In Chapter 11, the relationship between the manifest (Saguna) and unmanifest (Nirguna) is explained using the analogy of ghee. Just as ghee is called ghee whether it is frozen (solid form) or melted (liquid form), Saguna and Nirguna are presented as two states of the same single reality. The text clarifies that the formed and the formless are not different from each other; they are one and the same, pervading the universe. This chapter emphasizes that the visible, manifest world is essentially the essence of the Unmanifest, which has simply taken on form.
