विभूति-योगः (Vibhūti-yoga) — Exemplary Manifestations as a Contemplative Index

Devanagari script

जो अव्यक्त 'अक्षर'* इस नामसे कहा गया है, उसी अक्षर नामक अव्यक्तभावको परम गतिः कहते हैं तथा जिस सनातन अव्यक्तभावको प्राप्त होकर मनुष्य वापस नहीं आते, वह मेरा परम धाम है

Transliteration

yad avyaktam akṣaram iti uktaṁ, tam āhuḥ paramāṁ gatim; yaṁ prāpya na nivartante, tad dhāma paramaṁ mama

Translation

ਜਿਸ ਅਵ੍ਯਕਤ ਨੂੰ ‘ਅਕ੍ਸ਼ਰ’ ਕਿਹਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ, ਉਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਮ ਗਤੀ ਆਖਦੇ ਹਨ। ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਫਿਰ ਵਾਪਸੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੁੰਦੀ, ਉਹੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਪਰਮ ਧਾਮ ਹੈ।
