'Spirit (prâna) is better than hope. As the spokes of a wheel hold to the nave, so does all this (beginning with names and ending in hope) hold to spirit. That spirit moves by the spirit, it gives spirit to the spirit. Father means spirit, mother is spirit, brother is spirit, sister is spirit, tutor is spirit, Brâhmana is spirit.

In plain words: Prana, the life-breath that keeps us alive, is greater than hope. Everything mentioned so far is held by life like spokes held by the center of a wheel. Father, mother, brother, sister, teacher and priest are all this life-breath.
