MahAnArAyaNOpanishat - manthra-5

=======================================================:

 

atha: param nAnyadaNIyasagm hi

parAth param yanmahathO mahAntham

yadEkamavyakthamanantharUpam

vishvam purANam thamasa: parasthAth

 

Translation:

 

There is no other entity, which is subtler than this. It is higher than the

high. It is vaster than the vast. It is the One. It is the unmanifest. It is

of infinite forms. It is the universe. It is the most ancient. It is beyond

'thamas' or 'prakrthi'.

 

Notes:

 

It is higher than the high. The 'jiva' is higher than the non-sentient

matter and 'paramAthman' is higher than that 'jiva'. He is the ordainer of

both the orders of the 'chith' and the 'achith'. It is greater than the

great and it is subtler than the subtle as it is pervading every other thing

and as it is capable of entering into the subtle atom. There is nothing

neither vaster than this nor subtler than this. At the time of delusion it

alone resides withdrawing everything other than itself, into itself and so

it is designated as the 'one'. It is called 'avyaktha' as it has the

unmanifested as its body. It is having infinite forms, as it is the self of

infinite forms of the variety and multiplicity of this universe. It is

therefore 'vishvarUpa' or having the universe as its body. It is without any

beginning and so is the most primeval. It is in its non-material abode

called 'paramapada', which is beyond darkness or 'prakrthi' and beyond sense

perception. Though He is residing as the inner self of the manifold universe

of multiplicity, He remains one and undivided.
