7. By Him are begotten the various devas, the sadhyas, men, cattle, birds, and also prana and apana, rice and corn, penance, faith, truth, continence, and law.
This verse describes the spiritual origin of various beings, forces, and objects
8. From Him have sprung the seven pranas, the seven flames, the seven kinds of fuel, the seven oblations, and also the seven planes where move the pranas, lying in the cave, which are seven in each living being.
For a seeker of the Self, the senses, their objects, and the perceiver are all Brahman. (See B. G. IV. 24.) He worships Brahman alone through all actions. Actions, instruments of action, and results of action, belonging to the illumined or the unillumined, have all been produced from Brahman
9. From Him come all the oceans and the mountains; from Him flow rivers of every kind; from Him have come, as well, all plants and B.avours, by which the inner self subsists surrounded by the elements.
It has been stated above that everything is born of Brahman. He alone is the cause of all, as clay is the cause of all earthenware. According to Vedanta there is no essential difference between the cause and the effect. So there is no real difference between Brahman and material objects.
~Nikhilananda
