Plain text of Fifth Prapathaka · Eighteenth Khanda
5.18.1 Then he said to them: "Verily, indeed, you here eat food, knowing the Lord of all as if He were something that can be measured by your own thoughts. He, however, who knows God, who encompasses all things by His knowledge and power, and is nearer than the vein of the neck, he eats food with thankfulness in all worlds, among all beings, in all his dealings.
5.18.2 The brightly shining heaven is a sign of God. The manifold sun is a sign of God. The wind with its various paths is a sign of God. The extended space is a sign of God. Water, the wealth of the earth, is a sign of God. The earth, the support, is a sign of God. None of these is God; all are His creation and serve His command."
