Sankhya Acharyas #207
When speaking about the masterful philosophy titled Sankhya, it must be done in terms of millennia rather than centuries. That is, even before the time of Sri Krishna, this great truth system was known and utilized by ancient rishis. For this reason, and unfortunately, both the scriptures of Sankhya and its founders as well have disappeared for the most part, leaving only a few names and, thankfully, a small host of wisdom teachings from that darshana. In this wisdom chart some of those hoary names of the past are gathered, along with some quotes and comments on its agelessness and profundity.
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.
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.
3 Bondages & 3 Liberations #212
The usage of key Sanskrit words in the Vedanta philosophy illuminate the life and mind of seekers of Truth. For instance, moksha and samsara, namely freedom and bondage, are both veiled from the gaze and thinking of humanity in general. That is, many do not know they are actually in bondage, and of those who do, they have little idea of the possibility of gaining freedom. This wisdom chart from Lord Kapila’s teachings in Sankhya Yoga make all this perfectly clear by revealing the three types of bondage, along with the three types of freedom. Via such an informative teaching, living beings can discover what binds them, and follow through to select the mode of practice that will set them on the path to freedom.
