Self-Reflection Prompts
- If God is both 'immortality' (*amṛtam*) and 'death' (*mṛtyuḥ*), how does this help us accept death as a divine function rather than a tragic error of nature?
- How does seeing God as both *sat* (manifest) and *asat* (unmanifest) expand our understanding of reality beyond what is physically visible?

9.19
तपाम्यहमहं वर्षं निगृह्णाम्युत्सृजामि च
The Lord is the sun that heats the earth and causes rain. 'Sat' is the manifest effect (which is perceptible). 'Asat' is the unmanifested cause (which is imperceptible). In the non-dual truth, both cause and effect are nothing but Brahman.
