BASICS OF TATTVA
There are twenty-four Tattvas or Principles of the manifestation of Mula Prakriti:
Maya is twofold:
Vidya (knowledge), Avidya (ignorance).
Sadhana is fourfold:
(a) Viveka (discrimination); (b) Vairagya (dispassion); (c) Shad-Sampat (six
virtues)—(i) Shama (tranquillity of mind), (ii) Dama (self-restraint or control of
the senses), (iii) Uparati (cessation from worldly activity), (iv) Titiksha (fortitude
or power of endurance), (v) Shraddha (faith in God, Guru, Scriptures and Self),
(vi) Samadhana (concentration or one-pointedness of mind); (d) Mumukshuttva
(yearning for liberation).
w The nature of Atman or Brahman is threefold: Sat (existence), Chit
(consciousness), Ananda (bliss).
w The Granthis or knots of the heart are three: Avidya (ignorance), Kama
(desire), Karma (action).
Samshayabhavana (doubt),
Asambhavana (feeling of impossibility),
Viparitabhavana (perverted or wrong thinking).
Prakriti is twofold:
Para,
Apara.
The eye, throat and the heart,—these three form the Desa or place for the Jiva.
Jagrat, Svapna and Sushupti-Waking, Dreaming and Deep Sleep states,—these
three form the three periods, Kala, or time for the Jiva.
Sthula, Sukshma and Karana-Gross, Subtle and Causal,—are the three bodies for
the Jiva.
The above three themselves become the Bhoga-Samagri or the means of
enjoyment for the Jiva.
Visva, Taijasa and Prajna are the three names under which the Jiva goes in
identification with the three bodies.
The Samsara beginning from Jagrat and ending in Moksha becomes the Karya for
the Jiva.
