One who is eulogised with the incantation "HIRANYA GARBHAH MAA MAA HINSEET VA YASMAMAANNA JATAH " is formless.
God is omnipresent and formless. The world functions in an orderly manner because of God's grace.

The first half of both these two mantras mean the same. We should try to enhance our knowledge and make it's reach as wider as possible. We should try to know about the world, all the directions and sub-directions as they really are.
The knowledge of the material world is 'Avidya' while the knowledge of the self is 'vidya'.We should try to have knowledge of both. 'Nature' or 'Prakriti' will always remain a mystery to us unless and untill we understand the fundamental elements constituting it. Nature functions on a definite law, which is controlled by the supreme almighty,who can not be realized without 'Atma gyan'. This law is universally applicable and is the same everywhere. The proper understanding of the Law of nature helps us to experience the existence of the 'Supreme soul'(God).
