Parat-parataram - 'Beyond the beyond': what you see with your eyes is the world in front of you. But you cannot see your eyes with your own eyes, and in a sense the eyes are beyond the objects seen. Sleep, the unmanifest state, is beyond the wakeful mind. Consciousness is beyond even this unmanifest state and hence is described as beyond the beyond. Note that the word beyond in the preceding sentences should not be construed to mean some other place. Thus the statement that the mind is 'beyond the eyes' does not mean that the mind is hidden somewhere.
