Talk:Chidakasha

Latest comment: 8 years ago by AlwayzaGentleman


Many thanks for the author of this article to attempt to explain a concept that is difficult to put into words. The difficult to understand aspect of this article, for me, is the first section. It reads, "Chidākāsha means 'mental space' in which all gross and subtle activities of the consciousness take place; it is the sky of consciousness, everything dies and evaporates in this space of consciousness, everything is reduced to its essence in this space.[1]" If everything dies and evaporates in this space, how is everything also reduced to its essence in this space? Something can theoretically die and evaporate, or die and be reduced to its essence, but not die, evaporate, and be reduced to its essence, since evaporation does not leave a residual essence.

Footnote number 1 does not direct a reader to BKS Iyengar, but to a Google search of a book about him, which results in an error message. AlwayzaGentleman (talk) 16:56, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
