"Human beings need each other for their continued existence, both as 
individuals and as a species; moreover, without continued existence, 
they 
cannot attain Perfection; whereby it follows that they need each other 
precisely in order to attain perfection.  Thus, the perfection, the 
completion of each individual, depends on other individuals of the 
species; and thus man must have intercourse and association with the 
sons 
of men, based on mutual assistance.  Without this, he will stray from 
the 
way of justice and fall into inequity."

Earlier I posted a copy of a few of the Aphorisms of Patanjali that 
mentioned some Siddhas. They were close to the original (except some 
bigtime spelling errors) and used the Sanskrit teminology. Anyone that 
wants a rendition of the complete Yoga Sutras that are more 'readable' 
to Western mind check out:
 
http://www.yoga.com/raw/yoga/info/sutras/SutrasBecksEnglishVersion.html
 
Even at that, I don't purport to understand/interpret them; I just 
report them as I find them. BTW a good basic glossary of terms can be 
found at:
 
http://www.rsl.ukans.edu/~pkanagar/divine/glossary.htm 
___________________________ 
Just a comment here about Sanskrit (no I don't speak or understand it, 
just passing on what I have read ;-): 
 You will find the same word 'spelled' in different ways. Actually 
transliterated is a more accurate term; in the Devanagari script used 
for spelling sanskrit there is very little variation. 
 There are too few letters in the Roman alphabet to cover the possible 
consanantal varieties in Sanskrit. For example, there are two r's; one 
is a vowel and one is a consonant. In the word karma the 'r' is a 
consonant, in the word rg it is a vowel; hence you will see two 
spellings in reference to the Rg Veda. The one I just typed and also Rig 
Veda. The 'i' in Rig doesn't exist in Sanskrit, it is just plopped in to 
'please' the Western eye and also gives an indication of the original 
sound. So when scrounging around in 'dictionaries' for definitions keep 
the 'variable r' principal in mind. The discussion of vivartta may be a 
case of this; vrtti means a course of action and may be related to the 
mystery word; which may actually be vivrtta? 
 The combos of consonants with an H cause a problem, too. They are used 
to indicate an 'aspiration' that we don't think of as particularly 
important except in speech rhythm. For example there are two distinct 
consonants in Sanskrit which are transliterated into English as: p and 
ph (not as in ele{ph}ant). We do say them differently in English; the 
first is said like the 'p' we say when we pronounce upward, the other 
when we pronounce pan. In 'upward' we stop the letter 'p' short and then 
start to say the second syllable 'ward'. In 'pan' we say the letter 'p', 
continue the sound by expelling breath and moving on without break into 
the rest of the syllable 'an'. In effect we 'aspirate' an 'h' sound. We 
don't think a lot of this, but in many languages (Sanskrit among them) 
this constitutes a completely different sound and consequently, in 
Devanagari, different 'letter'. 
 This causes the Westerner a problem; does one 'spell' the devanagari 
symbols or does one 'spell' the sound? As a result you get two 
'spellings' for the same word; i.e. cakra and chakra .... citti and 
chitti. Despite the different 'spellings' the English pronunciation is 
the same. Chakra is chakra whether it is spelled with or without the 
'h'. Part of the problem has come from the use of minute diacritical 
markings that you sometimes see over and under the letters when the 'h' 
is absent from the spelling - these were and are used to indicate which 
pronunciation was intended. However, these special type characters are 
absent from most fonts and so when they are set up are skipped entirely. 
 To complicate matters more, there were two SH sounds recognized in 
Sanskrit, which gives us an S, an S with a diacritical accent above 
representing one of the SH sounds and an S with a diacritical dot below 
representing the other SH sound. To add to the S-miseries, some early 
transliteration schemes represented the first SH sound with the French 
c-cedilla; i.e., ç. There is no sound in Sanskrit for our Z-sound. 
 Likewise, there is no sound in Sanskrit that conforms to the English TH 
sound found in either 'the' or 'thin'. Hence, hathayoga is actually 
pronounced as if it were spelled HAH-tuh-YOH-guh. 
 The lesson to be learned here is that foreign languages are a bear; and 
Sanskrit is a big, ugly, grizzly, bear. If you don't find what you are 
looking for, keep in mind that spelling is a wildly variable thing!

     Thank you for printing this qu by Nelson Mandela.  I (a psychologist)  
     was just talking to one of my clients about this quote.  They were  
     struggling with having a sense of meaning in their and being of  
     importance.  I have now copied the quote and will be mailing this to  
     her.  Thanks so much.

LIBERATION 
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
Our deep fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.  
We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, 
  talented and fabulous?" 
Actually who are you not to be? 
You are a child of God. Your playing small 
  doesn't serve the world. 
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that 
 other people won't feel insecure around you. 
We were born to manifest the glory of God 
  that is within us. 
It is not just in some of us; it's in everyone. 
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give 
  other people permission to do the same. 
As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence 
  automatically liberates others. 
      --Nelson Mandela 
      1994 Inaugural Speech (fragemnt)

it was suggested that if i put the word in context it may assist someone to  
clarify the meaning of the this word...
 
'the Tantra recognizes, and claims not to be in conflict with Veda'... 
'it follows the mode of evolution of Jiva is concerned, as also an  
Abhasa, in the nature of Vivartta...in the Pure Creation.'

Hello Jeremiah,
 
Gnothi seauton is Greek for: Know thyself. This motto was inscribed on the 
temple of Apollo (orig. the god of archery, prophecy, medecine. poetry and 
music, later identified with Helios, the Sun-god ) in Delphi (Greece). The 
line has been attributed to several Greek philosophers, a.o. Thales and 
Chilo. In Latin it is known as: Nosce te ipsum.

    GENIUS-L is an unmoderated discussion list devoted to discussing the 
    nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to enlightenment.  There is no 
    emphasis placed on any particular religious or philosophical tradition, 
    but neither is it a forum for mere academic pedantry.  High-quality 
    discussion between free-thinking individuals who are serious about 
    philosophy and spirituality is encouraged.

Actually, I have been wondering about this for a long time! 
so.....this is really rich with meaning for me... 
and...now I know why I do not wish to throw a pebble in the 
lake and make it ripple.....ooooohhhhhh....this really helps 
me to know that it is ok...to be....... 
Thank you.  I thank the universe for raising me right next 
to a lake filled with hard water.  I used to swim in it.... 
used to float and bend over...and dive to the bottom... 
now.... ah ha!!! I  get the metaphor!!!!!
 
Bless you.....bless you....bless you.... 
resistance....is not.....diving..... 
and...thank you again!!!!!!!!!!   ..........
