Transcendence


Beyond Anything


Nadabindumayo Vaapi Nachandrardha Nirodhikaha
Na chakra krama sambhinno Nacha Shakthiswaroopakaha
The Supreme reality is not the cosmic sound of Om. It cannot be perceived by exciting any energy centre of the body. It is neither the experience of the six chakras of the Muladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddhi and Agnya, nor is it all the forms of energy that is manifested in the universe.
If nothing is the form of Bhairava, where is the need to know and experience different forms of energy or go through different levels of consciousness?
All that we see, hear, speak, feel, smell and think about are but pointers to the ultimate consciousness that is the experiencer of all the experiences. When I need to show the moon behind the branches of a tree, I have to point to the tree. This is called the Chandrashakha Nyaya in Sanskrit. But to see the moon one has to look where the finger points toward and not at the tip of the finger or the tree. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
