ಎಲ್ಲ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳ ಗುಣಗಳಿಂದ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿಸುತ್ತಾ, ಎಲ್ಲ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಂದ ರಹಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ; ಅಸಕ್ತವಾಗಿಯೂ, ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಪೋಷಿಸುತ್ತಲೂ; ನಿರ್ಗುಣವಾಗಿಯೂ, ಗುಣಗಳನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವಂತೆಯೂ ಇದೆ.
Shining through the functions of all the organs, (yet) devoid of all the organs; unattached, and verily the supporter of all; without ality, and the perceiver of alities;
ಪರಬ್ರಹ್ಮವು ಯಾವುದೇ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳಿಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೂ, ಎಲ್ಲ ಇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಕಾಶಪಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದು ಸ್ವತಃ ಯಾವುದೇ ಲೌಕಿಕ ಗುಣಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಂಟಿಕೊಳ್ಳದೆ, ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಪೋಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಎಲ್ಲ ಗುಣಗಳ ಅನುಭವಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ ನಿಗೂಢ ಮತ್ತು ವಿರೋಧಾಭಾಸದ ಸ್ವರೂಪವನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಅಂದರೆ ಅದು ನಿರಾಕಾರವಾಗಿದ್ದರೂ ಸಗುಣ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
Brahman sees without eyes? hears without ears? smells without nose? eats without mouth? feels without skin? grasps without hands? walks without feet. He is the unseen seer? the unheard hearer? the unthought thinker. Other than Him there is no seer? no hearer? no thinker. He is the Self? the Inner Ruler? the Immortal. (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III.7.23) He is free from the,alities of Nature and yet He is the enjoyer of the alities.All the senses The five organs of knowledge and the five organs of action? the inner senses? mind and intellect come under the term all the senses. The organs of action and those of knowledge perform their functions in conjunction with the mind and the intellect. They cannot function independently. Therefore? the mind and the intellect are included in the term all the senses.Brahman is transcendental and unmanifest? but It manifests Itself through the limiting adjuncts of the extrnal and the internal senses. As It is destitute of the senses It is unattached and yet It supports all. It is the support or substratum of everything. It is destitute of the alities of Nature and yet It is the enjoyer of those alities. Brahman is really mysterious.This verse is taken from the Svetasvataropanishad 3.17.
