... unique, unutterably sole — "the One by whom all live, who lives by none." (p. 309). Sri Aurobindo has described elsewhere the five stages of Brahman in his philosophy of the Upanishads: 1.Virât 2.Hiranyagarbha 3.Prajnā or Avyakta 4.Parabrahma — the Highest 5.Higher than the Highest — the Unknowable. The fourth and the fifth stages can hardly be described by words and... here collected in a single form... He bore all godheads in his grandiose limbs. 20 In him the fourfold Being bore its crown. And he was identified with the four aspects of the Brahman — Virât, Hiranyagarbha, Avyakta, and Parabrahman.

I would rather say that I cannot refrain from ...
... Visions of Champaklal Visions of Champaklal Golden Virat Purusha 1987-01-01 Champaklal finds himself in an altogether strange place and he loses even his own individual identity. This new place or the “hall” is not the common type with doors, windows, etc., seen in the physical world. It is a place in the new world, filled with the golden light of the... universal Purusha, the physical embodiment of the Supramental Truth. His “body was composed only of suns, implying that each cell of His body was Supramentalised.

Lead me from mortality to immortality” ...
... behind all we do, because we do not always do the right thing. Is there any truth in what X says? There is this much truth that the cosmic Force works out everything and the Cosmic Spirit (Virat Purusha) supports her action. But this cosmic Force is a Power that works under the conditions Page 62 of the Ignorance,—it appears as the lower nature and the lower nature makes you do wrong ...

In the second aspect, as a soul, man can be looked upon as a part of the Cosmic Being or Universal Soul (Virat Purusha). In the third, the transcendental aspect, everything culminates in “Sachchidananda”, or Absolute Existence, Consciousness and Bliss. Knowing Champaklal, it can be concluded that the vision of ...

The insistent preaching of our religion and the work of the Indian Nationalist is to bring home to every one of his countrymen this ideal of their country's religion and ...
... function of the Sudra at the base, but this inequality was accidental, external, vyavaharika . Essentially there was, between the devout Brahmin and the devout Sudra, no inequality in the single Virat Purusha of which each was a necessary part. Chokha Mela, the Maratha Pariah, became the guru of Brahmins proud of their caste purity; the Chandala taught Shankaracharya: for the Brahman was revealed in ...

... self in all that seems to us at present to be outside us. It is possible indeed to begin with the latter movement, to realise all things in this visible and sensible existence as God or Brahman or Virat Purusha and then to go beyond to all that is behind the Virat. But this has its inconveniences and it is better, if that be found possible, to combine the two movements. This realisation of all things ...

And here, in the very opening hymn of the Veda, we find him visvatah paribhuh, universally encompassing—the word used being the very one employed to describe Virat Vaisvanara, the Master of Page 12 the physical universe—we find him to be satya, serving the fundamental law of the world (satyadharmanam adhware), opposed to all deviation & crookedness—chitrasravas ...

... universal Person, the inward-dwelling Master of our existence for whom man's knowledge, will and adoration were seeking through the mists of the Ignorance. There remains only the vision of the multiple Virat Purusha to complete the revelation on one more of its many sides. The metaphysical synthesis is complete. Sankhya has been admitted for the separation of the soul from the lower nature,—a separation ...
... that of Shakespeare; so is that of many pieces of Blake. This vital energy makes the soul stir within you. Nothing can be more high and sublime than the vital energy in Arjuna's description of the Virat Purusha in the Gita. 6 November 1936 I remain convinced that fame is a fluke. Even a settled literary fame seems to be a very fluctuating affair. Who gave a thought to Blake or Donne in former times ...

These are the three primal Purushas of the earth life,—Agni Twashta ...

Daughter of a respectable Hindu family, she was 14 years younger than Sri Aurobindo. Her father ...
... ministering to their spiritual needs. Hence the need, Vivekananda thought, for the new order of sannyasins he had in mind. The human image in India had shrunk pitifully, and the collective image of the Virat Purusha had suffered too; perhaps the sannyasins, brahmacharins, the parivrajakas may be able to meet the challenge and set things right again. Well, 'Bhavani Mandir' was meant to train sannyasins ...

Boiled rice itself was a trinity - appearing now in its Wisdom (Shiva) aspect as white, now in its Hiranyagarbha aspect as yellow stuff, and again in its Virat Purusha aspect of grey eminence.
