This is the
Darshan, face to face, a deep realization that Mahakashyap had which prompted his laughter
to manifest. This transfer of realization is difficult to be expressed in words. But, when a realized soul chooses to speak, he does not simply
philosophize, it is not merely a mind game. He simply states the facts as he sees them.
Our Shashtras reflect word from people who had the realization.
We never paid much attention to the pundits, the
intellectuals and the so called philosophers. Yes, the intellectuals have written a lot of
commentaries.
There are severalcommentaries on the Bhagavadgita and
likewise there are several on Brahmasutra or Pataanjali.
But the original ones, be it Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, or
Dhammapada or Shankar- bhashya; they were all spoken and written by the realized ones, the
ones who had the face to face darshans.
With this introduction we will try to get on with the rest
of the book.
It is imperative that we try to understand the law of
Karma, it is also crucial that we understand what we mean by Dharma and know how to
perform the important samskaras. |
