Samkhya Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello, In one famous place of the Rg Veda (10.129), we read that: ««« The life force that was covered with emptiness, that one arose through the power of heat...»»» I don't understand what it means.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 on basics, it means that life was formed with heat. if u look at it from an astronomical/cosmological position, it could mean that from the emptiness of space during the time right before the big bang, the heat that set off the bang brought that life out into the empitness of space. in a cosmological religious sense, the life force of existance is brahman, or shakti, which ever u want to call it. the power of heat arose the discriminative forms taht have arisen in the universe, all from once single source.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 You can also look at it in a biological point of view, The male sperm has to be in very warm temperature and the female ovaries has to be also in a certain heat so that the sperm can hatch in the femal egg. Thats when life forms. Whitout this heat no animals life can be created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 ********* The life force that was covered with emptiness, that one arose through the power of heat...»»» ********** It is Tapas. Tapas of Purusha, Some say it is desire to have a second beside oneself. Emptyness is tranquil consciousness, which when moved by thoughts of Purusha becomes non-empty.
