sarvataḥ pāṇipādaṁ tat
sarvato 'kṣiśiromukham sarvataḥ
śrutimalloke sarvamāvṛtya tiṣṭhati

With hands and feet everywhere,
with eyes, heads and mouths
everywhere, with ears everywhere,
He exists in the worlds, enveloping
all. The Paramātman (supreme
spirit) is all pervading

POWERFUL COGNITION

the Universal Energy connects every being. There is no difference in this space of consciousness between you and me. Here, all are various forms of God, all are manifestations of the same divinity.

सर्वेन्द्रियगुणाभासं सर्वेन्द्रियविवर्जितम् ।
असक्तं सर्वभृच्चैव निर्गुणं गुणभोक्तृ च
॥ १३=१५ ॥

sarvendriya-guṇābhāsaṁ sarvendriya-
vivarjitaṁ asaktaṁ sarva-bhṛccaiva
nirguṇaṁ guṇabhoktṛ ca

The Paramātman is the original source of all the senses. Yet, He is beyond all the senses. He is unattached. Although the consciousness is the maintainer of all the living beings, yet He transcends the modes of the nature and at the same time He is the master of the modes of our material nature

POWERFUL COGNITION

We depend on Him, who is the Cosmic intelligence, for anything to happen. At the same time, without getting involved, the Universal energy is a witness to all activities and all life forms.

Paramashiva seated on a throne

The supreme truth exists both
within and without, it is present in
everything mobile or immobile. It
is not knowable through the senses
as it is very subtle. Though far, yet
it is the nearest

POWERFUL COGNITION

The supreme truth is inside and outside all living entities. It is moving and non-moving on account of being subtle. It is near and far. Everything is included in this space.
