1,2,3,4. All creation has evolved out of (and within) the Supreme Being or God and could be broadly divided into two types
– i) ‘Jad’ or inert or non-conscious or perishable creation and ii) ‘Chetan’ or conscious or imperishable or eternal creation. The perishable or ephemeral creation can be further sub-divided into four levels of creation namely, ‘Sthûla’ (gross), ‘Sûkshma’ (astral or subtle) ‘Kâran’ or Causal and ‘Mahâkâran’ (Supra-causal) creations. The perishable or ephemeral creation is classified as ‘Jad’ or non-conscious because it does not possess consciousness of its own but is rather made to act like one by some other immanent conscious entity. Were that conscious current to withdraw itself from any specific portion of non-conscious creation, that part would be dissolved and would cease to exist. Beyond the Perishable creation lies the ‘Chetan’/ ‘Kaivalya’ or Conscious/ Imperishable/ eternal creation that is variously known as ‘Hiranyagarbha’ (Golden Womb), ‘Satlok’ (True World) or ‘Sachkhand’ (True or Eternal Realm). This realm lies closest to, being in direct contact with, the Supreme Being. Having directly sprung from Him, it is capable of pulling its perceiver to its Source that is the Supreme Being Himself. Scripture says when God or the Supreme Sovereign alone existed and had a sweet will to become many, this will emanated out of Him in the form of a conscious vibration or conscious current. This vibration, as it flowed outwardly, started progressively shedding its subtlety leading to formation of a number of non-conscious regions or realms of creation broadly classified into afore-mentioned four levels of non-conscious creations.
5. The whole of non-conscious or inert nature consists of an inter-mix of three attributes or qualities namely, ‘sat’ or ‘satogun’ (here ‘sat’ means virtuous, righteous or positive and ‘gun’ means attributes/qualities/propensities), ‘raj’ or ‘rajogun (mundane or worldly disposition) and ‘tam’ or ‘tamogun’ (darker passions or negative tendencies). The dominance of any one of the three attributes decides the nature of that creation or mind. The highest level of non-conscious creation, ‘Mahâkâran Prakriti’ (Supra-causal Nature) has all the three attributes held in perfect equilibrium, equal proportion, and, therefore, is an inactive realm where no activity of any type takes place (hence, this is also called Equilibrial Primordial Nature). The ‘Kaivalya Mandal’ or ‘Chetan Mandal’ or Conscious Sphere lies beyond all the non-conscious spheres and is, thus, free of attributes or qualities. It is, therefore, also called ‘nirgun’ (attribute-less) plane of creation. The Supreme Being lives beyond both the attributed or non-conscious or classified nature as well as the attribute-less or conscious or unqualified nature.
30. This physical body of ours is called ‘piG’ or microcosm. The region beyond the Third Eye or Sushumnâ is called the ‘Brahmând’ or Macrocosm. Sometimes, the outer gross/ physical Universe is also referred to as ‘Brahmând’ (Cosmos or Universe).
93. The “yoga hridayavritt” or the “Yoga Heart Circle” in sants’ references refers to the Âjnâ Chakra or the Sushumnâ or the Third Eye. The centre of this circle is an absolute radiant point that comes into sight as the two currents of sight of the two eyes converge in the dark inner void ahead (If we close our eyes and see right in front of the centre of eyes, initially we see a vast expanse of darkness. However, if learning the right skill from an adept Guru we try to gaze right in front with collected vision, a refulgent point automatically rises.)
106. The Only God Who is bliss & bliss only - eternal & conscious bliss.
107. ‘Mehî’ or ‘Mahîn’ means extremely tiny or sharp, or subtle.
