MEANING :The Lord is the maker, concealer and the owner of theLaw. He is existence, non-existence; perishable and nonperishable.Being the Lord with thousand rays, who arrangesthings according to fitness, his own knowledge does not knowhim and all the tenets are made about Himself to know him.Explanation :1. He is the maker of the Law since it comes out of Him asHis own nature along with all the other things in this creation.2. His Law lies concealed in the nature of His own creation.Everything manifests in form, name, number, etc. and the Lawabout all these things is concealed in the centre as itself. Everyone in the creation has himself concealed in his own nature andhas to seek and find out for himself.3. He is the maker of the Law and the owner since everyonein the creation requires His acceptance as grace to know the Law.Existence is the Lord manifested through creation. Non-existenceis Himself beyond the creation. Both the phases are from Himself.The forms merge in nature and are perishable. Nature and itsbackground and their Lord are imperishable. Both are included inHimself as the background.4. Since He is the background of knowledge, also he isbeyond his own knowledge. Anyone can reach him through hisgrace and not through an effort to know him.5.
