महतः परमव्यक्तमव्यक्तात्पुरुषः परः ।
पुरुषान्न परं किंचित्सा काष्ठा सा परा गतिः ॥ 11

BEYOND THE GREAT- MAHAT IS UNMANIFESTED -AVYAKTA -
BEYOND THE AVYAKATA IS PURUSHA,
BEYOND THE PURUSH THERE IS NOTHING AND
THAT IS BEST AND THAT IS THE HIGHEST GOAL ||11
This Shlok is continuation od previous one but has more things added to it This has some information on the concept of origin of this universe. So the objects that we see are definitely Gross and then senses that perceive them are little bit less gross. Then the mind that understands the nature of the objects is subtler and the intellect that analyses it is still subtler. But now we are talking about beyond that. So in Hindu concept anything that can be perceived is object and not the CONSCIOUSNESS. So the gross objects are seen outside and so they are not and the sense organs are also perceived - i can see clearly or i may have poor vision-etc so they are not and then the mind . We can perceive the changes in mind - quite mind , agitated mind etc so that is not and then the intellect - .We can see how intellect also changes and so it is not. The consciousness is beyond it and when that is confined to a PHYSICAL body due to OUR IGNORANCE or MAYA, we call it JIVA.
In the beginning of the universe - the Big Bang there is Disturbance in the singularity. The singularity is the result of previous universe having dissolved and becoming ONE. There are 3 Gunas and everything else. So with the disturbance or imbalance in the 3 Gunas or the Qualities, the new cycle starts . The MAHAT -GREAT, TATVA -PRINCIPLE is manifested. Beyond this Manifested is UN-manifested Principle and beyond that is the ULTIMATE PRINCIPAL -the so called PURUSH or loosely translated in English as SPIRIT. There is NOTHING beyond the PURUSH. Some believe that the Purush and Prakruti or Nature are different . Other feel that they APPEAR different due to Maya or ignorance and in fact there are ONE only. But anyway when they come together , new cycle starts.So all the Manifested Unverse is projection of the PURUSH and THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND IT. AND THIS IS THE FANAL GOAL FOR ALL OF US.
( The origin of 3 Gunas and 5 MAHABHUTE - Great Elements and Mind , Intellect and Ego and Chitta , - they all come from NATURE or Prakruti and if the reader is interested then they can check my blog of Ptanjali Sutra Yoga .It is very interesting and in my view it is similar to the Scientific Theory of Big Bang.)
