He first points out that the Supreme reigns in the heart of everything, be it small or big. The mystery of creation is always a work from within. The wonder-worker is inner, not outer.

And it is the display of the power and glory, lurking within that has come to express visibly.

अहमात्मा गुडाकेश सर्वभूताशयस्थितः ।
अहमादिश्च मध्यं च भूतानामन्त एव च ।।
