brahma te hṛdayaṁ śuklaṁ tapaḥ-svādhyāya-saṁyamaiḥ yatropalabdhaṁ sad vyaktam avyaktaṁ ca tataḥ param
WORD BY WORD
TRANSLATION
| The Vedas are Your spotless heart, and through them one can perceive — by means of austerity, study and self-control — the manifest, the unmanifest and the pure existence transcendental to both.
|
PURPORT
| Vyakta, “the manifest,” consists of the visible things of this world, and avyakta consists of the subtle, underlying causes of cosmic creation. The Vedas point toward the transcendental realm of Brahman, which lies beyond all material cause and effect.
