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.
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.
Srsti Rahasya — Tantra’s Secret of Creation #98
All of the religious traditions of the world possess some system or ideology that proposes what the origins of life are and where they come from. Of them all, India stands out and is head and shoulders beyond the others, mainly because its cosmology is both sensible to the intellect and philosophically sound. In India’s well-thought, deeply meditated systems of cosmology there is no conjecture based in hope or sentimentality, no faint-hearted appeal leveled towards attracting the soul towards the phenomenal and the occult. There is no force utilized based in fear of damnation or alienation. There is no immortality, either on earth or in heaven. There is just the Eternal beyond them both. Mother India has many darshanas, clear pathways to Freedom, and these the Divine Mother reveals to souls seeking the highest Refuge. With any one of these, like Tantra’s Srsti Rahasya, Origins both physical and spiritual will be plumbed, resulting in the full understanding of the presence and meaning of all worlds and the beings who abide in them.
The Three Eternal Gateways #132
As Vedanta, in its qualified form, states: All beings will be saved; all will see God. That is because the souls of all beings are Eternal, that is, the one Soul in all, called Atman, is perfect and indivisible, even when it seems to take many forms. In the taking of these forms, beings pass in and out of the embodied condition through channels, nadis, or gateways, as it were. This is a strictly inward process and has nothing to do with outer space. This dharma chart puts this cosmic process in terms of those who follow Truth dur ing their lifetimes, those who abandon Truth, and those who have realized their ever-perfect nature and embody to teach it to others. Two sets of four doorways are also illustrated here, so as to inform aspiring souls of the reasons for and mediums utilized via people’s choices and decisions in the rebirth process.
