He is not Hari, He is not the Lord Siva

by Civivakkiyar
(9th Century) Timeline

English version by
Kamil V. Zvelebil

Original Language
Tamil
Yoga / Hindu : Shaivite (Shiva)
9th Century

He is not Hari, He is not the Lord Siva.
He is the Ultimate Cause,
In the Beyond of the Beyond,
Transcending Blackness, Redness, and Whiteness,
Immoveable.
Try to understand:
He is not big, He is not small.
He is Infinite Distance,
Immovable,
Transcending even
Supreme Quiesence.
