TB-28 Three states of existence.. Waking AthmA
स्थूल शरीर अभिमानि आत्मा विश्व: इति उच्च्यते |TB-28|
स्थूल शरीर अभिमानि आत्मा विश्व: इति उच्च्यते |TB-28|
आत्मा That aspect of the "person"
अभिमानि attached to
स्थूल the gross physical
शरीर body..
उच्च्यते is "named"
इति as
विश्व: viSva:
Ok.. here we go.. we are all viSva at this very moment, be it day or night..! unfortunately.. this is where most of us stop..!! The materialists are convinced that THERE IS NOTHING outside of the body.. so we can rightfully name them as viSvaA:..
We may wonder why?
Remember the five gnAnendhryAs? ears, skin, eyes, taste, and smell? four of these are located only on our head..
But the 5th one is ALL OVER our body.. both inside and ourside..
Yes.. that is the sense of touch..
Becasue of this we can physically feel the presence of a person, a friend, a spoue, or a lover, or an object. Whether we enjoy this or not will be explained later..
Becasue of this we can also sense our pain inside as well.. that is wh when the doctor can not see what is inside our knee cap, we can tell him the exact spot where teh pain is..
We can use this organ to veryfy the hotness and coldness of an object..
We can also feel the smoothness or roughness of an object..
We can also determine the comort of discomfort caused by that object..
Here the objects are both insentient and sentient..
Whether I like ti or not comes from a different explanation that is about to follow.
This identification of the sense of touch can be total.. in that case it is called dhehA Athma budhDhi. in other words, dehe Athma budhDhi and Athmani deha budhDhi..that i am this body and this much alone is me.. and I am also NOTHING MORE THAN this body ..! THIS IS THE LOT OF THE PURE MATERIALISTS..!!
But TB does not just stop here.. even look at the word "uccyathe"
it means.."is called" TB would NEVER say "KNOWN AS"..!
To the materialists, the physical body is KNOWN as viSva:..
But, To us in this blog..? is it viSva: only ?? Llet us move on to TB-29..!!!
