (We should also remember) that it is without interstices from the teaching contained in passages like “wholly solid sentiency &c.”—(Brih. Up.IV, v, 13)
