absence of nothing. Aum. ParaSiva, the Self God, must be realized to be known,

does not exist, yet seems to exist; yet existence itself and all states of

mind,

reality of God. Such is the great mystery that yogis, rishis, saints and sages

have realized through the ages. To discover ParaSiva, the

mental concepts of the world or of the God he seeks, he silently repeats,"Neti,

neti--it is not this; it is not that." His quieted consciousness

expands into Satchidananda. He is everywhere, permeating all form in this

blissful state. He remembers his goal, which lies beyond bliss, and

neti--this is not that for which I seek." Through pranayama, through mantra,

through tantra, wielding an indomitable will, the last forces of form, time and

space subside, as the yogi, deep in nirvikalpa samadhi, merges into ParaSiva.

being is both within and without. He transcends even the

transcendent,unmanifest, causal state of the universe." Aum Namah Sivaya.
