Pauri-5 – Same as above
How to think about the periphery of meeting and separation, because it is a continuous process among the creatures. What is laughing and what are the limits of weeping and wailing? How to describe the virtue, sin and the doors of liberation. Nature is indescribable because in it one extends to millions and millions. The evaluation of that Great Giver cannot be done and nothing can be told about His expansion. His ineffable story, beyond all bases is always unmanifest.
