The World Within

 

When someone asked Ramana, 'It is said that cidAkAza itself is *AtmasvarUpa (image of AtmA) and that we can view it only with the help of the mind. How can we see it if the mind has subsided?', Bhagavan replied:

'If the sky is taken as an illustration it must be stated to be of three varieties, - *cidAkAza, *cittAkAza, and *bhUtAkAza. The natural state is called Chit-Aakaasha, the I-feeling that is born from cidAkAza is cittAkAza. As that Chitta.Aakaasha expands and takes the shape of all the *bhUtas (elements) this is all Bhuuta.Aakaasha. When the Chitta-Aakaasha which is consciousness of the self ("I") does not see the *cidAkAza but sees the *bhUtAkAza it is said to be *mano AkAza and when it leaves Mana.Áakaasha and sees Chit.Áakaasha it is said to be *cinmaya (Chit-maya, pure consciousness). The subsiding of the mind means that the idea of multiplicity of objects vanishes and the idea of oneness of objects appears. When that is achieved everything appears natural.'

 

Vasishtha said—

*jd. Note how both vlm and sv are prolix. Why?

*sv.4 When one closes his eyes to sleep, he enters into an inner world created by his inner vision; when sleep comes to an end, one wakes up and his vision enters the world of the waking state. In the same way creation is experienced by one's entering into it within his own heart.

*vlm.4. As the beauty of the visibles appears to view, on one's coming to sense after his sleep; so it is the intellect only which gives sensation to one, who is waking or just risen from his sleep: (and so it was the intellectual wakefulness of Vasistha and other inspired men, which made them sensible of outward objects, even in the trance of their meditation (Samádhi).

 ***cinmAtra - #mAtra - When used as a suffix, mAtra is commonly translated as "only " • and often this is adequate. In yv/FM, -mAtra always has a subtler sense. It is derived from the root >mA, "to measure". mAtra has, among other senses, the meaning "measure " (as in the "meter "of the poetic line). Thus - #cinmAtra (cit-mAtra) is adequately rendered as "Consciousness-only", but is better read as "a measure of consciousness". When चित् cit*Consciousness is affected as #citta*Affection, it becomes #cinmaya #cinmaya, Measured/Formed Consciousness.  

***cinmAtra *cit.mAtra *Chin.mátra – a measure of Consciousness (in the way a metric foot—in poetry or podiatry—measures its field of operation).

*vlm.5. So there is conception of creation in the self-same soul, ere its formation or bringing into action; and the forms of creations are contained in the vacûm of the heart, and in no other separate vacuity whatever.

*sv.5 5-9 Having seen the appearance of this creation in pure space, I entered into other parts of myself eager to see other aspects of creation. When thus the light of my inner intelligence was directed to that 'space', there arose in it an experience of that space.

(i. e. whether the heart or mind or infinite space, is the cause and container of the cosmos).

As I had been looking before, at that sight of the great kalpa-dissolution, with my airiform spiritual body; I found and felt the other part of my person (i.e. my material frame), was likewise infused with the same sensibility and consciousness.

*vlm.11. This etherial air, having its primary powers of chit and saMvid-intellect, and conscience, becomes the intellection and consciousness also; then from its power of reflecting (on its existence in space and time), it takes the name of reflection (chittam). Next from its knowledge of itself as air, it becomes the airy egoism, and then it takes the name of buddhi or understanding, for its knowledge of itself as plastic nature, and forgetfulness of its former spirituality. At last it becomes the mind, from its minding many things that it wills or nils.

*sv.11 11-12 To begin with there is only this pure space or emptiness. In it there arises the notion 'I am'. The condensation of that is known as buddhi or intellect and the condensation of that is known as the mind.

*sv.19 As I was thus observing creation, I had become atomic. I realised myself as a ray of light. Contemplating that alone, I had become gross. In this grossness there were the potentialities of sense-experiences. ... I began to see.

*vlm.20. I then felt a desire of seeing all what existed about me, and had the power of sight immediately suppplied to my gross body. (Just as a child coming out as blind, deaf and dumb from the embryo; has the powers of seeing and hearing and crying, immediately furnished to it afterwards) so says Adam in Milton, "As I came to life, I looked at this light and beautiful frame").

*sv.20 20-23 The organs through which I saw became the eyes, that which I saw became the scene (object), the fruit of this experience was sight, 'when' I saw all this became time (duration), the manner in which I saw became the method or order, 'wherever' I saw became space. By conviction these became the order of creation.

are the natural appetities of the soul, and finding their way through the external organs of sense).

*vlm.32. Then my vacuous self, contracted the property of smelling, by the air of its breath, I had thereby the sense of smelling given to me, through the organs of my nostrils. Being thus furnished with all the organs of sense, I found myself to be imperfect still: (because none of them could lead me to the knowledge of the truth).

*sv.32 29-33 Then there arose the sense of touch, the sense of taste and the sense of smell, etc.

*sv.34 Even though all these seem to have arisen in me, in fact nothing has ever happened. hen thus the five elements and the five senses came into being, their corresponding knowledge and experience arose in me irresistibly. They were without 'form' (substantiality) and they were illusory.

himself).

*THE WORLD WITHIN*



When someone asked Ramana, 'It is said that cidAkAza itself is *AtmasvarUpa
(image of AtmA) and that we can view it only with the help of the mind. How
can we see it if the mind has subsided?', Bhagavan replied:

'If the sky is taken as an illustration it must be stated to be of three
varieties, *.* *cidAkAza, *cittAkAza, and *bhUtAkAza. The natural state is
called Chit*.*Aak*â*sha, the I*.*feeling that is born from cidAkAza is
cittAkAza. As that Chitta.Aak*â*sha expands and takes the shape of all the
*bhUtas (elements) this is all Bhuuta.Aak*â*sha. When the Chitta*.*Aak*â*sha
which is consciousness of the self ("I") does not see the *cidAkAza but
sees the *bhUtAkAza it is said to be *mano AkAza and when it leaves Mana.Áak
*â*sha and sees Chit.Áak*â*sha it is said to be *cinmaya (Chit*.*maya, pure
consciousness). The subsiding of the mind means that the idea of
multiplicity of objects vanishes and the idea of oneness of objects
appears. When that is achieved everything appears natural.'

shooting forth therein; as the grains put out their sprouts in a granary,

shapeless embryo of the seed, (i. e. the plastic nature from the amorphous
spirit), by moisture of the ground

*sv.3 1*.*3 VASISTHA continued: After thus contemplating the infinite
consciousness for some time I suddenly realised that all this creation was
within myself, my own body, just as the tree is in the seed

*jd. Note how both vlm and sv are prolix. Why?

*sv.4 When one closes his eyes to sleep, he enters into an inner world
created by his inner vision; when sleep comes to an end, one wakes up and
his vision enters the world of the waking state. In the same way creation
is experienced by one's entering into it within his own heart.

*vlm.4. As the beauty of the visibles appears to view, on one's coming to
sense after his sleep; so it is the intellect only which gives sensation to
one, who is waking or just risen from his sleep: (and so it was the
intellectual wakefulness of Vasistha and other inspired men, which made
them sensible of outward objects, even in the trance of their meditation
(Samádhi).

****cinmAtra* *.* #mAtra *.* When used as a suffix, mAtra is commonly
translated as "only " • and often this is adequate. In yv/FM, *.*mAtra
always has a subtler sense. It is derived from the root >mA, "to measure".
mAtra has, among other senses, the meaning "measure " (as in the "meter "of
the poetic line). Thus *.* #cinmAtra (cit*.*mAtra) is adequately rendered
as "Consciousness*.**o*nly", but is better read as "a measure of
consciousness". When चित् cit*Consciousness is affected as
#citta*Affection, it becomes #cinmaya #cinmaya, Measured/Formed
Consciousness.

****cinmAtra *cit.mAtra **Chin.mátra – a measure of *Consciousness* (in the
way a metric foot—in poetry or podiatry—measures its field of operation).

entered into other parts of myself eager to see other aspects of creation.
When thus the light of my inner intelligence was directed to that 'space',
there arose in it an experience of that space.

me take it in the sense of infinite space of vacuity, which contains the
whole creation; but please to explain to me more clearly, what you mean by
your intellectual vacûm, which you say, is the source of the world. (i. e.
whether the heart or mind or infinite space, is the cause and container of
the cosmos).

*vlm.11. This etherial air, having its primary powers of chit and
saMvid*.*intellect,
and conscience, becomes the intellection and consciousness also; then from
its power of reflecting (on its existence in space and time), it takes the
name of reflection (chittam). Next from its knowledge of itself as air, it
becomes the airy egoism, and then it takes the name of buddhi or
understanding, for its knowledge of itself as plastic nature, and
forgetfulness of its former spirituality. At last it becomes the mind, from
its minding many things that it wills or nils.

*sv.11 11*.*12 To begin with there is only this pure space or emptiness. In
it there arises the notion 'I am'. The condensation of that is known as
buddhi or intellect and the condensation of that is known as the mind.

*vlm.16. As it is the nature of vacûm, to give rise to the current air; so
it is natural to the mind, to assign a form and figure to all its ideas, by
the power of its imagination; (whence it is called the creative mind, or
inventive imagination, that gives a shape to airy nothing).

*vlm.15. I conceived the whole (space and time), in the minutiae of my
mind; and being myself as empty air, thought the material world, to be
contained in me in the form of intelligence.

to be beyond all bounds; and because I had the power of thinking, I thought
myself as the thinking mind, and no more. (So one knowing himself as, the
body, at once knows him to be a corporeal being only; as the lion thinking
himself as a sheep, bleated and grazed as one of them. So we forget our
higher nature).

as a spark of fire; and by thinking so for a long time, I became at length
of the form of a gross body. *..* The angels are said to be of a bright and
fiery body (muri and atashi), and the human body to be of a gross and
earthy substance (khaki and martya).

*sv.19 As I was thus observing creation, I had become atomic. I realised
myself as a ray of light. Contemplating that alone, I had become gross. In
this grossness there were the potentialities of sense*.*experiences. ... I
began to see.

the power of sight immediately suppplied to my gross body. (Just as a child
coming out as blind, deaf and dumb from the embryo; has the powers of
seeing and hearing and crying, immediately furnished to it afterwards) so
says Adam in Milton, "As I came to life, I looked at this light and
beautiful frame").

*sv.20 20*.*23 The organs through which I saw became the eyes, that which I
saw became the scene (object), the fruit of this experience was sight,
'when' I saw all this became time (duration), the manner in which I saw
became the method or order, 'wherever' I saw became space. By conviction
these became the order of creation.

this desire in me. (Sensible perceptions

air of its breath, I had thereby the sense of smelling given to me, through
the organs of my nostrils. Being thus furnished with all the organs of

lead me to the knowledge of the truth).

ever happened. hen thus the five elements and the five senses came into

irresistibly. They were without 'form' (substantiality) and they were
illusory.

found myself endowed with a body, and it was as I took me to be.

sound known as speech. You hear it even as a sleeping person hears sounds

sounds; and these sounds were as void, as those of man, dreaming himself as
flying in the air in his sleep.

thought I was not a created being at all; because I saw the worlds in my

and no other than your imagination of them; and there is no reality
whatever, in the existence of this earth and all other things that you see.

*sv.46 45*.*46 Thus do I exist, but I am unborn. I have seen the universe,
beyond that I have seen nothing. But all this that I have seen is but pure

mind, and the mind sees every thing, in the pure vacuity of the divine mind.

*sv.47 47*.*51 All this is but pure experiencing. Nothing (the earth, etc.

Everything is in consciousness; everything is consciousness. There is no

objects of delusion, in the burning and barren waste of infinite void.

*vlm.49. Thus there is no world in reality in the divine spirit, and yet
the erring mind of man, sees it erroneously to be situated therein; it is
all owing to the delusion of human understanding, which naturally leads us
to groundless errors and fallacies. (Errors in the mind breed errors in
thoughts).

*sv.49 47*.*51 All this is but pure experiencing. Nothing (the earth, etc.

which in realty is nothing at all.

> sees the *bhUtAkAza it is said to be *mano AkAza and when it leaves
> Mana.Áakaasha and sees Chit.Áakaasha it is said to be *cinmaya (Chit-maya,
> pure consciousness). The subsiding of the mind means that the idea of

VASISHTHA said—

 

काकतालीय.द् भानम् यत् परे नियतम् स्वतः

kAkatAlIya.vat bhAnam yat pare niyatam svata: |

यथास्थितम् यथारूपम् स्थिते ज्ञ् द् उच्यते ॥७।१८७।३॥

.

kAkatAlIya.vat bhAnam \

yat pare niyatam svata: |

yathAsthitam yathArUpam /

sthite tat jagat ucyate

.

it is like the maxim of the Crow and the palm tree. Destiny arises of itself; and the state and form it assumes is called Jagat.

kAkatAlIya.vad

like the Coconut Crow

bhAnam

yat pare niyatam svata:

yathAsthitam.as.it.is .

yathArUpam sthite . as the form when it is =

tat jagat ucyate . that is called the world.

*sv.3 VASISTHA replied: The cosmic order arises and exists in the supreme being or the infinite consciousness by sheer coincidence (as the ripe cocoanut falls when a crow coincidentally alights on it).

*vlm.3. Vasishtha replied:—Whatever the Lord has ordained at first of himself, (i. e. of his own will and wisdom); the same appearing as the fortuitous formation of chance, is called the very system of the universe.

*sv.4 The manner in which it is is known as the universe.

*vlm.4. All that is manifested in any manner by omnipotence, is and continues as real in the same manner; because what is made of the pith of divine will and intelligence, can never be unreal; nor is it possible for the manifest and obvious to be evanescent.

*vlm.5. All that is situated or appears to us in any manner, being composed of the divine intellect, must continue to remain for ever in the same manner; this appearance of creation and its disappearance in its dissolution, are both attributed to the unseen power of its destiny.

*sv. Because of the infinity and the omnipotence of consciousness, this cosmic order is seen to be endowed with intelligence. What thus exists is known as the cosmic order, niyati.

that is called by the Term niyati.Destiny, . sarga.saMhAra.rUpa.dhRk सर्ग.संहार.रूप.धृक्which underlies the forms of creation and dissolution.

*vlm.6. To say this one is such and that is otherwise, is to attribute them to the manifestation of Brahma as so and so; and these formations of theirs, together with their ultimate dissolution, are called the acts of their destiny.

*sv. Because of the infinity and the omnipotence of consciousness, this cosmic order is seen to be endowed with intelligence. What thus exists is known as the cosmic order, niyati.

.

as there is vacuity in space,

and fragrance in camphor,

Waking, Dreaming, and Sleeping are known as states of manifesting Consciousness

.

*vlm.p.8 As emptiness is the property of air and warmth of the sunshine, and as scent is the quality of camphor, so the states of waking, sleeping and dreaming belong to the nature of the soul and are inseparable from it.

*vlm.9. Creation and dissolution follow one another, in the one and same current of the Divine Intellect; which in its vacuous form, subsists in the vacuous spirit of Brahma.

*vlm.p.9 Creation and dissolution follow one another in the one and the same current of Divine Consciousness which, in its empty form, exists in the empty spirit of brahman. *vlm.p.14 Natural philosophers who know all nature use the word nature to describe the uniform state of things for a whole kalpa age, measuring only a moment of brahma. 15 The one soul (consciousness) is diversified into a hundred varieties of living beings. Every portion of this general intelligence retains the same reasoning like its original, without forsaking its nature. 16 Some of the intelligences that belong to and manifest themselves in the supreme Intelligence of God {brahman is neuter gender, not "he" but "it", The Immensity; Deva=God. jd} imagine to assume to themselves some embodied forms, in utter ignorance of their intellectual natures.

The living soul being subjected to its corporeal body, has no perception of the distinctions of time and place by means of its bodily organs, which are so imperfect and soulless on the whole, (i. e. He is not thoroughly diffused all over the body, but has its seat in the mind also, which perceives the abstract ideas of time and space and all other abstract natures of things).

*sv. On account of spatial and temporal limitations, the jiva gets involved in the cosmic order and is unable to experience everything.

THE WORLD WITHIN

 

When someone asked Ramana, 'It is said that cidAkAza itself is *AtmasvarUpa (image of AtmA) and that we can view it only with the help of the mind. How can we see it if the mind has subsided?', Bhagavan replied:

'If the sky is taken as an illustration it must be stated to be of three varieties, . *cidAkAza, *cittAkAza, and *bhUtAkAza. The natural state is called Chit.Aakâsha, the I.feeling that is born from cidAkAza is cittAkAza. As that Chitta.Aakâsha expands and takes the shape of all the *bhUtas (elements) this is all Bhuuta.Aakâsha. When the Chitta.Aakâsha which is consciousness of the self ("I") does not see the *cidAkAza but sees the *bhUtAkAza it is said to be *mano AkAza and when it leaves Mana.Áakâsha and sees Chit.Áakâsha it is said to be *cinmaya (Chit.maya, pure consciousness). The subsiding of the mind means that the idea of multiplicity of objects vanishes and the idea of oneness of objects appears. When that is achieved everything appears natural.'

 

VASISHTHA THE PLENTIFUL declared–

*vlm.3. I beheld the formal world, with all its sentient as well as insensitive beings, rising out of the formless heart, resembling the shapeless embryo of the seed, (i. e. the plastic nature from the amorphous spirit), by moisture of the ground

*sv.3 1.3 VASISTHA continued: After thus contemplating the infinite consciousness for some time I suddenly realised that all this creation was within myself, my own body, just as the tree is in the seed

*jd. Note how both vlm and sv are prolix. Why?

*sv.4 When one closes his eyes to sleep, he enters into an inner world created by his inner vision; when sleep comes to an end, one wakes up and his vision enters the world of the waking state. In the same way creation is experienced by one's entering into it within his own heart.

*vlm.4. As the beauty of the visibles appears to view, on one's coming to sense after his sleep; so it is the intellect only which gives sensation to one, who is waking or just risen from his sleep: (and so it was the intellectual wakefulness of Vasistha and other inspired men, which made them sensible of outward objects, even in the trance of their meditation (Samádhi).

 ***cinmAtra . #mAtra . When used as a suffix, mAtra is commonly translated as "only " • and often this is adequate. In yv/FM, .mAtra always has a subtler sense. It is derived from the root >mA, "to measure". mAtra has, among other senses, the meaning "measure " (as in the "meter "of the poetic line). Thus . #cinmAtra (cit.mAtra) is adequately rendered as "Consciousness.only", but is better read as "a measure of consciousness". When चित् cit*Consciousness is affected as #citta*Affection, it becomes #cinmaya #cinmaya, Measured/Formed Consciousness.

***cinmAtra *cit.mAtra *Chin.mátra – a measure of Consciousness (in the way a metric foot—in poetry or podiatry—measures its field of operation).

*sv.5 5.9 Having seen the appearance of this creation in pure space, I entered into other parts of myself eager to see other aspects of creation. When thus the light of my inner intelligence was directed to that 'space', there arose in it an experience of that space.

(i. e. whether the heart or mind or infinite space, is the cause and container of the cosmos).

*vlm.11. This etherial air, having its primary powers of chit and saMvid.intellect, and conscience, becomes the intellection and consciousness also; then from its power of reflecting (on its existence in space and time), it takes the name of reflection (chittam). Next from its knowledge of itself as air, it becomes the airy egoism, and then it takes the name of buddhi or understanding, for its knowledge of itself as plastic nature, and forgetfulness of its former spirituality. At last it becomes the mind, from its minding many things that it wills or nils.

*sv.11 11.12 To begin with there is only this pure space or emptiness. In it there arises the notion 'I am'. The condensation of that is known as buddhi or intellect and the condensation of that is known as the mind.

*vlm.13. As a man roused from his sound sleep, is subject to flimsy dreams; so the pare soul losing its purity upon its entrance in the gross body, is subjected to the miseries that are concomittant with it.

*sv.13 That knows or experiences the pure element of sound and also the other elements, the tanmatras. From these experiences arise the various senses.

*vlm.14. Then the infinite world; appearing at once and at the same time, (before the view of the mind and outer sight, both in state of dream and on waking); it is said to be and act of spontaniety by some, and that of consecution by others. (Some texts say; god willed and it was; (so aikshata,fiatet fit, kunfa káná &c); while others represent the world to be not the work of a day, but of many consecutive days. (Such as so atapshata.God laboured and rested from his labour).

*sv.14 14.18 Some say that there is some order in this creation, others declare that there is no such order. However, it is not possible to alter the nature and characteristics of created objects which have acquired those characteristics through the appropriate notion that arose in the infinite consciousness in the beginning.

*vlm.16. As it is the nature of vacûm, to give rise to the current air; so it is natural to the mind, to assign a form and figure to all its ideas, by the power of its imagination; (whence it is called the creative mind, or inventive imagination, that gives a shape to airy nothing).

*vlm.15. I conceived the whole (space and time), in the minutiae of my mind; and being myself as empty air, thought the material world, to be contained in me in the form of intelligence.

*sv.15 14.18 Some say that there is some order in this creation, others declare that there is no such order.

*vlm.18. Hence I believed myself as a minute atom, although I knew my soul to be beyond all bounds; and because I had the power of thinking, I thought myself as the thinking mind, and no more. (So one knowing himself as, the body, at once knows him to be a corporeal being only; as the lion thinking himself as a sheep, bleated and grazed as one of them. So we forget our higher nature).

*vlm.19. Then with my subtile body of pure intelligence, I thought myself as a spark of fire; and by thinking so for a long time, I became at length of the form of a gross body. .. The angels are said to be of a bright and fiery body (muri and atashi), and the human body to be of a gross and earthy substance (khaki and martya).

*sv.19 As I was thus observing creation, I had become atomic. I realised myself as a ray of light. Contemplating that alone, I had become gross. In this grossness there were the potentialities of sense.experiences. ... I began to see.

*vlm.20. I then felt a desire of seeing all what existed about me, and had the power of sight immediately suppplied to my gross body. (Just as a child coming out as blind, deaf and dumb from the embryo; has the powers of seeing and hearing and crying, immediately furnished to it afterwards) so says Adam in Milton, "As I came to life, I looked at this light and beautiful frame").

*sv.20 20.23 The organs through which I saw became the eyes, that which I saw became the scene (object), the fruit of this experience was sight, 'when' I saw all this became time (duration), the manner in which I saw became the method or order, 'wherever' I saw became space. By conviction these became the order of creation.

*vlm.21. In this manner I felt other desires, and had their corresponding senses and organs given to me; and I will tell you now, O race of Baghu, their names and functions and objects, as they are known amongst you.

*sv.21 20.23 The organs through which I saw became the eyes, that which I saw became the scene (object), the fruit of this experience was sight, 'when' I saw all this became time (duration), the manner in which I saw became the method or order, 'wherever' I saw became space.
