Verses from Scripture on Our Supreme God

[Guest guest]

Upanishad 2.5.15. VE, 716 He, the Self, is not this, not this. He is

ungraspable, for He is not grasped. He is indestructible, for He cannot be

destroyed,. He is unattached, for He does not cling to anything. He is unbound,

He does not suffer, nor is He injured. Shukla Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka

Upanishad 4.5.15. VE, 421 To Rudra, Lord of sacrifice, of hymns and balmy

medicines, we pray for joy and health and strength. He shines in splendor like

the sun, refulgent as bright gold is He, the good, the best among the

Gods. Rig Veda 1.43.4-5, 64 Now, that golden Person who is seen within the

sun has a golden beard and golden hair. He is exceedingly brilliant all, even

to the fingernail tips. His eyes are even as a Kapyasa lotus flower. His name

is high. He is raised high above all evils. Verily, he who knows this rises

high above all evils. Sama Veda, Chhandogya Upanishad 1.6.6-7. UPH, 183 The

bodily form of the Almighty, being constituted of powers, is not

comparable to ours. Most conspicuous is the absence of anava. His bodily form,

having a head, etc., is composed of five mantras, corresponding each to the

five activities -- Isha, Tat Purusha, Aghora, Vama and Aja. Mrigendra Agama,

Jnana Pada 3.A.8A-9A. MA, 119-20 The Lord He is: Hari, Brahma and Rudra. He

is the Seed of the corporeal world. Distant and near is He. He is

sugar-cane-sweet ambrosia divine. Thus He stands, close to jiva. Tirumantiram

2365. TM As movement within wind, as sugar within sugarcane, as ghee within

milk, as juice within fruit, as fragrance within flower, thus does the Lord

pervade all. Tirumantiram 2639. TM Himself creates. Himself preserves.

Himself destroys. Himself obscures. Himself, all these He does and then grants

mukti -- Himself the all-pervading Lord. Tirumantiram 1809. TM An earring of

bright, new gold glows on one ear; a coiled conch shell sways on the

other. On one side He chants the melodies of the ritual Veda; on the other He

gently smiles. Matted hair adorned with sweet konrai blossoms on one half of

His head, and a woman's curls on the other, He comes. The one is the nature of

His form, the other, of Hers; and both are the very essence of His beauty.

Tirumurai 4.8.10. PS, 105 Bearing Ganga on spreading, matted locks, the

forehead eye sparkling, the breath spirating as tempestuous wind, the

immaculate form shining radiant as the clear sky, the holy feet stretching to

the ends of Earth, the blemishless heart serving as pedestal, the Vedas

chanting aloud of themselves, the right hand that grants refuge and the left

hand that grants favors both appropriately

gesturing, the nada sound of drum filling the air all around -- thus Siva

dances. Tayumanavar 15.4-5. HT, 177 Love of Siva's feet eradicates bad

karma. Love of Siva's feet grants you clarity of mind. Love of Siva's feet

imbues the heart with gladness. Love of Siva's feet is consciousness itself.

Natchintanai, "Love the Feet..." NT, 164 Sivaya Namah
