Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 What does the word Panga mean to you? Not a thing. It's just a word you are reading for the first time. What if I would tell you that the word Panga means the most sublime condition of emptiness and bliss a human could enter? Then immediately you would relate Panga to whatever notion you have about how blissful emptiness could feel, and so would everyone else. But, since we will be unable to produce these notions and compare them as we could compare tomatoes, Panga will always mean a different state for each one. And so it's with every word which designates a spiritual attainment. Such words have no universally recognize meaning, and saying Nirvikalpa is no more meaningful than saying Panga. A word I just made up. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 LOL, Pete The word " Panga " exists and means " making trouble " .
