Powerful Cognition
Thousands of years of research done by millions of inner scientists, Ṛṣis, in millions of inner science laboratories have led to the same truth: The true nature of man is pure consciousness and man is the knower or witness of the field the body-mind.
mahā-bhūtānyahaṅkāro buddhir avyaktam eva ca indriyāṇi daśaikaṁ ca pañca cendriya gocarāḥ
The field of activities and its interactions are said to be: the five elements of nature, ego, intelligence, the mind, the formless, the ten senses of perception and action, as well as the five objects of senses
When we cognize that we are beyond body and mind, we will feel no need to resist when somebody tries to enslave us. We know that we can never be slaves
icchādveṣaḥ sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ saṅghātaścetanā dhṛtiḥ etatkṣetraṁ samāsena savikāram udāhṛtam desire, hatred, happiness, distress, the aggregate, the life symptoms, and convictions
Conscience is given to us by society. Consciousness is given to us by God.
Introduction The true nature of man is pure consciousness, kṣetrajña, and man is the knower or witness of the field, kṣetra, the body-mind. We have forgotten that we have taken this body and mind for a purpose and that is to live our desires, saṁskāras.
We have forgotten that we have only rented this body-mind costume for this birth and wegradually associate ourselves with it! After a while, this costume becomes more important and dear to us than anything else. Once the costume begins to wear out, we start to worry.
