Sanskrit Verse

Bahir antas cha bhutanam acharam charam eva cha, suksmatvat tad avijneyam dura-stham chantike cha tat

Translation & Meaning

That Brahman is outside and inside all beings, moving and unmoving. Because it is subtle, it is beyond the power of material senses to perceive it. It is very far away yet also very near. The subtlety of Brahman makes direct perception impossible without purified consciousness.

Key Teachings

  • The Divine is both within and beyond all beings
  • Subtlety of Brahman transcends ordinary perception
  • What seems far to the senses is near to the purified heart
