EXPLANATION :

 

1. A seer is one  who has transcended personal  element and can see the

creation impersonally to get himself tuned with the plan .In such a state , the

capacity to see is the Lord Himself.

2. Kapila is known as the propounder of the Sankhya system. According to the

ancient scriptures, he is not a person but a Siddha (accomplished one ) who is a

principle presiding over the classification of the states of matter  and he

works as the number consciousness in the developing embryo . In the Puranas , he

is described as the one master who taught to his mother, Devahoothi, the system

of the classification of the various states of matter as well as the number

consciousness while he was in the embryo . This means that the number

consciousness which presides over the exact number consciousness which presides

over the exact number of items of each part of the developing embryo is the

Grand Master who takes his seat in us before our birth and who works out the

problems of our life in terms of number after our birth.

3. The quality of being faithful to others is among the many splendours of the

Lord that manifest through good beings.

4. As the Sun-god, the Lord gives life ,protects and rules the destinies of the

whole earth . Hence He is he ruler of out earth.

5. As Vamana, th Dwarf, the Lord measured the whole creation with three

feet(Matter,force and mind are represented by the three manthras,Bhooh,Bhuvah,

Suvah)

6. The classification of the devas and their function is only a manifestationof

the  Lord’s will.Hence  the Lord presides over  these  devas

7. The one thought form of the whole creation which manifests as the solar

centre of tha t particular  Solar system is called the Great Apex of that

creation . From this, the Sun and the planets emerge everytime in due and

ancient form.

8. Every one does something as his own lot and creates some situation, good or

bad, complicated enough and after a certain time to complicated  for himself to

solve. It  leads to a situation beyond his control which brings everything to

culmination. This aspect is among the many manifestation of the lord’s will

and he is to be meditated upon as the culmination itself.
