Following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

तदेतत्सत्यं यथा सुदीप्तात्पावकाद्विस्फुलिङ्गाः सहस्रशः प्रभवन्ते सरूपाः ।
तथाक्षराद्विविधाः सोम्य भावाः प्रजायन्ते तत्र चैवापि यन्ति ॥

tadetatsatyaṃ yathā sudīptātpāvakādvisphuliṅgāḥ sahasraśaḥ prabhavante sarūpāḥ
tathākṣarādvividhāḥ somya bhāvāḥ prajāyante tatra caivāpi yanti

This is that, the truth of things: as from one kindled fire thousands of different sparks are born and all have the same form of fire, so, O fair son, from the Immutable manifold becomings are born and even into that they depart.

~ Verse 2.1.1

Acharya Prashant: “This is that, the truth of things: as from one kindled fire thousands of different sparks are born and all have the same form of fire, so, O fair son, from the Immutable manifold becomings are born and even into that they depart.”
