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.
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.
The Sacred Doctrine of Conjunctions #149
Connections are precious, especially in a world whose living beings leave so much of existence in a disconnected state. In ancient India, the seers of Truth looked to see clearly, via introspection and meditation, then moved to make connections of all and sundry around them and within them. Aspects of nature, matters involving acts and deeds, and mainly, thoughts that seemed random and meaningless —all were brought together into satisfying union. This wisdom chart shows some of the main conjunctions that were important to the rishis, and which today will bring deeper meaning to life in the world as well.
