Jene Unvergängliche Wirklichkeit—jenseits aller Eigenschaften und jenseits jedes Maßes—verkünden die Heiligen als das eine Licht selbst. Weitreichend und doch erkennbar, makellos und verehrungswürdig, wohnt sie im Herzen aller und ist höchst reinigend.

Visual Art Cues

FAQs

The Supreme is the imperishable, attributeless Light within all beings, and remembrance of Him is profoundly purifying.

Prabhāsakṣetra is the narrative setting; the verse articulates the Lord’s universal, inner presence.

None stated; the emphasis is contemplative knowledge and reverence.
