16. The Emergence into Timelessness: A Journey Beyond the Veil of Time

In the quietude of existence, where the mind surrenders its restless grasp and the heart rests in its own rhythm, there exists a profound reality beyond the clutches of time. It is a reality that is not bound by the ticking of clocks or the unfolding of calendars. It is the Eternal Present—an infinite realm where the essence of all things remains untouched by the transient dance of phenomena. To step into this state, to emerge into Timelessness, is to awaken to a dimension of existence that transcends the ordinary, unveiling the sacred tapestry of Eternity.

The Illusion of Time

Time, as we know it, is a construct of the human mind. It is a framework within which we organize the experiences of our lives—a linear sequence of past, present, and future. Yet, when examined with full attention and silence, this framework begins to dissolve. What is the "past" but memories, ephemeral shadows of what once was? What is the "future" but projections, fragile dreams of what may come to be? Even the "present," when dissected, is a fleeting moment, slipping through our grasp as soon as it arrives.

In the field of deep observation, where thought ceases its ceaseless chatter, this illusion of time begins to fade. The incessant march of moments blurs into a single, infinite now. Here, in this stillness, the veil of time lifts, revealing the timeless essence that underpins all existence.

The Art of Observation

To emerge into timelessness, one must cultivate the art of pure observation—a state of quiet attention devoid of judgment or interpretation. It is not merely seeing with the eyes but perceiving with the whole being. In this state, objects and events lose their superficial meanings. A tree is no longer "a tree" as labeled by the mind, but an intricate play of form, light, and presence. A passing cloud is no longer "a cloud" but a transient manifestation of the infinite.

In such observation, the boundaries between the observer and the observed dissolve. The act of seeing becomes an act of being. The perceived and the perceiver merge into one, revealing the unity of existence.

The Transparency of Phenomena

In the timeless state, all phenomena take on a new quality. They become transparent, as if their true nature shines through their form. The solidity of the world fades, replaced by a sense of fluidity and lightness. Every object, every event, becomes a fleeting ripple on the vast ocean of existence—a ripple that neither adds to nor subtracts from the ocean itself.

This transparency reveals a deeper truth: the impermanence of all things. The universe is a dance of arising and passing away, a ceaseless flow in which nothing remains fixed. Yet, amidst this flow, there is an unchanging background—a formless, eternal presence that pervades all. It is the ground of being, the essence of Eternity.

The Eternal Present

To touch this ground is to awaken to the Eternal Present. It is not a moment in time but a dimension beyond time. In this state, the mind ceases its grasping, the heart releases its attachments, and the soul rests in its natural state of freedom. It is a state of pure being, unconditioned and infinite.

The Eternal Present is the space in which all things arise and dissolve. It is the canvas upon which the transient phenomena of existence are painted, yet it remains untouched by the colors and forms. To live in this present is to live in alignment with the flow of life, to dance with existence without resistance or clinging.

Enlightenment: The Awakening to Timelessness

The emergence into timelessness is the essence of enlightenment. It is not a destination or an achievement but a realization of what has always been. It is the awakening to the truth that you are not separate from the Eternal; you are the Eternal experiencing itself through the lens of time.

In this realization, all fears dissolve, for fear is rooted in the illusion of time. Without time, there is no future to dread and no past to regret. There is only the boundless freedom of the now. This is complete freedom, the liberation that all spiritual traditions point toward.

Living in the Infinity of Existence

To live in timelessness is to embrace the infinity of existence. It is to recognize that life is not a journey from birth to death but a continuous unfolding within the Eternal. Every moment is an expression of the infinite, and every experience is a doorway to the sacred.

This way of living does not withdraw from the world but transforms how one engages with it. Actions arise from a place of stillness and clarity, untainted by the compulsions of the ego. Relationships are imbued with a sense of unity and compassion, for the boundaries of separateness have dissolved. Even the smallest acts—breathing, walking, listening—become sacred rituals in the dance of existence.

Conclusion: The Invitation to Eternity

The emergence into timelessness is not reserved for mystics or sages; it is the birthright of every being. It begins with a single step: the willingness to observe quietly, with full attention, and without the interference of thought. In this simple act lies the key to unlocking the infinite.

As you sit in stillness, as you watch the play of light and shadow, as you listen to the silence beneath the sounds, you may find yourself slipping into the Eternal Present. Here, in the heart of timelessness, you will discover the truth of who you are—not a fleeting shadow but the light itself, eternal and infinite.

Let this be an invitation, a call to awaken. The doorway to Eternity is always open, and the timeless truth is always present. Step through, and emerge into the boundless freedom of existence.

Η Ανάδυση στο Άχρονο: Ένα ταξίδι πέρα από το πέπλο του χρόνου

Στην ησυχία της ύπαρξης, όπου το μυαλό παραδίδει την ανήσυχη σύλληψή του και η καρδιά αναπαύεται στον δικό της ρυθμό, υπάρχει μια βαθιά πραγματικότητα πέρα από τα νύχια του χρόνου. Είναι μια πραγματικότητα που δεν δεσμεύεται από το χτύπημα των ρολογιών ή το ξεδίπλωμα των ημερολογίων. Είναι το Αιώνιο Παρόν—ένα άπειρο βασίλειο όπου η ουσία όλων των πραγμάτων παραμένει ανέγγιχτη από τον παροδικό χορό των φαινομένων. Το να μπεις σε αυτή την κατάσταση, να αναδυθείς στη Διαχρονικότητα, σημαίνει να αφυπνιστείς σε μια διάσταση ύπαρξης που υπερβαίνει το συνηθισμένο, αποκαλύπτοντας την ιερή ταπετσαρία της Αιωνιότητας.

Η ψευδαίσθηση του χρόνου

Ο χρόνος, όπως τον ξέρουμε, είναι ένα κατασκεύασμα του ανθρώπινου μυαλού. Είναι ένα πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο οργανώνουμε τις εμπειρίες της ζωής μας—μια γραμμική ακολουθία παρελθόντος, παρόντος και μέλλοντος. Ωστόσο, όταν εξετάζεται με πλήρη προσοχή και σιωπή, αυτό το πλαίσιο αρχίζει να διαλύεται. Τι είναι το «παρελθόν» εκτός από αναμνήσεις, εφήμερες σκιές αυτού που ήταν κάποτε; Ποιο είναι το «μέλλον» εκτός από προβολές, εύθραυστα όνειρα για το τι μπορεί να γίνει; Ακόμη και το «παρόν», όταν ανατέμνεται, είναι μια φευγαλέα στιγμή, που γλιστράει μέσα από την λαβή μας μόλις φτάσει.

Στο πεδίο της βαθιάς παρατήρησης, όπου η σκέψη σταματά την αδιάκοπη φλυαρία της, αυτή η ψευδαίσθηση του χρόνου αρχίζει να ξεθωριάζει. Η αδιάκοπη πορεία των στιγμών θολώνει σε ένα ενιαίο, άπειρο τώρα. Εδώ, σε αυτή την ησυχία, το πέπλο του χρόνου σηκώνεται, αποκαλύπτοντας τη διαχρονική ουσία που στηρίζει όλη την ύπαρξη.

Η Τέχνη της Παρατήρησης

Για να αναδυθεί κανείς στη διαχρονικότητα, πρέπει να καλλιεργήσει την τέχνη της καθαρής παρατήρησης - μια κατάσταση ήσυχης προσοχής χωρίς κρίση ή ερμηνεία. Δεν είναι απλώς να βλέπεις με τα μάτια αλλά να αντιλαμβάνεσαι με όλη την ύπαρξη. Σε αυτή την κατάσταση, τα αντικείμενα και τα γεγονότα χάνουν την επιφανειακή τους σημασία. Ένα δέντρο δεν είναι πλέον «ένα δέντρο» όπως χαρακτηρίζεται από το μυαλό, αλλά ένα περίπλοκο παιχνίδι μορφής, φωτός και παρουσίας. Ένα σύννεφο που περνά δεν είναι πια «ένα σύννεφο» αλλά μια παροδική εκδήλωση του απείρου.

Σε μια τέτοια παρατήρηση, τα όρια μεταξύ του παρατηρητή και του παρατηρούμενου διαλύονται. Η πράξη του να βλέπεις γίνεται πράξη ύπαρξης. Το αντιληπτό και ο αντιλαμβανόμενος συγχωνεύονται σε ένα, αποκαλύπτοντας την ενότητα της ύπαρξης.

Η Διαφάνεια των Φαινομένων

Στη διαχρονική κατάσταση, όλα τα φαινόμενα αποκτούν νέα ποιότητα. Γίνονται διάφανα, σαν να λάμπει η αληθινή τους φύση μέσα από τη μορφή τους. Η στερεότητα του κόσμου ξεθωριάζει, αντικαθίσταται από μια αίσθηση ρευστότητας και ελαφρότητας. Κάθε αντικείμενο, κάθε γεγονός, γίνεται ένας φευγαλέος κυματισμός στον απέραντο ωκεανό της ύπαρξης – ένας κυματισμός που ούτε προσθέτει ούτε αφαιρεί από τον ίδιο τον ωκεανό.

Αυτή η διαφάνεια αποκαλύπτει μια βαθύτερη αλήθεια: την παροδικότητα όλων των πραγμάτων. Το σύμπαν είναι ένας χορός ανάδυσης και θανάτου, μια αδιάκοπη ροή στην οποία τίποτα δεν μένει σταθερό. Ωστόσο, μέσα σε αυτή τη ροή, υπάρχει ένα αμετάβλητο υπόβαθρο - μια άμορφη, αιώνια παρουσία που διαπερνά τα πάντα. Είναι το έδαφος της ύπαρξης, η ουσία της Αιωνιότητας.

Το Αιώνιο Παρόν

Το να αγγίξεις αυτό το έδαφος σημαίνει να ξυπνήσεις στο Αιώνιο Παρόν. Δεν είναι μια στιγμή στο χρόνο αλλά μια διάσταση πέρα από το χρόνο. Σε αυτή την κατάσταση, ο νους παύει να πιάνει, η καρδιά απελευθερώνει τις προσκολλήσεις της και η ψυχή αναπαύεται στη φυσική της κατάσταση ελευθερίας. Είναι μια κατάσταση καθαρής ύπαρξης, χωρίς όρους και άπειρη.

Το Αιώνιο Παρόν είναι ο χώρος στον οποίο όλα τα πράγματα προκύπτουν και διαλύονται. Είναι ο καμβάς πάνω στον οποίο ζωγραφίζονται τα παροδικά φαινόμενα της ύπαρξης, ωστόσο παραμένει ανέγγιχτος από τα χρώματα και τις μορφές. Το να ζεις σε αυτό το παρόν σημαίνει να ζεις σε ευθυγράμμιση με τη ροή της ζωής, να χορεύεις με την ύπαρξη χωρίς αντίσταση ή προσκόλληση.

Διαφωτισμός: Το ξύπνημα στη διαχρονικότητα

Η ανάδυση στη διαχρονικότητα είναι η ουσία του διαφωτισμού. Δεν είναι προορισμός ή επίτευγμα αλλά συνειδητοποίηση αυτού που ήταν πάντα. Είναι η αφύπνιση στην αλήθεια ότι δεν είστε χωριστοί από τον Αιώνιο. είσαι ο Αιώνιος που βιώνει τον εαυτό του μέσα από το φακό του χρόνου.

Σε αυτή τη συνειδητοποίηση, όλοι οι φόβοι διαλύονται, γιατί ο φόβος έχει τις ρίζες του στην ψευδαίσθηση του χρόνου. Χωρίς χρόνο, δεν υπάρχει μέλλον να φοβάσαι και παρελθόν για να μετανιώσεις. Υπάρχει μόνο η απεριόριστη ελευθερία του τώρα. Αυτή είναι η απόλυτη ελευθερία, η απελευθέρωση που δείχνουν όλες οι πνευματικές παραδόσεις.

Ζώντας στο άπειρο της Ύπαρξης

Το να ζεις στη διαχρονικότητα σημαίνει να αγκαλιάζεις το άπειρο της ύπαρξης. Είναι να αναγνωρίσουμε ότι η ζωή δεν είναι ένα ταξίδι από τη γέννηση μέχρι το θάνατο, αλλά ένα συνεχές ξετύλιγμα μέσα στο Αιώνιο. Κάθε στιγμή είναι μια έκφραση του άπειρου και κάθε εμπειρία είναι μια πόρτα προς το ιερό.

Αυτός ο τρόπος ζωής δεν αποσύρεται από τον κόσμο, αλλά μεταμορφώνει τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ασχολείται κανείς με αυτόν. Οι πράξεις προκύπτουν από ένα μέρος ησυχίας και διαύγειας, αμόλυντο από τους καταναγκασμούς του εγώ. Οι σχέσεις είναι εμποτισμένες με μια αίσθηση ενότητας και συμπόνιας, γιατί τα όρια του χωρισμού έχουν διαλυθεί. Ακόμη και οι πιο μικρές πράξεις –η αναπνοή, το περπάτημα, η ακρόαση– γίνονται ιερές τελετουργίες στο χορό της ύπαρξης.

Συμπέρασμα: Η πρόσκληση στην αιωνιότητα

Η ανάδυση στη διαχρονικότητα δεν προορίζεται για μυστικιστές ή σοφούς. είναι το εκ γενετής δικαίωμα κάθε ύπαρξης. Ξεκινά με ένα μόνο βήμα: την προθυμία να παρατηρείς ήσυχα, με πλήρη προσοχή και χωρίς την παρέμβαση της σκέψης. Σε αυτή την απλή πράξη βρίσκεται το κλειδί για να ξεκλειδώσετε το άπειρο.

Καθώς κάθεστε σε ησυχία, καθώς παρακολουθείτε το παιχνίδι του φωτός και της σκιάς, καθώς ακούτε τη σιωπή κάτω από τους ήχους, μπορεί να βρείτε τον εαυτό σας να γλιστράει στο Αιώνιο Παρόν. Εδώ, στην καρδιά της διαχρονικότητας, θα ανακαλύψεις την αλήθεια του ποιος είσαι—όχι μια φευγαλέα σκιά αλλά το ίδιο το φως, αιώνιο και άπειρο.

Ας είναι αυτό μια πρόσκληση, ένα κάλεσμα για αφύπνιση. Η πόρτα στην Αιωνιότητα είναι πάντα ανοιχτή και η διαχρονική αλήθεια είναι πάντα παρούσα. Προχωρήστε και αναδυθείτε στην απεριόριστη ελευθερία της ύπαρξης.

Samkhya Yoga

Samkhya Yoga is one of the six Āstika schools of Hindu philosophy. It is most related to the Yoga school of Hinduism, and it is a dualistic philosophy that describes the universe as consisting of two realities: puruṣa (consciousness) and prakṛti (matter). These two realities coexist and work together, but are fundamentally distinct.

The term "Samkhya" is derived from the Sanskrit word "samkhya" which means "number", "count", "measure", or "calculation", and this school of philosophy is known for its systematic enumeration and logical examination of the various components of reality.

Here are the key elements of Samkhya philosophy:

1. Dualism: The core belief of Samkhya is that there are two fundamental realities in the universe, puruṣa (consciousness) and prakṛti (matter). Puruṣa is the eternal, unchangeable, impassive observer, while prakṛti is the source of all material existence, including the mind and senses.

2. Prakṛti and its Evolutes: Prakṛti evolves into various forms and functions. The first evolute of prakṛti is the Mahat or Buddhi (intelligence), which is followed by Ahamkara (ego), Manas (mind), the five buddhindriyas (sensory organs), the five karmendriyas (action organs), and the five tanmatras (subtle elements), which finally manifest as the five mahabhutas (gross physical elements).

3. The Goal of Liberation: Samkhya philosophy posits that the ultimate goal of life is to achieve liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death. This is achieved when the puruṣa realizes its distinction from prakṛti and ceases to identify with the material world.

4. Knowledge as the Means of Liberation: Knowledge is considered the only means to achieve liberation in Samkhya philosophy. By understanding the true nature of puruṣa and prakṛti, one can break free from the cycle of birth and death.

5. Atheistic Viewpoint: Unlike many other Hindu philosophies, Samkhya does not assert the existence of God. It is essentially atheistic, with the focus being on the individual's realization of their own spiritual nature.

While the philosophy of Samkhya is closely related to the practice of Yoga, they are distinct. Yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, incorporates the philosophical insights of Samkhya but adds a practical path of meditation and ethical conduct to achieve liberation. The two schools have been so closely associated historically that they are often considered together as Samkhya-Yoga.

Purusha

Prakriti

Samsara

Ashtanga Yoga

Kaivalya

Purusha

Purusha Is Eternal Reality, without attributes. Pure Consciousness, Autonomous, Free and at the same time Unlimited Perception that grasps anything "objective", without actually being bound. The Purusha is characterized in the scriptures as Nirgunatvat (without attributes), Nirsidharma (without “intelligence”), Asang (unbound, free), drast (“viewer”, absolute consciousness, vision par excellence).

Prakriti is the Energy underlying all phenomena, which transforms into intelligence, energy, matter.

Purusha, without qualities, unlimited perception, is connected with Prakriti, perceives Prakriti and its transformations. At the same time Prakriti under the influence of Purusha is transformed producing the world of phenomena. This relationship, correspondence is called yogayata

Prakriti

Before creation, Purusha and Prakriti are independent. Prakriti is at rest as the forces governing it (gunas) are in perfect balance. It is an Energy without properties, "formless". This state is called avyakta. At the beginning of creation (at its inception) the Purusha that "connects" with Prakriti perceives Prakriti in this state of equilibrium, as energy without qualities while Prakriti "reflects" exactly the Purusha. Thus, Energy undergoes its first transformation, becoming Mahat, pure intelligence. This "movement" is called vyakta. From this transformation will progressively arise all states of energy, forms of becoming, creation.

Already, from the moment Prakriti passed from the original state of perfect balance (the state where it was without qualities) to the state of intelligence, the forces within Prakriti were disturbed and the Energy began to transform. It entered a flow of evolution, of activating the potentials that already existed in Prakriti, in a phase in which it is now being pushed to develop all that exists in potential. This evolution of Prakriti is called parinama.

In this phase of evolution, there is no longer a balance of forces within Prakriti. Some moments, dynamisms, forces appear, which prompt movement, transformation. The transformation of Prakriti takes place according to these moments, forces. The principles of this development are called gunas and they are:

a) sattva, the principle of balance that manifests itself (in whatever cosmic field or level we refer to) as purity, tranquility (pure intelligence, pure sensation, will, pure action of matter).

b) rajas, the principle of action (disturbance of balance) which manifests itself as potency, activity (activity of intelligence, activity of sense, activity of matter).

c) tamas, the principle of static inertia (resistance to action) that manifests as slowing down and dissolution (mental vagueness, sensual confusion).

The three gunas appear as a "spectrum of activity" in which we distinguish three sub-regions. The transition from one area of the activity spectrum to another is gradual and smooth. When sattva increases excessively (upward) we move into a "superior" state. When tamas increases excessively (downward) we pass into a "lower quality" state. The state, which is a field of activity, a space of manifestation, of existence is called Vikara .

Thus, when within the Mahat ( vikara ) which is a homogeneous field, sattva predominates the Mahat "reflects" the Purusha as an indeterminate state without qualities. When rajas dominates, the perception of a universal consciousness is created. When tamas prevails then the perception of a wider consciousness that spreads throughout space prevails.

When within the Mahat the tamas increases excessively (downward) we pass into a qualitatively inferior state which is the sphere of individualization of the Mahat, the Andahkarana (vicara), which is a field of multiplicity. Depending on which force (sattva, rajas, tamas) prevails, the functions of Buddhi, Ahamkara, Manas are manifested (the transformations of intelligence are called vrittis and depending on which force from sattva, rajas, tamas, predominates is correspondingly prakhya pravritti, stitti).

When inside the Andahkarana vicariously tamas increases excessively (downwards) we pass into the realm of Prana (etheric energy). Depending on which force (sattva, rajas, tamas) prevails the jnana functions are manifested intrigue, karma intrigue and tanmatra.

When in Prana vicariously tamas increases excessively (downward) we pass into the realm of Akasa , the material universe. Depending on which force (sattva, rajas, tamas) prevails, the elements Akasa (ether, space, space), mahabuta (air, fire, water, earth) and the various material bodies are manifested.

Thus, Prakriti is transformed according to its impulses and all states, forms of becoming are produced. Various fields of manifestation called vicars are thus created. The entire creation is the product of an initial energy that progressively produces intelligence, force, matter. In the higher fields of activity there is no distinction between subject and object. In the lower fields of activity, however, there is a distinction of subject object. However, since in reality everything comes from one energy and is of the same texture, we should not be surprised by the fact that in the cosmology of Samkya Yoga, subjective and objective elements are mentioned without distinction (objective does not have the meaning of independent).

The Evolution of Prakriti (parinama) follows certain laws which lead through a definite path to a definite end. Creation is a cyclical phenomenon and ends after the passage of a huge period of time again in the restoration of the balance of forces within Prakriti and in the dissolution of all transformations of Prakriti, all forms of becoming. This state is known as Mahapralaya.

Samsara

Purusha Is Undifferentiated Reality, without attributes, Pure Consciousness. This is His Natural State. The State of Absolute Freedom, Isolation from everything else (Prakriti). This State is called Vidya.

When the Purusha "connects" with Prakriti he "observes" the cosmic energy and its transformations. At the same time Prakriti comes to life. As qualityless (formless) energy it reflects the Purusha and becomes intelligence. When the Purusha concentrates completely on Prakriti , when He gives His "whole attention" to it, it becomes pure receptivity, absorbed in the object, only the object exists. It is precisely because of this continued connection with the Purusha that Prakriti is impelled to a further movement and development. The state where the Purusha absorbed in the formations of Prakriti is called avidya.

Thus, the Purusha has the experience of Prakriti, its transformations. It forms the perception of an individual existence (asmita), an individual life and evolution. As long as the Purusha remains in the state of avidya and continues to observe, to be absorbed in Prakriti and its transformations and thereby "support" Prakriti and its transformations (which precisely because of this continued support transforms and produces new forms of becoming, new states, subjective and objective phenomena) there is still this individual existence within Prakriti, in its various fields. The Purusha observes and watches this individual existence in its course through evolution, through creation, through the various cosmic fields, from life to life, until it comes to realize that all these are only transformations of Prakriti something extraneous, so it ceases to be absorbed in all this he comes to His Real State. This path is called samsara (where only Prakriti transforms and passes from life to life) and Liberation, or Independence, is called Kaivalgya. Within "creation" everything evolves according to the law of karma, the law of universal causation. According to this law the path in evolution is determined by our own action. The present state depends on the past action, while the present action prepares the future existence.

Ashtanga Yoga

Purusha Is Undifferentiated Reality, without attributes. As long as the Purusha concentrates on Prakriti and gives all His attention to the transformations, He is absorbed in individual existence, its functions (Buddhi, Ahamkara, Manas), its energies (Prana), its states (Akasha, material body), the various secular fields. The Real State of the Purusha is the Undifferentiated state of Kaivalya (Independence, Isolation) and not its connection with Prakriti, His absorption in her transformations. In order for the Purusha to reach His Real State, in whatever cosmic field he may be at the present stage, he must cease to be absorbed in the transformations of Prakriti.

In the material world the Practice leading to Liberation is called Ashtanga Yoga and includes several stages. These stages are:

1) Kaivalya in the material realm, Isolation, cut off from prakriti in the material realm, from all transformation.

2) Asambrajnata Samadhi, Control of Mahat (three varieties of intelligence).

3) Three Varieties of Sambrajnata Samadi:

1) Asmitas Samadhi Control of Buddhi (Elimination of egoic intelligence, of transformations of consciousness).

2) Ananda Samadhi, Control of Ahamkara (Neutralization of mental processes, thinking, etc.).

3) Four varieties of Samadhi, nirvisara, savisara, nirvitarka, savitarka). Control of Manas (Elimination of perceptual processes through concentration on a single point).

4) Control of the Sense, through Pratyahara and Pranayama.

5) Control of the Body through Asana, Niyama (Conformations) and Yama (Renunciations), that is, through actions to be followed and actions to be rejected.

It is understood that depending on the evolution of individual existence the Purusha will start from the stage he is at the given moment. When Purusha attains Kaivalya (mukti) he is a jivan mukti (living liberated). He can use Prakriti, the transformations, without binding anymore.

Kaivalya

The Purusha, through the Practice of Yoga, transcends becoming in the material realm (in its various levels of manifestation, the material, the perceptual, the mental, the universal). By exercise it brings the chitta into a state of "amorphism" without transformations. And so, it ceases to be identified with the transformations of the chitta, since there are no more transformations. As the mental impressions that maintain the perception of an individual existence (in the material realm) also disappear, the Purusha is freed forever from "individual existence in the material realm". The main characteristic then of this state of Kaivalgia, is that the Purusha realizes the Real Being, the True Self, which is completely distinct from becoming in the material realm, ceases to be identified with any existence in the material realm. The Purusha now perceives its existence as Something Infinitely Wider than a material existence, than an existence limited to the limits of the material world. It has a perception of an existence in a space wider than the material realm. It is evident that in this State it is still attached to material existence (until the causes which produced it are exhausted) and can now use the lower transformations without being drawn into an identification and without attachment.
