Universal ruler theory in purpose of life.





The Kapila philosophy of universal rulers theory in purpose of life is very different among the acient philosopher.

Universal ruler and purpose of lifeA human being has the wonderful ability to go deep inside, observe reality, and come out of suffering.
  
The Great philosopher Kapila denied the universal rulers theory in purpose of life that there was a being who created the universe.
What then is the source of the empirical universe? The empirical universe consists of things evolved (Vyakta) and things that are not evolved  (Avyakta).

Individual things(Vyakta Vastu )can not be the source of unevolved things(Avyakta Vastu ).

An effect must differ from its cause,though it must consist of the cause.

Things that have evolved have a cause and the things that have not evolved have also a cause,just as other things of whole existence there is no doubt,cannot be perceived; or because of their too great a distance or proximity; or though the intervention of a third object, or though admixture with a semi lar matter;or though the presence of some more powerful  Sensation   or the blindness or other defect of the senses or the mind of the observer.

Philosophy of Universe 

The process of development of the unevolved is though the activities of three constituents of which it is made up,
  1. Sattva
  2. Rajas
  3. Tama's is called three Gunas.

The three constituents act essentially in close relation,they overpower and support one another and intermingle with one another.

They are like the constituents of a lamp,the flame,the oil and wick.


Philosophy of Universe


When the three Gun as are in perfect balance,none overpowering the other,the universe appears static(Achetan ) and creases to evolve,when the three Gun as are not in balance,one overpowers the other the universe become dynamic (Sachetan ) and evolution begins


The invocations are mere prayer for help against enemies, for gift of wealth, for accepting the offering of food,flesh and wine from the devotee. These vedic sages were 
  1. Avhamarsana 
  2. prajapati 
  3. Brahmanaspati 
  4. Manila 
  5. Dirghatamas, 
  6. Narayan.


The main problems of these vedic philosophers were: How did the world originate? 

In what manner were individual things created? 

Why have they their unity and existence? 

Who created,and who ordinate? 

From what did the world spring up and to what again will it return ?


Aghamarsana said that the world was created out of Tapas(heat).Tapas was the creative principle from which eternal law and truth were born. From these were produced the night(Tama's). 

Tama's produced water and from water originate time. 

Time gave birth to the sun. and the moon ,the heaven and the earth,the firmament and light and ordained the days and night.


Brahmanaspati postulated the genesis of being from non - being By the tern non -existance, he denoted apparently the infinite. 

The existent originally sprang up from the nonexistent. 

The nonexistent (as at, nones) was the permanent foundation of all that is existent (sat, en's)and of all that is possible and yet non existent (as at).

Prajapati started with problem :Did being come out of non- being? 

His view was that this was an irrelevant question. For him water was the original substances  of that which exists. 

For him the original matter_water_came neither under the defination of being nor under that of non- being.


Anila was another vedic philosopher. 

To him the principal element was air(vayu).

It possesses the inherent capacity for movement. It is endowed with the generating principle.


Dirghtamas maintained that all living beings rest and depend ultimately on the sun. 

The sun held up and propelled by its inherent force went backward and forward.

The sun composed of a grey colored substance and so are lightning and fire.

The sun lightning and fire formed the germ of water .water forms germs of plants,such were the view of Dirghatamas


According to Narayana ,purusha(God) is the first cause of the universe. 
  • It is form purusha that the sun ,
  • the moon, 
  • the earth, 
  • water,
  • fire, 
  • air,
  • mid_air,
  • the sky, 
  • the regions , 
  • the seasons, 
  • the creatures of the air,
  • all animals,
  • all classes of men,
  • and all human institution, had originated.


 Hiranyagarbha ,form doctrinals point of views he stood midway between Parjapati and Narayanas. 

He means the golden germ. 

It was the great power of universe, from which all other powers and existences, devine and earthly were derived.


Their theories were mere speculations not based on logic nor facts. 

Their contribution to philosophy created no social values. 

Thus the great philosopher Kapila and Budhha rejected  the philosophy of the vedic rishis as useless. 

But the kapila prove that for purposes of proving the truth only two meaning of proof 

  1. perception 
  2. inference. 

Kapila said the empirical universe, world consists of things 

  1. evolved(vyakta) and 
  2. things that are not evolved(avyakta).


The disturbance in the balance of the three Gunas was due to the presence of Dukha(suffering ).



Nama-Rupa is a collective name for a sentient being.

Nama - Rupa Khandas


Nama Kaya -A sentient being is a compound thing consisting of a certain physical element and certain mental elements. They are called"Khandas".

The Rupa khandas primary consists of the physical elements such as earth,water,fire and air. They constitute the Body or Rupa.This Nama Khandas is called Vinana or consciousnesses.


This Nama Khan days includes the three mental elements 

  1. Vedana (Sensation springing from contact of the six sense with the world),
  2. Sanna (perception), 
  3.  Sankhara (state of mind),
  4.  Chetana (consciousness) is sometimes spoken of along with the three other mental states as being one of them.

A modern psychologist would say that consciousness is  the   mainspring from which other psychological phenomenona arise.

Rupa Kaya -Vinana is the center of a sentient being. It is true that consciousness arises with Birth and dies with death. Wherever there was Rupa or Kaya,there was consciousness accompanying it.

To give an analogy from science,there is an electric field and wherever there is an electric field,it is always accompanied by a magnetic field. 

No one knows  How  the magnetic field is created or how it arises

But it always exists along with the electric field.

Why should not the same relationship be said to exist between body and consciousness? 

The magnetic field in relation to electric field is called an induced field. 

Why cannot consciousness be called an induced field in relation to Rupa-Kaya ?

Training  a kind of conditioning of the  mind

 Buddha teach Dhamma. He never taught any " ism " or sectarian doctrine. 

He taught something from which people of every backgrounds can benefit : an art of living. Remaining in ignorance is harmful for everyone, developing Wisdom is good for everyone. 

So anyone can practice this technique and find benefits. 

  • A Christian will become a good Christian  , 
  • A Jew will become a good Jew, 
  • A Muslim will become a good Muslim, 
  • A Hindu will become a good Hindu, 
  • A Buddhist will become a good Buddhist. 

One must become a good human being, 

  • Otherwise one can never be a good Christian, 
  • a good Jew, 
  • a good Muslim, 
  • a good Buddhist, 
  • a good Hindu. 

How become a good human being - that is most important.

If you do it as a game or mechanical ritual, then you condition the mind

But that is a misuse of Vipassana. When it is practiced correctly, it enables you to experience truth directly, for yourself. And from this experience, naturally understanding develops, which destroys all previous conditioning.

Instead of imposing anything on the mind, it automatically removes unwholesome qualities so that only wholesome , positive ones remain. By eliminating negativities, it uncovers the positivity which is basic nature of a pure mind.

When your body is sick, you enter a hospital to recover health

You don't go there for your whole life, but simply to regain health, which you will then use in ordinary life. In the same way you come to meditation course to gain mental health, which you will then use in ordinary life for your good and for the good of others.

You are to perform an operation on your mind. An operation must be done in a hospital, in an operating theater protected from contamination. 

Here within the boundaries of the course, you can perform the operation without being disturbed by any outside influence. 

When the course is over the operation has ended, and you are ready once again to face the world.

What is the real religion of the householder ?

Technique heal the physical body 

 Many psychosomatic diseases naturally disappear when mental tensions are dissolved.  

If the mind is agitated, physical disease are bound to develop. When the mind becomes clam and pure, automatically they will go away

But if you take the curing of a physical disease as your goal instead of the purification of your mind, you achieve neither one nor the other. 

I have found that people who join a course with the aim of curing a physical illness have their attention fixed only on their disease throughout the course.

We can not live in a state of peace because of wisdom is lacking. 

A life without wisdom is a life of illusion, which is a state of agitation, of misery

Our first responsibility is to live a healthy, harmonious life, good for ourselves and for all others. 

To do so we must learn to use our facility of self - observation, truth - observation.

Being overpowered by positivity - Being sensitive to the suffering of others doesn't mean that you must become sad yourself. Instead you should remain calm and balanced, so that you can act to alleviate their suffering. 

Conclusion -

If you also become sad, you increase the unhappiness around you, you don't help others, you don't help yourself.

Not to use this ability, is to waste one's life. Use it to live a really healthy, happy life. 

When the mind is free of conditioning, it is always full of love  - pure love - and you feel peaceful and happy. If you remove the negativity of universal rulers theory in purpose of life, then positivity remains, purity remains.
