Like the string for the garland, Brahman is the string that penetrates and holds together the garland of souls. Like the foundation for the building, Brahman is the foundation for the structure of creation. Note this. The string and foundation are not visible; only flowers and building are evident. That does not mean that the string and foundation are non-existent! In fact, they support the flowers and the building. Well, you can know of their existence and their value by little effort or reasoning. If you do not take that trouble, they escape your notice! Reason, examine, and you will discover that it is the string that holds the flowers together and there is a foundation hidden in the earth! Do not be misled by the thing being contained (adheya) into denying the holder, the container, the basis, the support (adhara). If you deny it, you miss the truth and hold on to a delusion. Reason and discriminate; then believe and experience! For the seen, there is an unseen basis; to grasp the unseen, the best means is inquiry and the best proof is experience.
