Why: the Lord dwells in the heart of all beings, causing them to revolve by his illusive power, as if mounted on a machine, describing beings as caught within larger forces they don't fully control or perceive, using the striking image of a machine or wheel.

In life: recognizing that you're operating within larger forces, circumstance, temperament, history, that you don't fully control or perceive can produce a kind of humility and reduced self-blame for things genuinely beyond your full control.

Teaching: the next time you're being unusually hard on yourself for something that involved larger forces beyond your full control, remember this image, being caught within a larger, partly hidden mechanism, and let it soften some of that self-blame appropriately.
