Another verse from the Śvetāśvatara, and it speaks of doing.
Manīṣin — “the thinker, the one possessed of mind”; and he is called “one among the niṣkriya” — “the actionless”.
Only He, then, acts; the rest does not act of itself.
Then: ekaṃ santaṃ bahudhā yaḥ karoti — “who, being one, makes himself manifold”.
This is neither transformation nor fragmentation. The verb karoti, “makes”, with the subject “the one being”, means that multiplicity is His deed, not His disintegration.
The Vaiṣṇava Vedānta stands on this: He remains one, and He is manifold; and the one does not cancel the other.
The closing words are familiar — they stand word for word in the thirty-seventh section of the Atharvaśiras: “theirs is peace, and not others'”.
Note here as well: śāntiḥ śāśvatī, “eternal peace”, is promised not to all, but to those who see Him ātmastham — “abiding in themselves”.
The next verse will give the means: the two fire-sticks and the friction.
