dwelling in the heart of man, is perceived by the heart, the soul,
the mind. They who know It become immortal,"
who, through heart and mind, know Him thus
abiding in the heart, become immortal,"
Jiianam
Anantam Brahma Ananda Rupam Amritam YadVibhuti Shantam
Sivam Advaitam." He is the sat, chit and anand."
In the Gita also, He is spoken of as the Lord of Lords,
IShvara and Mahesvara, the spectator and permitter, supporter
and enjoy er, the Paramatman, the supporter of elements, as
devourer and causer. It is the light of lights and is said to be
beyond Tamas. Wisdom knowable, wisdom gainable, centred
in ever} hoart.
In the Advaita Siddhanta Sastras, He is called
one with His gakti, the
Siva Sat.
One with the world, and different, and both, The light transcendent,
The Lord who guides souls innumerable, in obedience to His Will
(Ajila) and each one s karma ;
The Nirmala Being, untouched by the defects of His creatures ;
Supreme He stands, secondless, pervading
all.
Siva is neither a Rupi nor an Ariipi. He is neither chit nor Achit.
He does not create nor sustain nor perform other functions. He was
never a Yogi nor a Bhogi. Though present in and pervading all these
inseparably, yet he is of a nature different from all these.
