The Mighty River of Brahman #185
In the view of the ancient Indian rishis, the look at, or perspective on, the Absolute Reality, called Brahman, was all-inclusive. Beyond form, transcending time and space, indivisible and all-pervasive, free of all attributes — this was Divine Reality. But they also left room for Brahman inside of the worlds of name and form, or Brahman with attributes. In this wisdom chart, Brahman is compared to a mighty river with all its features, characteristics, and movements— many of them containing all the risks and dangers that relativity and life here on earth is known for. In the words of Sri Ramakrishna, God must contain the full weight of the fruit, i.e., not just the flesh which undoubtedly is the Essence, but also the skin, seeds, pit, and core of the fruit as well.
Vedic Triputis & Quintuplications #91
If the subject of numbers has any real mystery to unfold, it is to be found in eastern cosmology, not western mathematics. It is linked mostly to triplets and quintuplications that all connect inward to philosophy, and from there to spirituality. In alambanic fashion, the awakening soul’s most important preliminary task is to take account of all that is around him/her. But unlike the ordinary soul who sees, desires, covets, grasps, then becomes attached to all that is beheld, striving to own it outright, the yogi/yogini begins to search for the connections between all outer manifestations after meditating upon on all things individually, and this is done devoid of the slightest desire to possess. The secret of connectivity, once observed arightly, lays bare the essence of any given thing, and perceiving this, the seeker is free. Thus, connectivity reveals oneness,
and that the secret of oneness infills everything. Thereafter, one only has to “sit up straight” and notice.
Quintessential Quintuplications #86
The crucially important but almost entirely forgotten dharma teaching of Panchakarana — how manifestation from the internal source proceeds outwards to the gross physical universe in sets of fives — gets presented in this helpful chart. It shows all dimensions of this process of expression, from subtle principles to the five elements, as well as other sets of quintuplications that both serve and support each other in the interim. With this ancient system brought back into contemporary consciousness, dedicated meditators can “connect the dots” leading from outer life to inner existence, like lost souls following a trail of bread crumbs back to the Source.
Nirguna & Saguna Brahman #134
God with form, and God without form, is a fascinating subject. Along with bondage and liberation, it is also one of the subtlest dualities to meditate upon. Few beings spend any time concentrating of formlessness; there are just too many allurements in the realms of name and form that are more attracting. Such beings would rather “eat sugar than be sugar,” as the philosophical term states. But the knowers of formless Reality respond that these souls do not know the Bliss of being sugar. Whatever the case may be, pondering Reality beyond attributes (gunas) while experiencing that selfsame Reality with attributes explains the bliss of the realized soul. From Brahman, to the Trinity, to the realms of higher and lowers deities, and all the way out to the physical universe, the Light of Divine Awareness shines. It is all a matter of how many or how few coverings are in the way of the seer of Truth.
