Uttarkasi Days 24

One must understand that the world is unreal by way of enquiring into the principles proclaimed by the Brahma Sutras viz 'janmadasya' .The supreme Brahman alone has spread out to appear as the universe by vivarta ('manifestation' as against parinama--evolution). With the aid of scriptural utterances such as ýato va' and one's own intellect the truth will shine that Siva alone is the cause behind this manifestation. - Sree Siva Rahasyam

Uttarkasi Days 23

The most confidential of all secrets was abridged and granted by Siva. That which is spoken as Self is non-self only; the mind (which speaks thus) is non-self also. The world too is non-self. Be certain that there is no non-self. - Sri Siva Rahasyam

Uttarkasi Days 22

Salutations to Siva glowing with the sun, the moon and the fire (as the three eyes), with a forehead aglow with the triple stripes of sacred ash; serpent-decked; with matted locks tied up as jatajuta shining with the crescent moon and the one who wraps the elephant hide around his waist as garment.

Uttarkasi Days 21

Uttarkasi Days 20

"Brahma puchcham pratishtha" Brahman is the 'stabilizing' tail of the world.

Maheswara, the great God, is that which remains over after everything is annihilated.
