This un\u00adbounded force has neither beginning nor end. Verily, it is the Divine Mind of Lord \u015aiva. The Vedas say, \u201cHe is God, hidden in all beings, their inmost soul who is in all. He watches the works of creation, lives in all things, watches all things. He is pure consciousness, be\u00ad\u00adyond the three conditions of nature.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is God \u015aiva\u2019s Pure Consciousness? \u015aLOKA 18Par\u0101\u015bakti is pure consciousness, the substratum or primal substance flowing through all form.
