In Praise of Supreme Meaning

1. Now I shall praise the "Supreme Truth" (Paramartha) that is of the nature of the ultimate welfare of aspirants. Of all the powerful yogas this is the most powerful means for liberation.
2. Actually, it is very easy, but it has become difficult for people because they have missed the importance of the association with wise and virtuous people (satsang).
3. There are many practices which offer results in the future, but the realization of Brahman and the essence of vedic science can be experienced immediately.
4. It is present everywhere, but it is not perceived. It is indifferent to everything. It sees everything, yet always remains ever unseen itself.
5. It is open like the sky, but it is only the competent yogis who know this hidden path. Others generally do not easily come to know the hidden meaning.
6. It is the essence of Self-essence. It is permanent and never suffers any damage or loss. Thieves can never take it away, no matter how hard they may try.
7. It has no fear of king or government, nor of fire or fierce animals. It would not be correct to say anything such as this.
8. The "Absolute Reality," Parabrahman, cannot be moved. It will never leave its place even after the end of time. It remains always where it is.
9. It is one's own true belonging that never changes. It never increases or decreases over time.
10. It cannot deteriorate or ever become invisible, yet it cannot be seen without a Sadguru’s teaching.
11. Powerful yogis in the past realized Paramartha and called it the "Supreme Secret."
12. For those who tried to find it, the meaning was revealed, while for others, even though it was very close, it became unattainable even after many lives.
13. The wonder of this Paramartha is that once known, the signs of birth and death disappear, and one attains "Ultimate Liberation" (Sayujya Mukti) which is the identification with That which is nearest.
14. With discrimination (viveka), Illusion disappears, and one comes to realize Parabrahman through contemplative thoughtfulness and inquiry.
15. When Brahman is experienced fully, the entire appearance of the creation of the five elements becomes submerged in Brahman and is felt to be insignificant.
16. The worldly life appears untrue, and Illusion is seen as a false story when the "Pure Self" is perceived inwardly through discrimination.
17. When established in Brahman, doubts and suspicions are gone, and the entirety of creation becomes like an old tattered and torn rag that is fit to be discarded.
18. Like this, is Paramartha. One who puts in effort to realize it is one who is acting in their own best interest. To what extent can I describe the capacity of this most powerful and effective path?
19. Because of this Paramartha, Brahma and other gods find contentment, and yogis become absorbed in Absolute Reality.
20. Paramartha is the contentment of all who are accomplished with the "Supreme Experience." Even the ignorant become pure in the company of saints.
21. Paramartha makes life worthwhile. This Supreme Meaning is the real savior of the world, and is the true spiritual life that gives realization which is beyond this world.
22. Paramartha is the support of the ascetics and aspirants. It shows the way to cross over the ocean of the worldly life.
23. One who has this Paramartha is like a true ruler, while one without this Paramartha is the equivalent of a beggar. This Supreme Truth cannot be compared to anything.
24. Only through the merit of innumerable lives does one arrive at this Supreme Truth through which the Supreme Self (Paramatma) is directly experienced.
25. One who has realized the Supreme Self has made his life worthwhile, while all others can only be said to have been born and neglected their rightful inheritance.
26. Now let all of this be. Without any attention to realizing God, those people who only strive for success in worldly life are fools who do not even see his face.
27. Those who are wise follow the path of Paramartha and make life worthwhile. With devotion to Lord Vishnu the fame of those great ones who have come before is enhanced.
