त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षम तत्व असि -This is the beginning of ATHARVASHIRSH . This is the STOTRA for Lord Ganesh and the first line is त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षम तत्व असि . When people talk about the meaning of it they have standard explanation. YOU ARE THE TATWA . It is true but I feel that the line means little different. In Sanskrit 2 different words are use -PRATYAKSH and APAROKSHA . The meaning of AKSHA is EYES.
When we are talking about a proof -in general talk or legally, we say that 'I saw it with MY OWN EYES . So when we talk about something being REAL , we talk about SEEING IT. For us the eyes or seeing it is 100% proof of something being real. So when we say the first line, it means that YOU ARE THAT TATVA WHICH IS SEEN BY THE EYES. When we talk about the BRAHMAN or the TATVA it can not be perceived by any of the senses .By definition whatever is perceived by the senses is not BRAHMAN. So here we are told that something that we cann0ot perceive by senses , becomes visible for out understanding, and that is LORD GANESH So here we are talking about SAGOON and NIRGOON . The word SAGOON mean- One with GOONAS or qualities and NIRGOON means one without GOONAS. The BRAHMAN has no GOONAS as the GOONAS is belonging to PRAKRUTI . But when we want to see the TATVA or BRAHMAN , then it becomes ONE WITH GOONAS or SAGOON.
So in this line is telling us that if one wants to SEE the BRAHMAN then Lord GANESH IS THAT.
