Adhyātma Taxonomy: Elements, Faculties, and Guṇas
Devanagari script
तस्मात् सूक्ष्मात् सूक्ष्मतरं नास्ति स्थूलतरं ततः,उस सूक्ष्मस्वरूप परमात्मासे बढ़कर सूक्ष्मतर वस्तु कोई नहीं है, उससे बढ़कर स्थूलतर वस्तु भी कोई नहीं है। उसके सब ओर हाथ पैर हैं, सब ओर नेत्र, सिर और मुख हैं तथा सब ओर कान हैं। वह संसारमें सबको व्याप्त करके स्थित है
Translation
Therefore, nothing is subtler than the subtlest, and nothing is vaster or more substantial than the vastest. That Supreme Self, of subtle nature, surpasses both the subtle and the great. On every side are its hands and feet; on every side its eyes, heads, and faces; and on every side its ears. Pervading all, it stands enveloping the whole world.
