Shiva Sutras
Svaśaktipracayo'sya viśvam
The direct translation that I am reading from Lakshmanjoo,
the universe is the embodiment of the Yogi's collective energies.
And then a lot of
commentary,
some of it useful.
Shiva or pure consciousness is filled with knowledge.
And that knowledge is the innumerable knowledge found in the universe.
Real knowledge is universal knowledge.
The knowledge that frees you from the
limited knowledge of the universe is called Netra.
Elsewhere
he quotes
another text
Kalikakrama,
this knowledge is found everywhere inside and outside.
Because without knowledge, an object cannot exist. Very important point here.
Without knowledge,
an object cannot exist exist.
The entire universe is therefore filled with that knowledge. And that knowledge
which may be called objective knowledge is in fact,
knowledge
of fragmented reality and universal reality and therefore
undifferentiated and differentiated divine knowledge.
OK. So here's my
little take on it.
The Yogi knows
the self, this is
little different interpretation.
The Yogi knows the Self
as both them,
the source of fragmented knowledge and universal knowledge.
So here's a point once again and that is that everything we call an object
is actually
a fragmented experience of the totality,
everything that we call an object, whatever it is.
So let's take this notebook, let's take the painting. Let's take my hand, let's take
the spectacles, this nose,
these we call physical objects, organic and nonorganic. OK.
Yeah, organic and nonorganic.
But
that's just nomenclature.
The object itself is the experience of a fragmented perceptual activity.
Species specific,
therefore modified finite experience
that we call
that
iphone, hand,
nose, body,
galaxy, moon, sun, stars,
space time
causality, all that is fragmented knowledge.
and the physical body is part of that fragmented knowledge as is the mind,
the intellect, the ego.
But what is differentiating into all of that through the tatvas
we discussed the tatvas, qualia,
is
the world appearance, including
biological organisms with their brains, their minds
and their thoughts and their imagination and their feelings. All of that
is a fragmented knowledge,
universal knowledge is the source of all these
pockets
or activities of fragmented knowledge in every species,
every species
and
the world appearance is actually the matrix
of
interacting
fragmented knowledge
that appears as all this.
But at the heart of it, all
you
exist as the matrix of all being
and therefore
you
are the source of multiverses
and
ok,
infinite
possible experiences in infinite possible lokas
or
dreamscapes
with you entering the dreamscape as well as part of the
whole process as a fictional character.
As long as you can
identify yourself in both wholeness and fragmentation.
Then you have total freedom to create
anything,
any experience
and visit,
honestly visit any loka
the infinite universes of
of string theory. And multi
verses do not
allow you to visit other lokas because they are
supposedly
in different dimensions of space time.
But the true understanding is
those lokas as projections of consciousness
with leaky margins
allow you to visit them.
And this is the dream tantra of Tibetans as well.
So all very exciting as we get to know, both fragmented and universal knowledge.
