Relates to

This mantra relates to the body aspect of the individual and the Cosmic Being.  We experience our gross physical body only in the waking state.  We are totally identified with in that state.  The individual identifying itself with the gross body is called ‘Vishwa’. The total universe, which is nothing but a manifestation of the Lord, is that body of the Lord and is called ‘Viraat’.

As Sai is the whole universe He is the Sun also.  Hence, He is called Sai Surya.  With His Divine Effulgence, He alone illumines and sustains the whole universe and our individual body, mind and equipment.  This brilliant Sai Surya alone is the pure, eternal, divine consciousness, which is illuminating everything within and without.
