Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Queastion.: Is it necessary for one who longs for release to enquire into the nature of the 'tattvas' ? Just as it is futile to examine the garbage that has to be collectively thrown away, so it is fruitless for one who is to know himself to count the numbers and scriptures the properties of the 'tattvas' that are veiling the Self, instead of collectively throwing them all away. [ Sri David Godman's comments: Indian philosophers have split the phenomenal world up into many differant entities or categories which are called 'tattvas'. Different schools of thought have differant lists of 'tattvas', some being inordinately long and complicated. Bhagavan encouraged his devotees to disregard all such classifications on the grounds that, since the appearance of the world is itself an illusion, examining its component parts one by one is an exercise in futility. ] ( to be continued ) India Matrimony: Find your life partner online.
