Guest guest Posted August 12, 2001 Report Share Posted August 12, 2001 The search ofr truth involves reflection,the means of fixing the mind on it's object by thinking, concentration, etc. without the aid of articulate repitition of the mantra. It consists of the practice of gathering knowledge for grasping the ultimate truth. This means is called Jnanopaya or Sakthopaya.Knowledge of reality is established through the medium of "origin and reflection" or bimba-pratibimba, the principle whose main factors exist in the lower spheres with their sources in higher spheres.The pasyanti,madhyama,vaikhari that exist in manifestation , have their existance in higher level of para.<br>Since beauty and delight of existance come from the delight that runs through warp and woof of things or the very sap of life that sustains existance, it is natural that illusionary and evanescent objects lure a person.To give one the right direction towards realization of the ultimate truth, the sastra uses the attracting material objects of beauty like women,deer,flower etc. as concrete examples to enable the struggling aspirant understand what the truth is.Thus research affords easy comprehension for an aspirant of common intelligence through the unfoldment of it's symbology.<br>This is called Shaktopaya !<br>1111111111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
