Jai Deva Singh. Pratyabhijnahrdayam: The Secret of Self-Realization (excerpted)

Return to: Trika Shaivism Main Page

Excerpted from the Introduction to:

Jai Deva Singh. Pratyabhijnahrdayam: The Secret of Self-Realization (3rd revised edition). Motilal Banarsidass. Delhi, India (1980).

Sutra 1: The absolute Citi (consciousness) out of it's own free will is the cause of the Siddhi of the universe.

Comments: Universe in this context means everything from Sadasiva down to the earth.

Siddhi means bringing into manifestation, maintenance, and withdrawal.

Citi - The absolute consciousness alone is the power that brings about manifestation. Inasmuch as it (Citi) is the source of both subject, object, and Pramaana (means of proof), no means of proof can prove it (i.e. it is it's own source).

Siddhi may be taken in another sense also. It may mean Bhoga (experience) and Moksa (liberation). Of these also the absolute freedom of the ultimate divine consciousness is the cause.

The word, " Hetu " in the sutra means not only cause in which sense it has been already interpreted above. It also means "means". So Citi is also the means of the individual's ascension to the highest consciousness where he becomes identified with the divine consciousness.

Citi has been used in the singular to show that it is unlimited by space, time, etc. It has been called Svantantra (of free will) in order to show that it by itself is powerful to bring about the universe without the aid of Maayaa, etc.

Citi is therefore the cause of manifestation, the means of rising to Siva, and also the highest end. This Sutra strikes the key-note of the entire book.

* * *

Sutra 2: By power of her own free will does She (Citi) unfold the universe upon her own screen.

Comments: She brings about the universe by the power of her own free will, and not by any extraneous cause. The universe is already contained in her implicitly, and she makes it explicit.

* * *

Sutra 3: This (i.e. the universe) is manifold because of the differentiation of reciprocally adapted objects and subjects.

Comments: The universe appears to be different and manifold because of the differentiation of experients and the objects of experience. These may be summarized thus:

1. At the level of Sadaasiva-Tattva, the I-consciousness is more prominent; the experience of the universe is just in an incipient stage. The individual experient who rises to such a level of consciousness is known as Mantra-mahesvara, and is directed by Sadaasiva. He has realized Sadaasiva-Tattva, and his experience is of the form, "I am this". The consciousness of this (the universe) is not fully marked out from the "I" at this level.

2. At the level of Isvara-Tattva, the consciousness of both "I" and "This" is equally distinct. The individual experient who rises to this level is known as Mantresvara. The universe is clearly distinct at this stage, but it is identified with the Self. Mantresvara is directed by Isvara.

3. At the level of Vidyaa-Tattva, the universe appears as different from "I". There is an experience of diversity, though it is diversity-in-unity. The individual experients of this stage are known as Mantras. They are directed by Ananta-Bhattaaraka. They have an experience of diversity all round, of the universe as bieng distinct form the Self (though it may still belong to the Self).

4. The stage of the experient below Suddha Vidyaa, but above Maayaa is that of Vijnaanaakala. His field of experience consists of Sakala-s and Pralayaakala-s. He feels a sense of identity with them.

5. At the stage of Maayaa, the experient is known as Pralayakevalin. He has neither a clear consciousness of "I", nor of "This", and so his consciousness is practically that of the void.

6. From Maayaa down to the earth, the experient is Sakala who experiences diversity all round. The average human being belongs at this level.

Siva transcends all manifestation. His experience is that of permanent bliss and identity with everything from Sadaasiva down to earth. Actually it is Siva who flashes forth in various forms of manifestation.

* * *

Sutra 4: The individual (experient) also, in whom Citi or consciousness is contracted has the universe (as his body) in a contracted form.

Comments: It is Siva or Cit that by assuming contraction becomes both the universe and the experients of the universe. Knowledge of this constitutes liberation.

* * *

Sutra 5: Citi (universal consciousness) itself descending from (the stage of) Cetana becomes Citta (individual consciousness) inasmuch as it becomes contracted in conformity with the object of consciousness.

Comments: The universal consciousness itself becomes the individual consciousness by limitation.

The universal consciousness in the process of limitation has either (1) the predominance of Cit, or (2) the predominance of limitation.

In the former case, there is the stage of Vijnaanaakala when Prakaasa is predominate, or Suddha-Vidyaa-Pramaaataa, when both Prakaasa and Vimarsa are predominant, or Isa, Sadaasiva, Anaasrita-Siva. In the latter case, there is the stage of Suunya-Pramaataa, etc.

The universal consciousness itself by assuming limitation becomes individual consciousness. Jnaana, Kriyaa, and Maayaa of the universal consciousness becomes Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas in the case of the individual.

* * *

Sutra 6: The Maayaa-Pramaataa consists of it (Citta).

Comments: The Maayaa-Pramaataa also is only Citta (individual consciousness).

* * *

Sutra 7: And (though) he is one, he becomes of two-fold form, three-fold form, four-fold form, and of the nature of seven pentads.

Comments: The Cit is Siva Himself. Consciousness cannot be sundered by space and time.

· 2-fold: Since by limitation it assumes the state of the experient and the object experienced, it is also of two forms.

· 3-fold: It also becomes three-fold as it is covered with the Mala pertaining to Anu, Maayaa, and Karma.

· 4-fold: It is also four-fold, becuase it assumes the nature of (1) Suunya, (2) Praana, (3) Puryastaka, and (4) the gross body.

· 7-pentads: The thirty-five Tattva-s below Siva down to the earth is also it's nature. From Siva down to Sakala he also becomes seven-fold experients and of the nature of five-fold coverings (from Kalaa to Niiyati).

* * *

Sutra 8: The positions of the various systems of philosophy are only various roles of that (consciousness or Self).

Comments: The positions of the various systems of philosophy are, so to speak, roles assumed by the Self.

1. The Caarvaakas, for instance, maintain that the Self is identical with the body characterised by consciousness.

2. The followers of Nyaaya practically consider Buddhi to be the Self in the worldly condition. After liberation, they consider Self as identical with the void.

3. The Miimaamsakas also practically consider Buddhi to be the Self inasmuch as they believe the I-consciousness to be the Self.

4. The Buddhists also consider only the functions of Buddhi as the Self.

5. Some Vedaantins regard the Praana as the Self.

6. Some of the Vedaantins and the Maadhyamikas regard " non-being " as the fundamental principle.

7. The followers of
