Let us examine the mystical concept about the subject at hand. First hand experience suggests, insightfully, what was seen as the “Stambha of Fire” or Molten Rod that burst through after immense concentration was a glimpse of Jiva or Atma? However, one cannot deny the seer who is seeing this noumenon, although vivid as aContinue reading “Kundalini; Stambha of Fire; Self-Realization; Seeing the Self”

Pandora’s Box (Karma)
You chose to shoot the arrow, with all your might, before you were born (just before you died). You manufacture a nuclear bomb of karma, then you want to build yourself a fall-out shelter from the explosion, makes me chuckle. Every day is a new dawn when we open our eyes after sleep, simultaneously, theContinue reading “Pandora’s Box (Karma)”
The Self reveals the Self
Let us consider the statement in Katha Upanishad 1.2.23. Lord of Death, Yama (Lord Vaivasvata) reveals to the thirsty soul, Nachiketas: “Neither, This, Self, Atma, taught nor obtain by logic nor by much hearing, whom even this prayed; by Him found by Him, This the Self reveals body bare.” Commentary by Dippack (The Vaivasvata Gita,Continue reading “The Self reveals the Self”
Seeing God As He Really Is
Let us examine “Beingness” from two standpoints, absolute and relative. From a relative standpoint, our beingness is wholly focussed on the sense of the false self or the non-self, or the false I (mind, body, senses, perception, thoughts, emotions, actions, etc).

Seeing God As He Really Is
Let us examine Sat-Chit-Ananda further. Holy Sage Vasishtha explains to Rama, “…The truth or existence-consciousness-bliss absolute is beyond thought and understanding, it is supreme peace and omnipresent, it transcends imagination and description. There arises naturally in it the faculty of conceptualisation…Here Vasishtha distinguishes the absolute from the relative. One would think when one comes acrossContinue reading “Seeing God As He Really Is”
Seeing God As He Really Is
Let us look at the sovereign statement from a conceptual or lowe perspective SAT-CHIT-ANANDA. I also know That Which Is as SAT-CHIT-ANANTA. In English, BEING/EXISTENCE/LIFE-ABSTRACT INTELLECT/CONSCIOUSNESS-BLISS/HAPPY/PEACE/INFINITE/BOUNDLESS/ETERNAL. What do these concepts/attributes mean? They mean “That Which Is” is neither ASAT nor ACHIT nor DUKKHA. Nor SIMITAM. In English, That Which Is is neither non-being/non-existent/insentient/lifeless nor unconsciousness/comatosed/inertContinue reading “Seeing God As He Really Is”
