The Twenty-Four Cosmic Principles #60
Lord Kapila’s ancient system of cosmic principles has been highly regarded and widely used by so many of the philosophical and religious thinkers who came after him. The first to “do his homework’ in a complete yet concise way, he managed to lay down the perameters of a comprehensive outline that covers all the main elements in the Three Worlds — gross, subtle, and causal. With all this as a guide, the process of involution is now well outlined for all seekers striving to return to their Source of Existence.
Kalpa — The Concept of Time in Vedic Cosmology #78
For the higher elucidation of the Western cultures in modern times, the dharmic teaching of kalpas is offered forth so as to inform the people of the ancient rishi’s way of looking at time — predominantly that it is a concept in the mind, and ultimately illusory. Also, its appearance, real or not, rolls on far longer than even the western evolutionary theory assigns to the age of the physical universe. The kalpa reckoning takes into account how time expands inside of worlds that are contained within the mind, and in God’s Mind (Mahat). Thus, it broadens the human thinking process far beyond the short-sighted conventional ideas of a very young Western scientific view.
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.
The Stainless Cause of the Universe #74
India’s cosmology is ancient and thorough in its depth and its scope. It is also eternal, since it sites principles that the Divine Being, in all its many aspects, utilizes to project, sustain, and dissolve the many realms of name and form that exist in time and space. Though the Divine Being is beyond causality, is the Causeless Cause, Its amazing Mind, the Mahat, or Hiranyagarbha, facilitates the appearance of countless worlds peopled by an infinite amount of living beings, all under the auspice of the Mahashakti, the Divine Feminine Power. Coming to know of this trickle-down process, from the highest and deepest Escalon on out to the gross, physical plane of existence, the soul very soon reaches for and attains the highest Wisdom that solves all problems, settles all issues, and even puts death to death.
