Thread: Regarding recent discussions...

    Re: Regarding recent discussions...

    Hello Yajvan,

    Ok, good point - basic or complex definitions that have agreed upon meanings and then used with the understandings related to such agreements can be of great value! I made a remark in an earlier thread about definitions that were seemingly being used by fellow members as amunition to more or less shoot (or go at) one another.

    "[ BG, note no bold letters were used! ]" [ cool]

    Om

    Hello BG,
    Yes, defintions are useful... back in 2007 a handful of us asked the HDF folks what was valuable... here is the results: http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550

    Many try to use this as a guideline.

    And as you mention ,
    being used by fellow members as amunition to more or less shoot (or go at) one another
    - I missed that point, thank you for pointing it out. I think for some, the terms are just second nature and are offered with no ill-intent. In any case knowing the veribage is useful to form POV's, learn, and understand.

    Take care and I look forward to your posts and great defintions to follow.

    Namaste BOB G & yajvan ji,

    Thanks for the reminder !

    Let me clarify the words I used :

    i) Visvarupa Darshan ---> Already explained by Yajvan ji. The term has been used in reference to Bhagwad Gita, Chapter-11.

    ii) Jnani ---> He who is established in Non-duality. (Literal meaning --> He who knows)

    iii) Ajnani ---> The antonym of Jnani

    iv) Divya Chakshus ---> Extra-ordinary Visionary powers ( to see which cannot be seen through human eyes)

    v) Alaukik ---> Not of this world

    vi) Ananatam ---> The Infinite

    vii) Axaram ---> Imperishable

    viii)Paramam ---> The Ultimate

    ix) Maya ---> The Illusion

    Note : If any other words are still difficult to comprehend to anyone, those may please be indicated, so that the same may be clarified.
