Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Ancient Samkhya and Vedanta philosophic theories based on the experiences of 'seers' or 'rishis' of ancient ages give us the scientific explanation of facts about Mystic Introversion: 1) These sages have come to the conclusion that all the manifest universe is the expression in form of multitude of " quality " of One " Substance " -the Absolute Universal Consciousness; 2) When we perceive 'quality', we fail to know the Substance, and vice-a-versa; 3) The goal of evolution is to realize the Substance as it is, without any modification as quality viz. name and form; 4) It is possible through the control of senses and concentration of mind, spiritual practices -Sadhana, to effectively realize the state of Reality as Universal Consciousness; 5) During this process various visions and experiences of beatitude come to the spiritual aspirant -Sadhaka, and he becomes infused with real knowledge, and incorporates values of universal love, altruism, and selflessness. 6) This is possible and natural because he perceives the same reality prevalent in every object, both living and non-living; It is, as if, he identifies himself with the same subatomic particles present in all of them; 7) He proceeds to realize subtle reality in outward grossness; as if he comes to or becomes the essence of the thing: 'the thing-in-itself'. dr c s s -- =^=^=^=^=^ E-magazine on science and spirituality.
