Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Dear Sarajit, Your understanding doesn't differ from mine but the explanation does because you take a different meaning of three words: intellect, mind and Dhi. I will give my definition of these three words: - Intellect is the instrument/faculty of questioning without identification and is born out of the pure dualistic nature of consciousness at mooladhara chakra (mercury ruler). It is certainly diverted to whoever it gets associated/identified with because it has no identification of its own. Mind is the awareness of different sensory activities. It has no real identification of its own and hence no nature whatsoever. Dhi is consciousness of self-sufficiency and is beyond dualistic explanation. Note that no intellectual/dualisitic escape is intended. Using these definitions together I have following reasoning: 1. Dhi can never make a mistake, by definition. 2. Mind is without identification, by definition, and its functionality (i.e. moving from one sensory awareness to another) is often confused for its existence followed by its mistake. 3. Intellect can not make a mistake in its functionality of pure questioning, by definition. So there is no question of first mistake anywhere in the functionality of the three elements. Why I said that intellect makes the first mistake is because of the opinion that it is the only one which comes under complete control of ahamkara, which is the principle of identification. And ahamkara, is again a non-existing principle because it has no identification of its own. Ahamkara, by definition and no-definition, is akin to identification of one object with another object which in turn is identified as a third object and so on. Please note the gradual shift from intellect to intelligence (which I pick as Dhi) in your mail to understand the self-approval (a function of Dhi) of your line of reasoning. There could be a few mistakes in my own line of reasoning as well in a similar manner, but I don't have time to sort them out at the instant. regards, nitish --- Sarajit Poddar <sarajit wrote: > > > > Sarajit Poddar > [sarajit] > Tuesday, December 30, 2003 8:26 AM > 'varahamihira ' > RE: |Sri Varaha| Jeevamuktamsa and lagnamsa > -to nitish > > || Jaya Jagannath || > Dear Nitish, > > Intellect could be the crude translation of the dhi > shakti or the > ability to dicern between the right and the wrong, > the true and the > false.
