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

SEVENTH SUTRA. 81
(c) The last illustration contains a favorite analogy. God
is the sea or the vast space giving room to a vast volume of
water and things contained in it, "the all Container" "The
Sarva Viyapaka." The water is the soul which is Vyapti and the
salt of the water is the Malam which is Vyappia. The import of
the analogy in this place is that though it is the sea which
gives room to the water and the salt, yet the salt does not attach
itself to the sea (space) but to the water. And the salt though
it is always present in sea water, the water in its original or real
condition, is not so connected and this connection can be separa-
ted.
