पुरुष एवेदं सर्वं यद्भूतं यच्च भव्यम् ।
उतामृतत्वस्येशानो यदन्नेनातिरोहति ॥२॥

It is only the Reality, Purusha, that is beyond what Is, Has Been ,and what is yet to come.
The Reality is Immortal and is and beyond the world of Objects.
This verse explains that the world as it appears is the Abode of the Reality and what ever has been and what is yet to come.
The world appears because of Maya or Illusion.
This Illusion is of two kinds.
At the individual level it is called Avidya or Ignorance and at the Cosmic level it is Called Maya.
Awareness, the fundamental of Knowledge is removal of Ignorance , not acquisition of any thing new or from outside.
This Maya will be explained later in the Vedas and Purans as the Attribute of Vishnu.
The concept of Mortality , as Knowledge is,a Negative one.
The absence of Immortality is Mortality is Mortality according to Hinduism for Immortality is permanent.
The Reality which is called Purusha is immanent in all these and yet goes beyond them.
Existence , in the Past,Present and The Future is an Attribute of Reality.
As the world is made of appearances there are multi-verses and The Purusha is Immanent in and goes beyond them.
This will be explaines in detail in Shikshavalli ,Bgriguvalliand Narayanavalli of the Taittriya Mantra Kosa.
