शिवज्ञानबोध (मेय्कण्डार - शैव सिद्धान्त का आधारभूत दार्शनिक सूत्र ग्रन्थ)

SIXTH SUTRA. 69
true Brahm; it is only its reflection. And the science of this
imperfect Brahm, this Sabda Brahm or Brahm in words is only
a science of a lower order. The true science is that which has
the true Brahm, The Para Brahmam for its subject." That is,
the Vedas themselves resolve into Asat and they cannot know Sat.
These thoughts are not only found in almost every page of our
sacred literature, but they can be met with even in every popular
song, and story. If I attempt here any quotation, these will in
themselves form matter for a separate book, but I am unwiliing to
leave it withouta few, seeing the importance of the subject. Turning
over the first few pages of 'Thiruvachakam' we meet with these :
"பரமன் காண்க"
(Behold the Supreme)
"சொற்பதங் கடந்ததொல்லோன் காண்க"
(Behold The most Ancient God who cannot be described by
words)
"சித்தமுஞ்செல்லா சேட்சியன் காண்க"
(Behold the Incomprehensible Being who cannot be reach-
ed by the Human mind)
"தேவரு மறியாச் சிவனே காண்க"
(Behold the Lord unknown to the Immortals)
"சொற்பதங் கடந்த தொல் லோன்
உள்ளத்துணர்ச்சியிற் கொள்ளவும் படான்
கண்முதற்புலனாற் காட்சியுமில்லோன்"
'He is passing the description of words, not comprehensible
by the mind, not vissible to the eye and other senses' (note
here the words 'eye and other senses')
"யுரையுணர் விறந்த வொருவ போற்றி."
(Praise be to the One who is passing speech and thought)
"வேதங்கள் ஐயா வெனவோங்கி
ஆழ்ந்தகன்ற நுண்ணியனே."
(Thou hast passed far beyond the reach of the Vedas, which
called loudly for Thee)
