Lord Brahma’s Universal Projection #83
The dharmic teachings coming from ancient Vedic times are replete with wisdom concerning both God with Form, and God beyond form — what was termed Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman in those times. Importantly, the connections between the two, i.e., God with attributes and God beyond attributes, proved the whole point of Absolute Existence to the ancients, described then as a single state of Consciousness that possessed the ability to bifurcate into two, then express Itself through the many — all without ever separating Its Essence in any way. Thus, when even gods and illumined souls take births in the outer realm with humankind, the intrinsic oneness of all paths and peoples gets well acknowledged under the auspice of Lord Brahma.
The Meaning of Maya, & A Subtler Look at Panchakarana #108
In this age, Swami Vivekananda has brought crystalline clarity to the subject of Maya and what it means. It is five fold, i.e., name, form, time, space, and causality. Other forms of five pepper its inner and outer regions as well, and if they are studied and known, this esoteric knowledge will carry the transmigrating soul to new levels of spiritual awakening. The Mother of Maya, Mahamaya, will become pleased with the devotee who strives to pierce through the veils of nescience and arrive blissfully at the farthest shores of nondual Awareness.
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.
The Thirty-Six Cosmic Principles of Shaivism #148
Utilizing Lord Kapila’s original twenty-four tattvas as its basis, the various philosophy schools inside of the darshana of Shaivism have fashioned an umbrella of subtle principles over the top, a sort of frosting on the cake of Indian philosophy in general. But much more than a sweetening, the upper twelve tattvas cover a range that had remained hitherto unexplored by most inner travelers of the terrain of consciousness. What was revealed as a result came in the form of vibrational fields too subtle for the mind to fathom through rationale and speculation. Contact with such ultimately living principles as Ishvara and Sadasiva brought to the fore the very meaning of direct darshan with higher deities that stretched far beyond mere visualization. Even a basic study of these spandas alerts the mind to their existence, opening up close relations in the near future.
