Affective Conception

 

 

 

rAma said—

 

अहम् जगद्_इति भ्रान्ति: परस्मात्_कारणम् विना । यथा_उदेति तथा ब्रह्मन्_भूय: कथय साधु मे ॥३।६१।१॥

.

these delusions,

—"I" and the "world"—

sAdhu,

tell me again how they arise without a prior cause

.

~vlm.3.61.1 RÁMA said:—Please sir, explain to me whence arises this error of our knowledge of the objective world, without a cause of this error. (The True God cannot lead us to the knowledge of untruth).

aham jagad – "I am the world" — or I and the world - iti bhrAnti: – such delusion —

yathA udeti – as/how it arises — parasmAt kAraNam vinA – from beyond without a cause —

tathA brahman – thus, o BrAhmana — bhUya: kathaya sAdhu me – sAdhu, tell me all.about.it.

 

 

 

vasiSTha said—

 

समस्ता: समतैव_अन्ता: सम्.विदो_ बुध्यते यत: । सर्वथा सर्वदा सर्वम् सर्वात्मकम् अजस् तत: ॥३।६१।२॥

samastA: samatA_eva_antA: sam.vido_ budhyate yata: | sarvathA sarvadA sarvam sarva-Atmakam_ajas_tata: ||

||

.

the totality of things

is

a samatA.Equality,

a sameness within,

everyhow everywhen totally,

an All-Selflet,

unborn out.of

That

.

~vlm.3.61.2. Vasishtha said:—Because we have the knowledge of all things (i.e. the objective), to be contained alike in our consciousness (as of the subjective self); it is plain that this eternal and increate self (or soul), is the cause and container of them all at all times.

samastA: samatA eva antA: – All things are a sameness quite within - samvida: budhyate yata: – from which samvid.Awareness is awakened - sarvathA sarvadA sarvam – everyhow, everywhere, wholly, - sarva-Atmakam ajas tata: – all-selfed, unborn, from That. 

 

 

सर्वा हि शब्द.अर्थ-दृशो ब्रह्म एव एता: पृथङ्_न तत् । सर्व.अर्थ-शब्द.अर्थ-कला.रूपम्_आसाम् न विद्यते ॥३।६१।३॥

sarvA hi zabda.artha-dRzo brahma eva etA: pRthaG_na tat | sarva.arthazabda.artha-kalA.rUpam_AsAm na vidyate ||3||

indeed

all

meaning-perceptions are just the brahman.Immensity

.

That

is not separate

:

the sense of all

is not a particulation of meaning

!

~vlm.3. That which has an insight or intuitive knowledge of all things, which are expressed by words and their meanings, is Brahma—the soul and no other; and nothing that is meant by any significant term, has a different form of its own. (It is the doctrine of nominalism that the notions conveyed by words have no realities corresponding with them in the mind, and have no existence but as mere names).

sarvA: hi zabda.artha-dRza: Indeed, all meaning-perceptions - brahma eva etA: - these are just the Brahman - pRthaG na tat - That is not separate - sarva.artha=zabda.artha-kalA=rUpam – the all-sense as a particulation of meaning — AsAm – of these — na vidyate – is not known —

as

"bracelet" is the same as gold,

&

water is the same as "wave",

likewise it can be said

that

this

"world"is the same as Lord Izvara

.

~vwv.1336/3.61.4. As the bracelet-nature does not arise different from gold and as the wave-nature (does not arise) different from water, so, the world is not different from God.

~sv.4 Just as there is no division between a bracelet and gold, no division between waves and water, there is no division between the universe and the infinite consciousness.

~vlm.3.61.4. As the quality of a bracelet is not different from its substance of gold, nor that of a wave from the water; so the expansion of the world, is not distinct from the spirit of God. (The spirit inflated and produced the world cut of itself Sruti).

कटकत्वं पृथक् हेम्नः – "Bracelet-ness" is not separate from gold; = तरङ्ग-त्वं पृथक् जलात् – "wave-ness" not separate from water; = यथा न संभवति एवं – just as it does not happen so, = न जगत् पृथक् ईश्वरात् – the world is not separate from Izvara.

 

 

 

एष एव जगद्-रूपम् जगद्-रूपम् तु न_ईश्वरे । हेमा_एव कटक-आदित्वम् कटकत्वम् न हेमनि ॥३।६१।५॥

eSa eva jagad-rUpam jagad-rUpam tu na_Izvare | hemA_eva kaTaka-Aditvam kaTakatvam na hemani ||

||

.

but

altho it takes form as the world,

the world is not the Izvara

:

tho "gold" takes form as jewelry,

a bracelet is not itself "gold"

.

eSa eva jagad-rUpam tho  it is the world in form, — jagad-rUpam tu na Izvare – the world in form is not Izvara/Power: — hema eva kaTaka-Aditvam – tho gold is bracelets &c, —

kaTaka-tvam na hemani – bracelet-ness is not gold.

~sv.5 The latter alone is the universe; the universe as such is not the infinite consciousness, just as the bracelet is made of gold but gold is not made of bracelet.

~vlm.3.61.5. It is Brahma that is manifest in the form of the world, and not the world that appears as God; and so doth gold display itself in the form of a bracelet, and not the bracelet that takes the nature of gold.

 

 

 

यथा_अवयविनो रूपम्_अनेक-अवयव-आत्मकम् । तथा_अन्.अवयवाय_अस्तु चित: सर्व.आत्मकम् च यत् ॥३।६१।६॥

||

.

Form

depends upon

Properties and special characteristics

:

cit.Consciousness,

without these,

is the essence of everything

.

~sv.6 Just as we refer to a man and his limbs as being one and the same, we refer to the presence of the infinite consciousness as all beings, which does not imply a division in it.

~vlm.3.61.6. As the whole is displayed in all its various parts, so the entire intellect shows itself in all the various operations of the mind composing the world. (The intellect displaying the mind, and this the world).

~pal. Just as the "form" of the one who—which— has limbs, is manifest throught the limbs, So is "cit" which is limb-less, manifest through everything (that is around us).

yathA-avayavina: rUpam – Form is according to its properties — aneka-avayava-Atmakam - and particular characteristics; — tathA-anavayavAya astu – be it not thus according to its properties — cita: sarvAtmakam ca yat

- then cit.Consciousness is the self of everything.

~sv.7 In that infinite consciousness there is an inherent non-recognition of its infinite nature. That appears to manifest as 'I' and 'the world'.

~vlm.3.61.7. It is ignorance of the infinite and eternal Spirit of God, that exhibits itself as myself, thyself and the world itself in the mind. (i.e. The knowledge both of the subjective and objective results from ignorance of the only One-tanmátram).

yat tulya-kAlam akhilam – What is contemporaneous, entire, — tan-mAtra-a-vedanam pare – beyond the Vedana Knowing of material elements, — anta-stham tad idam bhAti – that finality shines as this — "jagat" iti "aham" iti api - 'world' and 'I'. —

waves,

when they move through water,

seem to wave within the water,

not as something produced

likewise are the Creations within the Supreme

.

~vlm.3.61.9. Like waves appearing on the surface of the undulated waters of the deep; this so-called and meaningless creation, is but a phasis in the Divine Intellect.

and

the creation abides not.at.all

in the highest

:

Reality

is

not one nor the other,

like the parts of a syllogism

.

~vlm.3.61.10. Neither does the Spirit of God reside in the creation, nor does the creation subsist in the Divine Spirit (like waves in the waters); nor is there such relation as of a part with the whole between them. (These are not parts of one undivided whole).

na sarge tiSThati param – Not in Sarga Creation abides the highest — sargas tiSThati na-u pare – the creation abides not at all in the highest — avayava-avayavi-vat – like the constituent parts of a syllogism — sattA an-avayavais tayo: – Suchness is not one nor the other.

by self-Awareness of your own Consciousness-form,

a self that is only cit.Consciousness

as your own Heart,

.

~vwv.1350/11. Only its own Consciousness is perceived by the Supreme, which is of the nature of Consciousness, through its own cognition. Its essential nature (is perceived) by itself alone, as movement by the wind.

~vlm.3.61.11. One should meditate on his intellect as the form of the Divine Intellect, in his own consciousness of it; and he will feel the Divinity stirring within himself, as it were stirred by the breath of a breeze.

cid.rUpeNa – by Chit-form — sva-saMvittyA – by self-Awareness — sva-cinmAtram vibhAvyate – only self-Chit becomes variously — svam eva rUpa-hRdayam – oneself alone form-heart — vAtena spandanam yathA – as by the vibration of the wind — and see Samvit, vwv below.

~vwv.1350/11. Only its own Consciousness is perceived by the Supreme, which is of the nature of Consciousness, through its own cognition. Its essential nature (is perceived) by itself alone, as movement by the wind." – And the "wind" has of course the sense of PrAnic 'Air'.

~vlm.3.61.11. One should meditate on his intellect as the form of the Divine Intellect, in his own consciousness of it; and he will feel the Divinity stirring within himself, as it were stirred by the breath of a breeze. (There is a divinity stirring within us, Addison).

~vlm.3.61.12. The minute particle of the vacuous intellect, will then appear in its wondrous form of a void, within the empty space of his conscious mind. (The primary hypostasis of the vacuous soul being but a void, its attributes of the intellect and mind, are of the same form).

just

That

knows an Airiness

as its innate nature itself

&

inwardly

it feels the touch of the vibration of the Air

.

~vlm.3.61.13. He then finds this vacuous form stirring in himself as the airy spirit, with its property of feeling, as it is felt in the flatus venti or breath of air. (This is the Spirit of God).

tad-eva anilatAm vetti – That-only knows Airiness — nija-sattA.AtmikAm svayam - as innate-Suchness.Nature itself — antargata-sparza-rasAm – inwardGone-touch-sense — pavana-spandatAm iva_ as the SpandatA Vibrationness of Pavana Air.

then projects its AbhAsa.Radiance

as

a bit of self

a bit of light in a raincloud,

a little spark of tejas Fire

.

~vlm.3.61.14. The God then assumes a luminous form as the state of his own substantiality; and this is posited in the sheath of the intellect as a spark of fire. (This is the holy light of the God of glory or glorious God).

tad_eva AbhAsatAm eti – That then goes to AbhAsa Emanation — nija-sattA-AtmakAm svayam - as an innate-Suchness-Selflet itself — koza-sthita-Aloka-lavAm – cloud-held-light-bit — teja: pragaTatAm iva_ the Tejas Fire as.if an evidence — #pragaTa_ प्रगट - Wrong reading for prakaTa प्रकट. ||

~vlm.3.61.18. The other states in which God presents himself to our intellects are that, He is Holy, infinitely glorious, seen within us,* and without beginning, middle and end; that, He has no rising nor setting, and subsists of Himself without a substratum and as the substratum of all. * The intuition of his existence, is the best proof of the same. Srúiti. So says the mystic sufi:—I sought him everywhere but found him nowhere; I then looked within myself, and saw him there—as his seat was there. the invisible God, who is as calm as the still air underlying the etherial air and its fluctuations.

~vlm.3.61.19. This knowledge of God is bliss itself, and his creation is identic with himself. Ignorance of God leads to the knowledge of the objective world, and its extinction is the way to know the eternity of His existence.

AS. When understood (buddham sat ) it is the liberation (apavargam tat), even tho it is with generated world (sasargamapi), it is equivalent to the true Sat; when ununderstood (abuddham), it is identified with the creation (sargarUpAtma),

even tho it is never contaminated with creation (visargamapi tat sadA).

~AS: It is the truth, because by exercising the Chit, it can be perceived to be permanent (nityAnubhavarUpataH); it can be untrue when perceived with the six sense organs counting the mind and with various names. Thus, the same thing can be perceived as true or false due to variable nature of the perceiver.}

~vwv. As there is this movement in the air,

so, creation exists in the Supreme Being.

tho  an unreal suggestion, it is, as it were, a real possibility and also an untruth in Truth.

~sv. Worlds within worlds appear in every atom. What can be the cause and how do these arise?!

~vlm.3.61.22. Know the unreal world which appears as real, and the reality of God which appears as unreality, to be of the manner of the air in motion and at rest. The visible world like the current air, appears true to them, that have no knowledge of

~AS: Similarly even in an unreal formation (asatkalpe api) a true creation may appear (saMkalpaH) while a true entity may appear untrue (satye asatya: eva api ca). * These false impressions come from lack of true knowledge. Because the movement of air is transient, it is in reality "asat" but may appear as sat during the experience.

tho seeming different in form,

what's within the radiance of light is not different from subtle tejas Light

—

so in the brahman.immensity

this glorious world is innately real/unreal in cit.Consciousness

.

~vwv.1290/23. As the non-different brightness exists in the interior of fire with a (seemingly) different form (or nature), so, the splendour that is the Universe exists in Brahman, the Supreme Consciousness, in the form of reality and unreality; (unreal when seen differently and real when seen non-differently).

~vlm.3.61.23. A thing may appear different from another, and yet be the same with it; as the light in the fire is the selfsame fire. So the visible world arising from the invisible Brahma, appears as another reality; tho it is same with the reality of God.

anya-rUpA yathA – As different-form — ananyA tejasy AlokatA-udare - not different in the depth of the Tejas illumination — tathA brahmaNi vizvazrI: – so in the Brahman Immensity is the world-wonder — satya-asatya-AtmikA citi - as innately Such-unSuchness in cit.Consciousness. —

in the mud is an ungrown tree

in the tree an uncarved doll

and

in the pen a poem hides

and

Creation in the Supreme

.

~vwv.1291/24. As a doll, not yet carved, exists (potentially) in the clay and in the block of wood (used for making the doll) and as letters exist (potentially) in a paste of ink, so, the worlds exist in the Supreme Spirit.

~vlm.3.61.24. All things whether in being or not being, subsist in God as their invisible and unknown source and cause; as the unscooped earth is the cause of the would-be doll, the unhewn tree of a future statue, and the soot of the ink not inesse. (So all future statues are contained in the unhewn marbles, according to Aristotle.)

~AS: The syntax is confusing here. The same doll is used twice, once as carved out from clay (that is more appropriate than mud here(:-)) and then in wood. In either case, the intrinsic form is present before it is made visible. I remember a quote from a famous sculptor (don’t recall the exact name) which said that sculpting is simply removal of the stone which is not the statue!

~jd: The thought is usually attributed to Michelangelo; but I note that VLM claims it for Aristotle. It's a notion familiar to every artist in every medium, that the figure is hidden in the stone, the melody in the chord, or the poem in the alphabet.

anutkIrNA yathA paGke – As uncarved in the mud — putrikA ca atha dAruNI - is a doll in an ungrown tree — yathA varNA maSI-kalke – like the letters in the ink — tathA sargA: sthitA: pare - thus is Creation in the Supreme. —

~vlm.3.61.26. The wise soul thinks this world as one with its source—the Divine Intellect, as he considers the tree no way different from its parent seed.

~vwv. Only the Self of the nature of the Universe is perceived by Brahman, full of Consciousness.

It is not also perceived (in that manner)

on-account-of the non-difference (between Brahman and the Universe),

as the tree within (is not perceived) by the seed.

~vwv.1351-52 As there is the sweetness of milk, the pungency of black pepper, the fluidity of water and the movement of wind, existing there identically and not differently, so, the world exists in the Self with its conscious nature flowing out and bearing the nature of the Supreme Self itself.

~vlm.3.61.29. This world is the manifestation of the lustre of the gem of Divine mind, and has no other cause except the essence of Brahma, which is no other than its material cause—the Supreme soul itself.

Dear JD,
I have comment about the translation of the very first verse.
I have not browsed through the rest.

rAma said—

 

अहम् जगद्_इति भ्रान्ति: परस्मात्_कारणम् विना । यथा_उदेति तथा ब्रह्मन्_भूय: कथय साधु मे ॥३।६१।१॥

aham jagad_iti bhrAnti: parasmAt_kAraNam vinA | yathA_udeti tathA brahman_bhUya: kathaya sAdhu me ||3|61|

Please tell me (kathaya me) again (bhUyaH ) Sir (Brahman) in detail (sAdhu), how (yathA)  this confusion (iti bhrAntiH) "I (am) the world (ahaM jagat )"
without any deeper cause (parasmAt kAraNam vinA).

Some further explanation:
The word sAdhu is an adverb here and has the sense of well, proper, good etc. If it were an address, the form would have been sAdho.
yathA udeti tathA has literal meaning "as arises that way". It has the sense of " how it arises in steps".
For the English sentence, I had to replace yathA with how, and tathA got dropped.  The inquiry is about the process of this apparently random event (kAraNam  vinA).
