The path of spirituality is beyond the scope of symbolization. The supra-mental or supra-psychic existence of Parama Puruśa is beyond the territory of our minds. And the feeling of our minds cannot be properly expressed by our motor organs. So our mind is an imperfect medium for conceiving the actualities of supra-psychic existence; and for conveying momentary feelings, our motor organs are imperfect media. All your feelings cannot be expressed through the vocal organ or any other organ; for a small trouble your say, “Uph!” and for a very big trouble also you say, “Uph!” It is very difficult for you and also for others to differentiate the first “Uph!” from the second one. They do not express the same gravity, the same feeling.

Now, when our minds and the motor and the sensory organs fail to express certain psychic feelings, or express them only partially, then how can the mind express or symbolize the Supreme Self? It is impossible. Still, we call that supra-psychic-existential Entity “Parama Puruśa”. This is also a symbolization.

The meaning or inner spirit of this form of symbolization is that when we call Him “Parama Puruśa” we say, “O Parama Puruśa, we call You that in order to express our inability to symbolize You.” Therefore to know Him you have to go beyond the periphery of your whole relative structure and finally attain unity with Him. This alone will be the supreme expression of all human sádhaná.
