The drawing of the Resolve — a portrait of Brahman in the heart, one of the most precious formulas of the śruti: manomayaḥ — "mind-woven" (apprehensible by a pure mind); prāṇa-śarīraḥ — "whose body is breath" (the life of all that lives is His flesh!); bhā-rūpaḥ — "whose form is light"; satya-saṅkalpaḥ — "whose resolve is truth": whatever He wills comes to pass (compare our perpetual gulf between design and deed!); ākāśātmā — "whose nature is space"; sarva-karmā sarva-kāmaḥ sarva-gandhaḥ sarva-rasaḥ — "working all, desiring all, all-fragrant, all-savoured": every deed, desire, scent and taste in the world is His!
And two closing strokes: avākī — "silent" (possessing all tastes, He has no need to speak) and anādaraḥ — "unperturbed, seeking no notice" (fullness does not fuss!). The Gītā will reproduce this formula almost word for word (8.9: "the Poet, the Ancient, the Ruler, subtler than the subtle, the Ordainer of all…").
Mark this: sarva-gandhaḥ sarva-rasaḥ — "all fragrances, all tastes" — Śāṇḍilya's Brahman is no quality-less void: He is the fullness of qualities: every scent of the world is His scent, every taste His taste (raso vai saḥ!): to strip Him of qualities is to impoverish the Full. Such is the image for one's kratu: be turned toward Him in whom everything is fragrant and everything comes true.
