Chapter 37 explains that a single divine principle pervades everything, from the creator Brahma down to the smallest blade of grass, encompassing all moving and non-moving things. This principle is the same here on earth as it is in the hereafter, without any difference. The reason a person fails to perceive this unity is delusion born from ignorance. This ignorance causes the soul to see itself as separate from the divine, creating a false sense of difference. The text states that when this principle is combined with adjuncts (upadhis), it appears as if it were not Brahman to a soul deluded by this ignorance.
How does Chapter 37 describe the all-pervading divine principle, and what prevents a person from perceiving it?
