He alone verily causes Bliss. Tait. Up. 2-7. Where is verily none else higher and subtler than this, which is higher than the high, and greater than the great; which is one, manifest, of endless forms, the whole universe, the ancient, beyond darkness. (Mahanara. Up. 1.) The green-colored, beyond the darkness. (Tait. Aran. 3-13). The Rudra, the Maharishi, Transcending the universe, first saw Hiranya Garbha the first of the Devas then being born. (Mahanara. Up. 12). The sage reaches Him who is the womb of all beings, the witness of all, transcending Tamas. He is Brahma, He is Siva, He is Indra; He the indestructible, the Supreme, the Self-Luminous. (Kaivalya. Up).
Note: - This represents a true and Verbatim account of an actual conversation held with a Pundit. There were several graduates and Pundits present. The Pundit ever had anon wanted to drop into a simile or metaphor and he was sternly kept out of it. A Vaishnava Acharya who was present tried to take up the Pundits cudgels but failed also, and he had to admit the point raised herein is the real difficulty in Sankaras system. Of course others can give other definitions and vary the answers given, but they can in no way clear the ground.
