Hindu Philosophy- A Rational Life

  An action without desiring result, whatever you do, you will have no single feeling of un-success, neither feeling of revenge nor you have any expectations from the work or from yourself. This will help you to remain calm, the action which performed with the desire of result leads you in pressure and therefore before performing the act you have pre-deposit that the result will be according to the act, and fear of failing to get the desired result, that leads you to frustration. The substance like desire, frustration, expectations, sorrow, and pity all affects the body and the blood pressure changes with such feelings that affect not only our psychology but also our body. See a businessman in metro city, he invest money in business expecting the result that the money will multiply. He creates hope and expectation with this action or karma of investment and these hopes and expectations increased his blood pressure as he remains thinking about the result every time.

  Universe in Hindu Philosophy: Singularity and Cosmology "There was neither existence and nor non-existence; There was neither space nor air;" Hindu philosophy had testing system to assess their doctrines and even their metaphysics and ethics were  tested well before pronouncing in the mass.  The confusion arose when we mixed philosophy with mythologies. Indian philosophies and Upnishads is a one part and then mythologies and Puranas is another part of Hindu concepts and interestingly both the parts are drive from Vedas. And it was a chance that mythologies and Purnanas prevailed over philosophy and Upnishads making Hindu thoughts purely a showcase of spiritualism. The first question which every Indian system of philosophy has settled is how we come to know a certain things. Three channels by which knowledge can reached, perception, inference and authorities. But the other part of Puranas and mythologies took authorities as the only source of knowledge. https://www.amazon.co

  Nayaya Philosophy took the mind or intellect totally different from the mind of Samkhayas. Samlhya concept of mind is eternal while Naya took it as non-eternal. For Samkya mind is a comic principle independent of self and meant to account for the existence of the light of reasoning in the whole universe.   Nayaya took it as subjective activity of thought in the acquisition of knowledge or in the lighting up and appreciating of the inert impressions received by the senses. This knowledge can come to an end and vanish by forgetfulness while an eternal essence like the mind of Samkhya, though it may ignored can never be destroyed.   Nayaya declared clearly that nor does knowledge belong to the manas which is but the instrument of knowledge, it arises from the conjunction of atman (soul) with manas and on the other side of mana with indriyas (senses).Manas is the true instrument and the wielder of an axe must be someone different from it.   But Lokayat, the Indian materialistic phi

The greatest philosophy in India prevailed at the time of Buddhism and  Vasubandu goes into more detailed when he confronted the existence of pure conscience (Vignaptimatra) with inherent power. This potential attribute with its force perform threefold modification, first of all it manifest itself as Vipaka or alayavijana which is a store house of consciousness. Then this universal consciousness further manifests itself into two forms, it takes the form of an individual subject or ego (Klista Manovijinana) and secondly it manifests itself in the formal the various mental states and of the external objects (Visaya- Vijnapti) . In Indian schools, memory had not got the limelight as it was deserved and it was treated as a means of knowledge then it falls under experience which is either immediate or mediate. Every experience is supposed to leave an impression or modification of the mind which is capable of being revived. Another manifestation of memory is the act of remembering and re

The idea of subtle body by the seeing of gross body is very natural and it was also common in Greeks, Pythagoras claimed that subtle ethereal clothing for the soul apart from its clothing when united with the body. Vedanta took this thin and transparent ( Sukshma Sarira ) soul as a seminal or potential power and at the time of death leaves the corpus without being injured itself. The function of Yoga is subduing away of the self from all that is not self, in the highest object of this philosophy, by ascetic exercises delivering the self from the fetters of the body and the body senses.   Samkhya also hold that senses are different from the soul and in order to prove he argued, “ If each sense could perceive by itself, each sense would perceive its own object only, the eye color, the ear sound, the skin warmth and that what perceives all their impressions together at the same time and in the same object must be something different from the several senses which is the soul. ” The q
