SIXTH SUTRA. 63

ed as neither, He will be a nonentity. If He is meditat-
ed as an object of meditation though He is beyond human
meditation, this will be also a fiction. The Param can only
be meditated with the aid of His Arul. Therefore He is
not a nonentity.
(d.) To be known by the soul, He is not different from
itself. As He is even present in its understanding it can-
not know Him. As He in fact makes the soul see, its
understanding cannot comprehend and point Him out to
the soul, just as the eye which the soul enables it to see
and yet is one with it cannot see the soul.
(e.) God is not one who can be pointed out as "That."
If so, not only will He be an object of knowledge, it will
imply a Gnatha who understands Him as such. He is not
different from the soul as an object of knowledge. He be-
comes one with the soul pervading its understanding
altogether. The soul so feeling itself is also Sivam.
