Analects of Swami Sivananda

[Guest guest]

(v) Truth Transcendental

 

71. Brahman, the ultimate principle, is unlimited and

undifferentiated. It is the warp and weft of creation in its

unnumeerable forms.

72. From Brahman proceeds the creation, preservation and dissolution

of the universe.

73. Brahman, the ultimate principle, the uncaused cause,

beginningless and endless, is the cause of all manifest phenomena.

74. Brahman or Atman is all-pervading, Immortal, Infinite, Eternal

and unchanging.

75. Brahman is the supreme refuge. It is knowledge independent of the

mind.

76. There is neither thinker nor thought nor the thinkable in

Brahman. It is homogeneous mass of wisdom.

77. Brahman is All Supreme. There is nothing supreme to It. It is

higher than the highest, unthinkable. It is free from the experiences

of the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states.

78. Brahman is beyond number and notion, beyond one and many.

79. As Brahman is infinite, it cannot have anything to support It.

80. Brahman is formless, changeless and unconditioned.

81. Brahman is bliss itself. It is birthless, immutable, eternal,

constant and imperishable.

82. Brahman is biliss itself. Therefore nothing external can imprat

bliss to It.

83. Brahman or the Absolute is vast, wonderful, incomprehensible,

subtler than the subtle, far off beyond the far and here at hand.

84. Brahman or the Absolute is invisible, intangible, motionless and

fathomless.

85. Brahman stands alone. Itr never changes and pervades everywhere.

86. Brahman is ever inactive, yet there is nothing that it does not

do.

87. Brahman is the dweller in the heart. He is granter or desires. He

is the revealer of Himself.

88. Atman or Brahman is He from whom all words turn back unable to

attain Him.

89. Akasa can be compared to Akasa only. Ocean can be compared to

ocean only. Even so, Brahman (Absolute) can be compared to Brahman

only.

90. Drik is the Atman. Drik is the seer. Drisya (seen) is intellect,

senses and the visible objects of the universe.
