Why: among the Vedas, he is the Sama Veda, among the gods, Indra, among the senses, the mind, among living beings, consciousness, continuing the pattern, this time reaching into subtler, less physical categories.
In life: the same discerning attention that finds the standout in a physical category can also be turned toward subtler things, which specific thought or feeling actually carries the essential meaning of a larger experience.
Teaching: apply the same discerning attention to a recent experience, notice which specific thought or feeling within it actually carried the essential meaning of the whole, rather than treating the experience as one undifferentiated blur.
