Guest guest Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Who is The Mother-- Who is The Self hjiwnani: jai radhe bindu ji Nisha: jai radhe bindu ji Nisha: jai radhe haresh ji bindu: ???? Nisha: bindu ji is entering the conference with a question? Interesting hjiwnani: jai radhe bindu ji bindu: who is The Self? amit: Hare Krishna ... friends ! Nisha: jai radhe amit guru ji Nisha: The Self is The Self ji. bindu: So why do we name this and that? Nisha: because the as human beings we believe we are limited... as we are identifying with the body.. therefore.. we cannot work with something that is unlimited.. we need to label everything. It is like the question.. did the egg come first or the chicken come first. hjiwnani: interesting bindu: It is the naming of things that deludes the Jiva conceptions as to the nature of things makes us decide this is different from that. Nisha: Are we lableing because we are in delusion or because of the labeling are we in delusion? bindu: Things are not concepts but we conceptualize the things; we do this because as you say, if we do not conceptualize we cannot define ourselves in an unlimited reality. bindu: Concept < --- NOUN (big C) "Concept ITSELF...." begins with the Concept of the I-ness. Nisha: What came first ji.. the concept.. or the languge or the human beings? bindu: we shall see nishu Nisha: Om is the embodiment of whole creation... yet it is the sound form. bindu: Concept < --- NOUN (big C) comes spontaneously as the Bindu Why do i say that.... see if you can tell me. Nisha: Om itself seemed to be limited .. in that sense becoz we give it a sound form. bindu: No, Om comes before anyone exists it is the seed of being.. out of om (IN OM) everything comes. Nisha: yes ji bindu: The bindu is a sphere; it is an ORB. Nisha: All i am saying is everything is infinite.. from the Om to tree it self.. yet when we say.. OM or the treee.. we limited according their qualities. bindu: yes.. but watch now bindu: Concept < --- NOUN (big C) is also an orb because with the begining of ANY concept no matter if it is JUST CONCEPT ITSELF; because with the begining of it, with the begining of the first CONCEPT; there are a massive number of CONOTATIONS in the Absolute which spread out from the non-dimensional point called the bindu (or CONCEPT)) They spread in infinite directions instantaneously; both inward and outward in a way that can only be thought of as an orb or seed or bindu. think about that a moment. It is then the birth of DIMENSION ITSELF thus the geometry of the atom is born from the bindu. From the bindu comes the atoms begining with the photons of light. So then all the multiplicity of shapes and sizes and collections of atoms called things which get conceieved are onceptualized eventually by the beings that come as a result also of the existence of the consciousness of The Self who existed for eternal Time previous to the coming of the bindu. Now let us go back before bindu. Before concept. Before the birth of the Universes. In that place full to the brim with nothing << we cannot say it is FULL as it has no perimeter.... but to be able to speak of IT the word IT conceptualizes it. So we will talk in a way that the mind can understand, for the purpose of the conversation. In that place (which cannot be rightly called a place) there is massive emptiness existing between stillness and silence; this is the OM. It arises from the potency or potential inherent in infinite Being<<< this potency exists because it HAS POTENTIAL; it is the Sakti The Sakti is the same as the One who knows it .. this means the Sakti IS SELF AWARE without CONCEPTS! It is previous to the consciousNESS which is the mass of concepts and all their countless variations. The Sakti (the MOTHER) means that the mother (the Mtrka ) is the womb of being; it is that in which all arises and also the place WITHIN which everything comes. 1st she is Sakti then the bindu comes IN HER...... There is massive emptiness existing between stillness and silence this is the OM. Then conception occurs, and the universe appears. Nisha: How can one say it is massive emtiness existing between stillness and silence? One cannot directly refer to it nishu; we are referring to it only to speak else we will not speak; but you are not seeing that ANY speaking IS CONCEPT... speaking is composed of concepts. so then the CONCEPTS or CONCEPT ITSELF cause existence. Nisha: But why is this knowing by massive emptiness.. which existed between stillness and silence.. can't we say it is massive fullness.. which existed between.. noise and sound. bindu: Why not? waves are sound in the troughs (soundlessness between the waves ) there is stillness; there are no waves there. But the concept of stillnes means nothing without wave . so it is emptiness; but more than emptiness, because emptiness can only be known if we compare it to fullness. so it is nothingness that is actually non- dual reality, prior to consciousness of ANY concept. So with CONCEPT comes consciousNESS; previously there was no consciousNESS; there was only the Conscious Absolute ParaBrahman. Nisha: It is beyond the concept of emptiness and fullness.. it is beyond stillness and noise.. it is beyond the sound and silence.. it is it. it cannot be defined by anything or any word that exists.. or that will come to exist in the future.. can we say that? bindu: Yes, but that is a useless way to speak, it is better to speak as i have said. In that place full to the brim with nothing << we cannot say it is FULL as it has no perimeter....but to be able to speak of IT, the word IT conceptualizes it So we will talk in a way that the mind can understand, only for the purpose of the conversation. Go back before the thought arises that it is beyond etc... it is comunnicable in terms of what it is NOT; it is NOT coummunicable in terms of WHAT IT IS! So like the spaces in the vibrations we conceptulize as Sound (in the Spanda sakti) we can understand the absence of sound (we can understand the stillness of soundlessness); then we can think of the potential for sound like in a tight guitar string. There is a tension in nothingness, that tension is the potential so then bindu: this is the Sakti in itself. ... and due to the nothingness being infinite, it is infinite ichaa-Sakti. It is the Sakti of the Will of Siva or God if you prefer; but normally people think GOD acts or does things He doesn't else His success would be dependant upon His acting.... but that is another subject entirely. We are talking of conception and bindu and i-ness today. I said above: "Existence comes out of the Mother and appears IN the we personalize the Mother and the Father; we conceptualize them so that we can exist as what seem to be separate beings (as JEEVA). yet imagine if the CONCEPT (Mtrka or Mother ) did not come. There could be no personality of godhead... hence the Sakti is the Mother of God. Jai Radhe Shyam!: Siva\Sakti Vishnu\Lakshmi etc.. So then this means the the Mother and Father conceptions are reflections of each other ... but the Absolute Self is transcendental because He is the one who exist as the conscious Absolute beyond all knowing. You asked above ... what came first chicken or egg. The Self came first as the Potent One in which all exists prior to conception. It exists without being conceptualized. dhaniganesh: Is the CONCEPT (mtrka) the avyakta spoken of in the upanishads? bindu: oh yes dhanni also in Siva Sutra. The bindu comes out of Him.... then from that sphere... from that 1st spiritual atom comes the refections in His psyche which we call atoms. The atoms are as i said born out of photons of light this is scientific fact. again refer back to the multi-dimensional nature of the conotations of the coming of the existence of the bindu in the Absolute... For example if a THING came in the ABSOLUTE; no matter how small, it would have multidimensional connotations because dimension does not exist in the Absolute.. It is called MOTHER because all things begin from that due to the birth of CONOTATION ITSElF<<<< WHICH IS CONCEPT ITSELF...... HENCE THE LITTLE MOTHER............... or Mtrka. An easy way to see it is picture a ball made of cloth submerged in a bucket of water the water surrounds it on every side, the water is all thru the cloth and all around the ball. The wetness of the ball is the mulit-dimensional effect of it being immersed (or coming into the water); in the same way when a concept (or ball or sphere or bindu) appears in the Absolute it is soaked with the Brahman, all thru at every level of conotation. This IS the consciousness which can only be known to exist by connotation dhaniganesh: Mtrka is mother, and consciousNESS is also Mother? bindu: Yes. This comparison ... due to it being the consciousness comes into being as the multiplicity of beings who are concious; but this consciousness IN beings is limited due to CONCEPT! So the Mother limits them all. Now then, let us go back a bit from the countless beings and think about the Gods. Nisha: How can we even talk about what came first and what came last... as it is existing forever.. with no beginning and ending. bindu: yes nishu, but again just for the purpose of the conversation we use concepts. bindu: Back to the gods etc... They are a few steps from the Mother who birthed them all. How and why do they come? They are a step towards the involution of the infinite into the countless jeeva. Step by step the process comes down into the diversity, such that the process is actually GOD we call him Krishnaaa ... just so we can refer to Him .. but we know He also is transcendental.... but even that is a concept because in His transcenedental Self we can only imagine how incredible He is until we become Self-Realized... but even the Self-realized cannot say who He is because if we did it would subordinate Him to the concept. So then all the demigods are merely other jeeva who are all inhered by The Self (by sri Krishnaaa) - all appear in the Mother and have come out of Her. so then the meditating ones will gradually see all the gods one by one as the Conscious ONE comes up out of the ocean of illusion. The realization of the god with form (even though it is not full realization) indicates that The Self exists just as much as the existence of the jiva does. Thus the jiva is the god of its own universe but is not the final god.... The final God is the PAramAtma. The JivaAtma is merely the god of its personal universe the ParaAtma is the god of the Cosmos ....... <<<< The cosmos is the sum of all the universes (the combination of them). dhaniganesh: What is full realization bindu: dhanni my dear son.... self realization really has no defintion... but it is the knowledge i am describing above. Yet even this is merely knowledge. The self-realization is the self- recognition of The Self as the Infinite ParaBrahman. It is the recognition that there is ONLY ONE BEING who exists in and as ALL beings. This recognition cannot be had by Jeeva because his very existence is depending on CONCEPTION; which is separation and his personal birth for example: A jiva cannot even think He can realize the truth because his thought of "I will realize" is a conception... hence his very thought splits him away from The Self. Therefore he cannot realize The Self. if there is one who thinks called "I this jiva". hjiwnani: jai radhe bindu: That is why it is called SELF-REALIZATION.............. THE SELF realizes Himself in Himself as Himself. There is no other concious ONE but THIS SELF. NONE. Nisha: jai radhe; He is The Self.. She is the consciousness! He is The Self... She is the realisation bindu: nishu YES GREAT. Even the mother gets Her consciousness from him.... but they are defining each other. Think then if they did not define each other then you will be able to understand. now then think one step back --- If She was not there He could not be there; if He was not there She could not be there; thus they are one Radhe Shyam, Siva Sakti. etc.. So then --- now last of all... this-- -->>>> If we take a peice of space out of space .............. it will only be conceptually ............. because we cannot cut space............... thus when the object is gone, there can be no knowable space or knowing space either. In the same way when mum and dad become one they are no longer needed to know or define each other........ this consciousness of The Self is without limit and is transcendental Being. Nisha: The whole is whole.. what has come out from the whole is also whole.. when the whole is taken out from the whole.. The whole remains as the The whole. bindu: Sat-chit-ananada. so then i rest. Nisha: He is SATCITANANDA>>> She is the embodiment of SatCitAnanda Nisha: Thank you very much bindu ji IT is great. hjiwnani: thank u bindu ji. bindu: so then the god with form and the god without form are one-and the-same God. At all levels god is coming into the mother; she is showing him who He is at all levels of being. amit: Hare Krishna ! bindu: Jai Radhe Shyam! Pranams to the mighty unknowable one who is also knowable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
