Very well said...
For those that may read your words they may be a bit perplexed. For that let me offer this notion.
The notion offered by TrikonaBindu is the difference between differentiated and un-differentiated knowledge. With differentiated, it is fractional, pieces; with un-differentiated it is wholeness of knowledge, fullness of Being.
It is by knowing differentiated that one is caught up in the diversity of the world. It is by knowing the un-differentiated (wholeness) that one lives in fullness. So, the wise say it is by not knowing, that one knows. They mean, by not knowing the differentiated (fragmentation) that one comes to know wholeness
( or sattā¹).
iti śivaṁ
- sattā; another word often used for Being is sattā. It is defined as existence , being.
- within this word sattā we have sat + tā .
- sat = being , existing , occurring , happening , being present ; it is defined also as that which really is , entity or existence ,
essence , the true being or really existent. At times it is written as satī, with the same definition. This sat is rooted in 'as' which once again means 'to be, exist, be present'.
