Excerpt from The Sacred Books of the Hindus, Vol. 6: Translated by Various Sanskrit Scholars
The v aiéesika is a molcsa-édstra: it teaches a doctrine of release release from the coil of mortality. According to Kanada, man must work out his own salvation. It is given to him, if he will, to hear the Truth from the Scriptures or from a preceptor, on high or here below, to think ever it in his mind, and to meditate upon it in the recesses of' his heart. He can control his sensory and motor organs, and, b eliminating superficial psychic states, make the mind steady-in the Soul. Steadiness of. The mind in the Soul is called Yoga. Yoga, is neither a mystery nor is it in sticism. It is the realisation of the free dom of will, of the free Self. 9 then becomes master of time and space For him there is no distinction of past, present, and future no disti notion of here, there, and elsewhere. The mind being at rest, pleasure and pain do not arise, activity ceases, and the law of Karma is cancell~_ red for all time to come. The accumulated Karma'of the past, however, 'remains. Having realised the fundamental freedom of' the ~sele,= he sees what experiences are in store for him, andlives' out'those exper iences in appropriate forms and surroundings brought about by thecreative poweriof will. In this way he cancels the past as well.. There after, when death takesplace, and the soul.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the multifaceted nature of reality through the lens of the Vaisesika school of Hindu philosophy. The Vaisesika system, attributed to the sage Kanada, flourished in ancient India and offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the fundamental principles of existence. At its core, this book delves into the concept of padarthas, or predicables, which are the building blocks of reality according to the Vaisesika philosophy. These predicables encompass substance, attribute, action, genus, species, and combination, and their intricate relationships form the basis of all existence. The author meticulously examines each predicable, exploring its characteristics, modes of manifestation, and interactions with other elements of reality. Through a rigorous analysis of these principles, the book sheds light on the nature of the physical world, the workings of the mind, and the path to achieving liberation from suffering. By unraveling the complexities of the Vaisesika system, this book provides a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of reality and the philosophical traditions of ancient India.
