परमार्थसार (महामाहेश्वर अभिनवगुप्त - त्रिक-दर्शन, अद्वैत शैव साधना एवं सान्वय सटीक)

52 Paramārthasāra of Abhinavagupta falling off in the process of husking, is called kimśāruka, 'syur' in Kashmiri. That syur is the germ of the seedling. Tuṣa is the name of the outer chaff of a rice grain. If these three elements are re- moved from a paddy seed, it cannot sprout into a seedling. The three impurities of a finite being have been compared here with these three elements of a paddy-seed. आत्मज्ञो न कुतश्चन बिभेति सर्वं हि तस्य निजरूपम् । नैव च शोचति यस्मात् परमार्थे नाशिता नास्ति ॥ ५८ ॥ 58. Ātmajño na kutaścana bibheti sarvaṃ hi tasya nija-rūpam Naiva ca śocati yasmāt paramārthe nāśitā nāsti. A person who realizes his real nature does not feel any dread from any quarters because everything is his own self. He does not experience any grief because, in reality, there is no death or destruction. A person can be afraid of some phenomenon other than his own self. When everything is experienced as one's own self, what can become a cause of fear? A person is overwhelmed with grief on account of either the death of some near or dear or the destruc- tion of some property. How can there be any grief when there is neither any death nor any destruction in the view of a Śivayogin who has realized the real nature of his self? अतिगूढ-हृदय-गञ्ज-प्ररूढ-परमार्थ-रत्न-सञ्चयतः । अहमेवेति महेश्वरभावे का दुर्गतिः कस्य ॥ ५६ ॥ 59. Ati-gūḍha-hṛdaya-gañja-prarūḍha- paramārtha-ratna-sañcayataḥ Ahameveti maheśvara-bhāve kā durgatiḥ kasya. What can be taken as a misery or misfortune and for whom can it be taken like that when the heaps of the jewels of the Absolute Reality are fully accumulated inside the deeply hidden treasury of one's inner self and when the supreme and universal Godhead is realized as one's own nature? Hṛdaya is not the fleshy organ known as heart. It is the inner self, the main centre of all the functions of animation. The boun- ties of supreme Godhead are the jewels of paramārtha.
