other eternal Unmanifested Being distinct from this Unmanifested (Avyakta),
He does not perish when all creatures perish,But indicates that the Akshara
who is to be described now is distinct from the Avyakta. Being ; the Supreme,
the ParaBrahman, called the Akshara. Though distinct from the Avyakta, one
may suppose that He is of the same nature as the Avyakta. To remove this
impression. the Lord qualifies Him by other, meaning thereby that He is
of a different nature from the Avyakta. He is unmanifested, imperceptible
to the senses. He is distinct from the Avyakta mentioned above, which is
Avidya itself, the seed of the whole multitude of created beings ; that
is to say, He is of quite a different nature from the Avyakta. He does not
perish when all beings from Brahma downwards perish. |
