M. M. NINAN<br />

MANTRA FIFTEEN<br />

hiranmayena patrena satyasyapihitam mukham |<br />

tat tvam pusannapavrnu satyadharmaya drstaye || 15 ||<br />

The Truth is concealed with a golden cover.<br />

Unveil it, O sustainer,<br />

so that the true worshippers may behold the Truth.<br />

hiraëmayena—by a golden effulgence;<br />

pätrena—covering;<br />

satyasya—of the truth;<br />

apihitam—covered, concealed;<br />

mukham—the face;<br />

tat—that ;<br />

tvam—You;<br />

püsaan—O sustainer;<br />

apävrnu—kindly remove;<br />

satya—true;<br />

dharmäya—unto the devotee;<br />

drstaye—unveiled.<br />

The door of the True is covered with a golden disk. Open that, O<br />

Pushan, that we may see the nature of the True.(trans. Max Muller)<br />

The Gnostics cover the truth with great many words of apparent<br />

wisdom and logic. Once those golden cover is removed, we will be<br />

able to see the truth. Truth is for everyone and for the select few or<br />

initiated. You can however hinder the truth from being seen with<br />

golden cover as is done by the gnosis people.<br />

Why do you submit to regulations,<br />
