That one (the Self), though never stirring, is swifter than thought. The Devas (senses) never reached it, it walked before them. Though standing still, it overtakes the others who are running. Mātariśvan (the wind, the moving spirit) bestows powers on it.
The Self never moves, yet it is swifter than thought. The senses cannot catch it — it was already there before them. Standing still, it outruns all who are running. Mātariśvan, the wind, sets everything in motion within it.
