audiobook Tibetan Tantric Vision by Krishna Ghosh Della Santina in History

Description

There is a Supreme Reality which is Eternal and Indefinable. It is an Absolute; inconceivable and ineffable- the Brahman. Unknowable in its utterness; this Reality presents itself to us in three supreme terms of its Truth: an absolute Existence; Sat; an absolute Consciousness; Cit; and an absolute Bliss; Ananda. This is the poise of Brahman turned towards self-revelation. It perceives itself as an infinite Existence; not a mere existence but a Being with a full awareness of all that It is; an infinite Consciousness. This Consciousness inherent in the supreme Being is no static awareness it is instinct with a Power; a Force dynamic with all the content of the Consciousness. And the nature of this selfconscient Existence is an inalienable Delight. All is a manifestation out of this triune status of the Eternal; Sat-Cit-Ananda. All is contained in the infinite Being of Brahman; it is brought out and released into a plenitude of manifestation by the Consciousness-Power innate in Himself for the sheer Delight of His Becoming. It is His own Consciousness as Power; the Cit-Sakti; that pours out the potentialities held in the infinitude of Brahman; throws up Forms from out of the Formless depths of the Eternal. The Seers of the Veda speak of it as Maya; the power that measures (miyate anena iti maya) out of the Immeasurable; the Force by which all is shaped out. This is the theme of the present book by Sir John Woodroffe.
