Sanskrit Verse

Translation & Meaning

Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and transcendent, beyond the unmanifest state that exists at the time of cosmic dissolution. It is supreme and is never annihilated. When all in the universe is annihilated, that realm is not destroyed. Beyond even the cosmic unmanifest that exists between creation cycles, there is a higher eternal realm that is never destroyed — the transcendental abode of God.
