Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 When we describe the Purusha as Sahasraksha what we mean is that we worship the concept that the Lord has thousands of eyes. In accordance with the authority of the Vedas, the inner meaning of this is that all the energy and effulgence that comes out from the eyes of the various people or the totality of that energy represents Paramathma. This is the inner meaning of referring to him as Sahasraksha or one with a thousand eyes.We also describe him as 'Sahasrapad' or one who has a thousand feet. What is it that we mean by describing God as one who has a thousand eyes, a thousand feet, and a thousand heads and what benefit do we get by describing him in this manner? The physical ability to carry this material body rests in our feet and in our legs. Because such strength is contained in our feet, however big the body may be, we are able to move the body with comfort. - From Swami's Divine Discourse in June' 1974 in Brindavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
