From gross to subtle
Vishesha avishesha linga matra lingam Gunaparvani
The gross world of names and forms have these four qualities - some objects can be defined as they can be perceived by the five sense organs - something like a mountain for instance.
Some cannot be defined like empty space and the particles of light emitted by people - called the aura. Some can be identified by symbolocial understanding like the world can be understood by a map.
But some have no symbols. whatsoever as these are the manifestations of different qualities.
-Swahilya Shambhavi.
