Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Mantra: Shabdabrahman has a latent will to manifest itself, and it is organised in three specific fields of power: bindu (consciousness - awareness), ada (energy), bija (specificity). Every field of power absorbs an equal umber of sound unity, radiating such as linear weaves and having together a triangular shape. All that, in a latent and non manifested form is called kamakala. Here, the creative principle as undifferentiated vibration, is a state defined Para. When the focusing of energy in mahabindu (supreme centre of consciousness) overheats it to the explosion point, radiating a particular sound form; nada pranava comes into being; it's the first manifested sound, this state is called pashanti. Therefore, omkara is the first expression of the potential sound para. From the pranava all he sound forms emerge, like mantra, Veda, language and all sorts of sounds. Pranava is a complicated organisation of powers, where a basic ower supports an endless series of powers. Omkara activates the three fields of latent forces in kamakala. Pranava in its extensive process changes its undifferentiated and unlimited character into a more limited and changeable series of manifestation. From a unique sound, omkara becomes many particular sounds: vishesa spanda. The multidimensional process of specific vibrations is said madhiam. Pranava is the original sound, unmatched and undivided, and for it's own power, it becomes specialised and plural. "It has been established by Lord Shiva, that there cannot be moksha (freedom) without diksha (initiation) and diksha cannot exist without a aster, hence it comes the line of Guru parampara" (KT.10.14). It's necessary for a mantra, to be "alive" mantrachaitanya, in case it has lost its energy, or it has withered, a siddha yogi should know how o restore the shakti to the mantra. "Innumerable are the mantras, they only distract the mind. Only that mantra, which is received through the Grace of the Guru will give complete satisfaction" (ibid.11.15). Each mantra is a different expression of the Brahman, manifesting itself as Deva or Devi. A mantra isn't a set of words used for invoking the ivinity, but it is the Divinity itself appearing as power and onsciousness. Mantra has two kind of power: vachaka and vachya. The former is the shakti in her sound form, and it manifests itself as vital force, appearing with a divine form; that is Istadevata (Istadevata isn't an imaginary process, but an expression of real divine power, which manifests itself to the sadhaka). The latter is power consciousness; when a yogi is completely established in superconsciousness (samadhi), Istadevata leads him to its formless state (arupa) of infinite being. Mantra owns unlimited powers because is the Divinity itself. Mantra vidya is a secret and supreme science (pararashya vidya): as only a scientist knows how to extract nuclear power from the inert matter, only the true brahmayogis of this science, know the real essence of ihert. The sacred sounds are of primary importance in a devotee's life. Every aspect of her/his day, from sun rise to sunset (sandya vandana) is sacred. love, Karta santmatyoga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
