Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 dear friend richard om namo bhagawate rudraya even thouhg i do not know the exact meaning of this verse, in vedic metaphysics we refer to three images viz. real, unreal and false. real is what you see, feel and experience unreal is what you see but could not feel and experience false is what you imagine but could not see, feel or experience. unreal is akin to an image of yourself in a mirror or seeing sun or moon reflection in the water. false is something you see in your dreams viz. a ten headed monster etc. which does not exist. in higher planes of philosophical teachings even the body and mind are branded as unreal and only the soul (god) within is real. the famous verse "ekam sat, vipraa bahudha vadanti" means reality is one, learnt people give different names to it. some translations mean this sat as god but in reality it is truth or the reality which is your soul. every one knows that same is the power in all electrical appliances with different names and that power is never seen. similarly soul (god) is the same in all living beings which is never seen. this is the reason why realised people do antar yatra (inward march) to see, feel and experience god instead of pilgrimages. in praise of lord shiva and with best wishes arjun , "Richard Shaw-Brown II" <rsbj66> wrote: > > "A reflection of the Sun may be experienced in place of the Sun, but it's illumination is > never possible independent of the Sun." > > ---Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita: Madhya-lila, Chap. 25, Verse 117 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 One interpretation could be that a reflection of the sun is a ruby, and the ruby cannot function independant of it's lord Surya. In other words, Ruby is powered by the Sun. sacred-objects, paulagirlBVI@n... wrote: > > A reflection on water, perhaps? > > > Richard Shaw-Brown II <rsbj66> > sacred-objects > Tue, 24 Jan 2006 22:59:56 -0000 > Interesting Verse -any ideas??? > > > "A reflection of the Sun may be experienced in place of the Sun, but it's illumination is > never possible independent of the Sun." > > ---Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita: Madhya-lila, Chap. 25, Verse 117 > > 9;s eye Bona fide Yellow sapphire > Blue sapphires > > > > > > Visit your group "sacred-objects" on the web. > > > sacred-objects > > > _ > Try the New Netscape Mail Today! > Virtually Spam-Free | More Storage | Import Your Contact List > http://mail.netscape.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
