The
semblance of Self. The reflection of Consciousness on the intellect is known as
Chidavasa. The intellect is insentient and unable to illumine, again
Consciousness itself is one and without any attachment or attribute or company
hence inactive. The intellect is very pure and clear hence when it comes in
close vicinity with the Consciousness it appears to be conscious itself like an
iron rod when heated in fire assumes to take fire. In the same way apparently
the intellect and Consciousness assumes to take the character of each other due
to superimposition, caused by avidya (delusion). The reflection of
consciousness on intellect is known as semblance of Self or Chidavasa.
When the consciousness arises from the absolute as " I AM " , it is universal , which is there inside all of us as ' SPHURAN OF THIS " I AM " . This is the PRIMARY ILLUSION , MOOL MAYA..
ReplyDeleteAND this consciousness , knowingness as it arises ,along with also arises the non-knowingness or ignorance..
the knowingness becomes the witness and the non-knowingness or the ignorance covers the true nature.
it is just like the reflection of the sun through the mirror on the wall. There is common light on the wall , but this reflected light is with special luminosity , appears special , and looks different from the common light.
In the same way the reflection of the absolute as the sun is through the mirror like intellect , and the special light appearing on the wall due to reflection is CHIDABHAS OR " I AM "
Actually all this happens simultaneously or YUGPAT. And all these special refected light , mirror , wall are seen due to common light. As every thing can be seen in day light except the daylight.
So this " I AM " is the door ..it is our SENSE OF PRESENCE..SENSE OF BEING..through which we can retun to our home..our true nature..
So this is the real NA- MAN..NO-MIND.. where only YOU ARE..
