yasmai kāraṇarūpāya kāryarūpeṇa bhāti yat | kāryakāraṇarūpāya tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 72 ||

72. He who is the cause of all, yet appears to the world as the effect, I surrender to Him who shares the nature of both cause and effect.

Notes: Brahman, though It is the cause of everything, appears to be the effect (the world).

nānārūpamidaṁ viśvaṁ na kenāpyasti bhinnatā | kāryakāraṇarūpāya tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 73 ||

73. This world of diverse forms, in whom does not appear diversity, who shines as the cause and effect of everything, to that ŚrīGuru I surrender.

(content on Guru established in space of Advaita. As cause & effect.)

(Note: when the atman is realized, diversity vanishes. The jñāni of self-realization sees no diversity anywhere. He feels and says like the great self-realised Sage SadāŚiva Brahman of Nerur (Trichy dist.) – sarvam brahmanmayam re re sarvam brahmamayam-everything is Brahman O man, everything is Brahman". Where has the world of diversity disappeared which was appearing to me till now? Asks the jñani of realization.)
