TRANSLATION
My Lord, You are the Supreme Brahman, complete in everything. Being completely spiritual, You are eternal, free from the material modes of nature, and full of transcendental bliss. Indeed, for You there is no question of lamentation. Since You are the supreme cause, the cause of all causes, nothing can exist without You. Yet we are different from You in a relationship of cause and effect, for in one sense the cause and effect are different. You are the original cause of creation, manifestation and annihilation, and You bestow benedictions upon all living entities. Everyone depends upon You for the results of his activities, but You are always independent.
You as the Cosmic complete, undying beyond the modes, free from grief in eternal bliss, are changeless, existing apart from everything are You yet everything. As the cause of the beginning, the manifestation of the universe and its maintenance, are You, of all those who are inward directed, the Supersoul of control and do all depend on You who art the independence [see also B.G. 9: 15].

An attempt to understand - by Bharat Bhushan
How do you practice taking a cold water bath on a daily basis even in winter? A pilgrim at the Gomukh glacier was suddenly asked by a woman authoritatively to take a plunge in the icy cold waters. Stunned, and unable to walk away, the pilgrim took a bath in the extremely icy cold waters. Since then, he has been able to easily take cold water baths on a daily basis.
How do such events occur? Are they ordained? Is it part of your fate? Or, are such events catalysts in your life that help remove the clutter from yourselves and helps change? Why do two persons meet each other? Sometimes after several years? Is there a reason? Sometimes why do two persons search for one another after many years? Is there a greater reason?
I feel that there is always a reason for something to happen. I feel that there is probably a reason for two people to meet each other. If you do not get the reason, search for it. Do not stay back. Make it happen. There may be reasons and events waiting to be discovered and you need to have faith and allow for the events to uncover the cause and effect phenomena behind the screen. Can one prevent the future from happening the way it happens? Can one manage to change the future?
How does one know what part of one's own life needs to be changed? And, when? And, how? by what means? Sometimes, I think that we leave too many aspects of our lives to our fate. We should act upon our thoughts proactively. It is said that we are alone responsible for ourselves. We can change the lines in our palms and change our future. Is everything false, then? It is said that it indeed true that everything is false. Or, is it false that everything is true that everything is false? It think it all depends on which side of hte mirror that one is standing. The mirror shows us on both sides!
