Bipolar Forces, Purusha & Prakriti





One of the Six Main Sciences,
And the Natural Philosophy of India,
Sankhya was developed by Kapila,
Who underwent Divine Transmutation !

He begins with the statement,
God is not proved
A Rational and a scientific Mind
He plunges into the secrets of Nature !

The Bipolar Forces, male and female,
Of Ultimate Reality, are Purusha and Prakriti,
Nature and the Life Force, which animates Her,
And corresponds to the Matter and Spirit of the West.

Cause of the Law of Cause and Effect
Is benevolent Prakriti Herself.
She is the First Cause, Pradhanam Prakritim Prahuh,
As well as the Main Efficient Cause. 

Karya karana karthruthve
Hetu Prakriti uchyate

Ñature is the Sole Doer
Ñature is Àlmighty
A logical system,
She does nothing without reason.

Self coñtained Being is Purushà,
The. Basé of all That Is.
And He offers His Breast,
For Her glorious Cosmic Dance.

He enjoys the Cosmic Game,
Remaining as Pure Witness.
All is willed by Him in its totality,
And perpetually entertained !

Nithyam Sanathanam Nirvikaram Prabhu
Sakshiyay matram Vilangunthengum.

Time is the.All Consuming
Power of the Absolute.
The foolish Ego, the Experiencer,
Is afraid of all devouring Time !

Kapila underwent Transfiguration,
Transformation or Transmutation divine,
Into something rich and strange
And became Bhagavan Kapila !

One element becoming another,
Is called Transmutation !
This is already happening in the Sun,
Where Hydrogen atoms become Helium. 

Divine Alchemy is similar to Scientific Alchemy,
Just like Hydrogen becoming Helium,
Human nature can be transmuted into divine nature,
Knower of Brahman becomes Brahman,

Brahmavid Brahmaiva Bhavati.

In Thy Incarnation as Kapila,
Thou revealed universal secrets,
Esoteric secrets great,
To Thy Mother, Devahooti.

Thou declared there are principles twenty five,
With Purusha as the Twenty Fifth !
With Nature,Universal Mind,Ego, Heart,
Subtle Essences, Elements, Sense and Knowledge Organs !

Prakriti Mahat Ahamkara 
Tanmatra Bhootaan
Api Hridapi Dasakshi 
Poorusha Pancha Vimsa

These are the 24 principles,
The true building blocks
And Purusha, Time, is the 25th,
Most important of them all !

Ya Kala Pancha vimsaka.

That Purusha is Time,
Was an amazing discovery.
It was validated by the West,
When Kant declared “Self is Time”

Time, the Destroyer, we all know,
But not Time as Creator and Preserver.
Creation,Preservation and Dissolution,
Are all invested in the womb of Time ! 
Sarvam Kalena Srujyante
Sarvam Kalena Palayante
Sarvam Kalena Samhriyante

He who is full of Intellectual Love,
Knowing these principles great,
And living in rhythm with Nature
Will be freed from bondage.

Iti vividha vibhago
Uchyate sau Prakritya
Kapilatanuriteetvam
Devahootyainyagadi

This magnificent Nature Philosophy
Was echoed in the West by poets great
Goethe, Wordsworth, Bruno et al
Sang the Glory of Prakriti Divine.

Nature never did betray the heart
That loved Her, said Wordsworth
I follow two Philosophers this way
It was Nature, Nature, all I heard them say (Goethe)

How can one end
Without mentioníng Love ?
Always the glorious victor,
Is ever conquering Love !

Thus Love Plus Wisdom,
Is the Grand Solution.
Thou instructed Thy Mother
The Noble Devahuthi.

The ordinary man lives in three states
Waking, dreaming and sleep dreamless
Transcending these three is the Fourth,
Transcendental Consciousness,Tureeya,

This Tureeya State was conclusively proved,
By Dr Keith Wallace in his PhD Thesis,
” The Physiological Effects of Transcendental Meditation,
A Proposed Fourth Major State of Consciousness”
{ At University of California and Los Angeles, in 1975}.

There are still higher states to attain.
The Fifth is Cosmic Consciousness, Tureeyateeta,

The Sixth is a Glorified State of CC
And the Seventh is Unity Consciousness.

The Vedas were never written,
But were heard and cognised
In higher states of Consciousness !
Hence Apaurusheya, not man made.


Sruthi means that which was heard !
What the Seer Poets intuitively hear
Is only an infinitesimal portion,
Of the Infinite Vedas, Ananta Vai Veda !

In his Meditation, Mahesh Yogi,
Had a Vision of the Divine Mother
Who told him to present
Sastras as Sciences.

Modern sciences are reflections
Of ancient sciences
Research is needed
Integrate them both! 

Vivekananda Hypothesis I

Samadhi = Zero Mind



Samadhi = Zero Mind
Vivekananda wrote in his Hymn of Samadhi 
Lo! The sun is not, nor the comely moon,
All light extinct; in the great void of space
Floats shadow-like the image-universe.

Samadhi = Zero Mind,
A state where Mind is not,
Where the projections of Mi nd,
Sun, Moon, Stars et al do not exist !

May be the Kerala poet who wrote,
No Moon, Stars or Sun exist,
In Cosmic Consciousness,
Was inspired by this Noble Sage.

Sama means Equanimity and Dhee, Mind
Is Cosmic Consciousness, equivalent of Nirvana,
A state transcending Happiness and Sorrow,
Elation and dejection and marked by Bliss Ineffable !

He wrote in his Hymn of Samadhi,
In the void of mind involute,
The fleeting universe, rises and floats,
Sinks again, ceaseless, in the current “I”.

Brahman is Omnipresent,
In all relativities.
It is the Absolute,
Possessing all relatives !

All originate from Brahman
All exist in Brahman
All merge,back into Brahman
Verily, Brahman is All in All.

Yatho imani bhutani jayante
Yena jatani jivanti
Yat prayantyabhisam visanti
The Hymn of Samadhi continues
Slowly, slowly, the shadow-multitude
Entered the primal womb, and flowed ceaseless,
The only current, the “I am”, “I am”.

A State beyond Aham Brahmasmi?
There is no Aham or Brahmam,
All sunk in Unity Conscisousness,
Where Only That and That alone exists !

The Warrior Sage continues further, 
Lo! ‘Tis stopped, ev’n that current flows no more,
Void merged into void — beyond speech and mind!
Whose heart understands, he verily does.
