=== Commentary (टीका) ===
This sloka from a Vedantic text underscores the concept of ''advaita'' or non-duality. The metaphor of ''ghaṭākāśa'' (pot-space) and ''mahākāśa'' (great space) illustrates how individual existence is enveloped within the universal existence. A pot may appear to have its own space, yet when shattered, the pot-space instantly merges with the vast space surrounding it, signifying the illusion of separation. In the same way, the individual ''ātman'' (self) is seemingly separate due to ignorance but is ultimately one with the ''parātman'' (Supreme Self). By dissolving the ego-sense and merging with the infinite, the sage is urged to remain in silent awareness, enveloped in a sense of ''akhaṇḍabhāva'' (unbroken oneness), thus transcending the illusion of separateness and duality.
