Parastasmaat tu bhaavo’nyo’vyakto’vyaktaatsanaatanah;
Yah sa sarveshu bhooteshu nashyatsu na vinashyati.
20. But verily there exists, higher than the unmanifested, another unmanifested Eternal who
is not destroyed when all beings are destroyed.
COMMENTARY
Another unmanifested Eternal refers to Para Brahman, which is distinct from
the unmanifested (primordial Nature), and which is of quite a different nature. It is
superior to Hiranyagarbha (the creative Intelligence) and the unmanifested Nature because It is
their cause. It is not destroyed when all beings from Brahma down to a blade of grass are destroyed.
