Self-Reflection Prompts
- What does it mean to offer salutations in all directions (sarvataḥ)? How can we practice seeing and honoring the Divine in every person and situation we face?
- If the Divine pervades everything (sarvaṃ samāpnoṣi), how can there be any place where God is not? What does this mean for our feelings of loneliness or abandonment?

11.40
नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते
नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व
The Lord is 'sarva' (All) because He is the non-dual Self. Just as clay pervades all pots, Brahman pervades all names and forms. There is nothing outside of Consciousness; therefore, bowing in any direction is bowing to the Self.
