Patanjali Yoga Sutra - 25/26


The seed of creation

Tatra Niratishayam Sarvagnyabeejam
Sa esha purvesham Api Guruh Kalena Anavacchedath
There are more qualities of God described here. In him resides the seed that is unparalleled that knows all. The seed here refers to the source or origin of all creation. In the tiniest seed lies the blueprint of the most massive oak, elm or banyan tree. Even humans, animals, plants and other creatures are products of the tiniest and invisible essence in a seed.

The biggest buildings and bridges were the outcome of the contemplation that happened in the invisible realms of the architects' mind. this whole universe that we experience through our senses spring out of the seed called God. It is pure consciousness that knows and is aware of everything.
This consciousness is the teacher, Guru of the most ancient teachers. It has always existed without a break, not bound by any time. It always exists - this Master. - Swahilya Shambhavi

A glorious post, Swahilya!!! You write with such beautiful imagery. You are enlightened and I treasure your words. The seed gives one pause to think.

Hugs, JJ

Good post, describing well the process of crystallization of the original potential of all.

It has far reaching consequences to realize that everything, and I really mean everything (not just events where the outcome are supposed to be beneficial to ourselves), that takes place, is an outflow of this potential.

Swahilya Shambhavi said...

True AVC - all that happes, goes from this source - the potential as you have said. On completion too, it joins this source again.

dear swahilya, this post make me think of the greek entelechy which they might have learnt from patanjali. Interesting and inspiring.
Thank you.

Swahilya Shambhavi said...

Thank you Ray. What's Greek Entelechy?

Ray Gratzner said...

Dear swahilya, entelechy is a philosophical concept of aristotle who maintained, that things could have a state have in which they work on becoming themselves. They have their ends within themselve, for example the seed of a tree has the the end of a tree within itself.
