CREATION OF ELEVEN INDRIYAS

 

Thus from Tamas, we got the origin of matter and the five Bhutas. From Rajas, we

got the five functions .Five Karmendriyas are originated from Rajas . The first

is ‘Locomotion’ , i.e ., auto displacement. With out the application of

energy from outside, this movement occurs from place to another . We know it as

legs .The second is ‘gathering’ . We gather matter around us . We know it as

hands . These works as the gathering agent . That doesn’t  mean hands only

gather .Before that, we gather matter around us and the principle  is bestowed

to hands .The third is expression, i.e .,  speech . The fourth is reproduction

..The fifth is excretion of stools .All these  five are ‘’Karmendriyas

‘’ or gross organs .And we have five more organs produced purely by Rajas,

without the touch of Tamas, Pure Rajas gave birth to five sense-organs .These

are called ‘’ Jnanendriys’’ . The first is sight . We call this eye ,

the second  is

hearing.We call this ‘ears’ .The third is ‘smell’. This is called as

‘nose’. The fourth  is taste.This is called tongue . The fifth is touch,

the sense of touch .This is called skin .Thus eyes, ears, nose,tongue and skin

are five Jnanendriyas or sense organs.

 

You find a contact between gross-organs and sense –organs.That is the

tongue.For speech, it is the organ and for taste also, it is the organ .So among

the gross-organs, the tongue is used for speech and among the sense organs, it

is used for taste. So it has a double function,double role to play. It has

dual  role . There is what is called ‘Manas’ woking through all these

 five sense-organs . It is the one ‘Manas’  that is functioning through

the sense-organs, just as the radio is functioning through the radio-set. No

physical part of the radio-set is radio. It is only receiver. The senses are

only receivers where as the mind is functioning through them. In the fifteenth

chapter, in the  Bhagavadgita, Lord said,’’Manashshtani Indriyani

Prakritistani Karshthi’’.These five petals of the flower have mind as their

sixth principle or the stalk of the flower.Themind is working through these five

sense-organs upon nature; they are being

drawn .So mind is the sixth principle of all these five .(Mean while a student

sought for the orgine of Manas.Master clarified). Manas also is from Rajas. But

it has many layers . Tomorrow’s lesson will give us what Manas is . So we will

stop it here . And  then, and which is to be properly understood, which is not

exposed . For example, the fertilization of a flower is an occult process. The 

flower becoming a fruit is an occult process . The seed germinating into a

tree  is an occult process . Occult means something hidden.

 

  (Master takes a pause here and tells the students thus .Day before yesterday,

we have done the explanation of the four Vedas .That day we had not  this

lesson .As such, we did not take up Occult Anatomy .Therefore we added this

also  the ‘General Knowledge’ topic.But this comes under  Occult

Anatomy.The explanation  of the Vedas is  continued thus  ……..
