The following selected quotations from various sources are put up here for a careful study and deeper thinking by every spiritual seeker. This is the practical way to spiritual development. It is said that chintana (deep thinking), manthana (repeatedly thinking about the subject and finding the deeper meaning), and nidhidhyasana (focused attention and contemplation on the subject) and study of scriptures are the preliminary steps. the scriptural part is supplied here. These are also subjects of deeper study and meditation.
Think it over
"With the evolution of the 'mahat' the 'manus' descended into it. From the mahat and in the mahat there spring the senses by which the objects are perceived as existent (sada) and non-existent (asada)". (Ahirbudhnya Samhita VII. 9)
"Like water or clay, the prakruti is the evolutionary or material cause, the purusha is the unchangeable category that contributes to the causal operation merely by its contiguity. The category of time is the internal dynamic pervading the prakruti and the purusha. The trinity of prakruti, purusha and kaala is the basis for the development of all the succeeding categories." (Ahir. Sam.,) .
[Note: Each one of the above statements are for contemplation and they constitute the basic principles, moola tattva, that leads one to Atmajnyan, the 'knowledge of the Self' and finally realization(of the Self) and liberation. Some of these concepts have already been described in the previous blogs].
