The deeper meaning here is that you should do away with an intellect that
discriminates or divides on the basis of this multitude and diversity; and instead
understand that everything in Creation is actually made of One thing only. Whether it
appears red or blue, or of any colour and attributes, the entire Creation is made up of One
all-powerful Consciousness. When you embed this profound truth in your heart, then you
become established in Yoga and see the underlying unity of everything.
The poet also says that usually we get stuck in peoples opinions and what they think of us,
or our mind gets entangled in petty politics happening before us. Our mind gets trapped with
the conflicts and problems around us. But it is not real, actually.
How can you think or know what someone is thinking of you? But you think This person
thinks so-and-so about me; that person thinks like this about me, etc.
We create such false impressions in our mind, and we keep nurturing our cravings and
aversions. What will happen if we drop all the cravings and aversions and think of beauty
and divine qualities in our mind? All these distortions drop off and dissolve by themselves
and we get established in Yoga.
Maharishi Patanjali said, Yoga chitta-vritti nirodhah, meaning that Yoga is to silence the
distortions of the Mind. One moves from the scenery to the Seer when we see that this
entire Creation is a play of Consciousness and everything is made up of that One
Consciousness only. The diversity of colours and scenery is only because of this One
Consciousness.
