maanaahaa

 the mind is so used to distraction, so trained to go away from what is, 

the central fact that the mind in itself is empty.

abhavaha

 Abhava means something in Buddhism, Pali, Hinduism, Sanskrit, Jainism, Prakrit, Marathi, Hindi. If you want to know the exact meaning, history, etymology or English translation of this term 

bhāva (अभाव, “non-existence”).—The Nyāya-Vaiśeṣikas accept abhāva (non-existence or negaton) as a separate category. This category is a negative one is opposed to other six categories which are positive categories. The theory of the reality of abhāva is related to the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika theory of causation which is known as asatkāryavāda. According to Nyāya-Vaiśeṣikas, abhāva has a existence. According to asatkāryavāda effect is not existent in the cause before its production. A jar is nonexistent on the ground before its production or after its destruction. Before the production and after the destruction abhāva exists. Abhāva is not like sky flower. It has a negative reality.

According to the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika, abhāva or no-existence is real category. Jayanta Bhaṭṭa maintains that non-existence is also capable of producing knowledge. It is not devoid of all capabilities. It is the object of knowledge in the form of ‘it is not’ (nāsti). The Nyāya-Vaiśeṣikas also hold that abhāva is not without any essence. It is determined by its pratiyogī (countercorrelate). In case of negation, there is an object whose non-existence is experienced and there is a locus and which this non-existence is based. The object of non-existence is called its pratiyogī and the locus is called anuyogī.

According to Annaṃbhaṭṭa abhāva has four kinds, viz.,

1. prāgabhāva (antecedent non-existence),
2. pradhvaṃsābhāva (destructive non-existence),
3. atyantābhāva (absolute non-existence),
4. anyonyābhāva (mutual non-existence).

Śivāditya also accepts four varieties of abhāva. Viśvanātha has divided abhāva into two types—saṃsargābhāva and anyonyābhāva.

Vaisheshika (school of philosophy)

[ (A) next»] — Abhava in Vaisheshika glossary

Abhāva (अभाव).—According to Kaṇāda, all objects of knowledge come under six categories. These are: dravya, guṇa, karma, sāmānya, viśeṣa and samavāya. So, Kaṇāda does not accept the abhāva as a separate category. Because if the knowledge of abhāva depends on bhāva-padārtha. So, abhāva is not mentioned as a separate category. Praśastapāda, also accepts the six categories which are dravya, guṇa, etc. He states that mokṣa (liberation) depends upon the right knowledge of these six categories.

General definition (in Buddhism)

[«previous (A) next»] — Abhava in Buddhism glossary

Source: Wisdom Library: Dharma-samgraha

Abhāva (अभाव) or abhāvaśūnyatā refers to “emptiness of non-existence” one of the “twenty emptinesses” (śūnyatā) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 41). The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., abhāva). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.

Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categories (buddhism)

Abhāva (अभाव, “non-existent”).—According to the Buddhists reality is always existence. This does not accept any negative or non-existent reality. Hence, abhāva is not reality. The Buddhists oppose the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika concept of non-existence. They argue that nonexistence is always determined by its positive counterpart. Again the negatum is to be regarded as the adjective of the corresponding negation. Hence, the object negated is the adjective or the qualifier of the negation. But the Buddhists point out that this is not possible for a non-existent (abhāva) object to qualify another object.

General definition (in Jainism)

[«previous (A) next»] — Abhava in Jainism glossary

Source: Shodhganga: A study of Nyāya-vaiśeṣika categories (jainism)

Abhāva (अभाव, “non-existent”).—According to some Jaina philosophers abhāva is cognized in time and space. If negation is bare non-existence then it cannot qualify space and time. On the other hand, if an object does not qualify space and time, it cannot be located on space and time. Prabhācandrasuri criticizes the view that negation has distinct reality. He holds that negation is nothing but the positive locus qualified by some unique property.

Meaning:
Lord! Should you not grant me wisdom and redeem me? O the rider on Garuda! Are you cross with me? Constantly chanting your name has made my mind pure and stainless. So can't you initiate me into the ultimate advaitic doctrine so that I may realize and experience the unity of the Supreme Paramaatmaa and the individual Jeevatma and identify myself with the entire creation of the fourteen worlds, human beings and celestials like Kinnaraas, Kimpurushaas, and sages like Naarada? O Supreme and Perfect One. O the Impeccable one! Bestower of eternal Bliss! The one prayed to by Tyagaraja!

7,30,12

 One of the basics of mathematics is knowing whether the number is even or odd, divisible by 2 and by the sum of its numbers .. But look at this strange number ..!

The number is *2520*. 

It  looks like a normal number but is infact a strange number  which has puzzled mathematics geniuses to this day .. !!

The strange thing is that it is divisible by numbers from 1 to 10, whether these numbers are odd or even !!

It is  impossible to find a number that does that !!

*Oberve the following*

2520 ÷ 1 = 2520

2520 ÷ 2 = 1260

2520 ÷ 3 = 840

2520 ÷ 4 = 630

2520 ÷ 5 = 504

2520 ÷ 6 = 420

2520 ÷ 7 = 360

2520 ÷ 8 = 315

2520 ÷ 9 = 280

2520 ÷ 10 = 252

Interesting point to observe is that the above number is product of 《7 x 30 x 12》 that may appear at first glance like random numbers but they are not. 

They are 

Days of the week 7 x days of the month 30 x months of the year 12.

 Yo mam Pasyati sarvatra sarvam ca may Pasyati

Tasyaham na pranasyami sa ca me na pranasyati

"He who sees Me in all things, and sees all things in Me,

To him I am never lost, and he is never lost to Me."

This verse highlights the essence of divine vision and spiritual unity. Here's a breakdown:

"Yo māṁ paśyati sarvatra" – One who sees Me (Krishna, or the Supreme) in all things.

"Sarvaṁ ca mayi paśyati" – And sees all things in Me.

This expresses the non-dual vision where a person sees God present in all beings and all beings as part of God.

"Tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśyāmi" – I am not lost to such a person.

"Sa ca me na praṇaśyati" – Nor is he lost to Me.

This means such a person is always in union with the Divine – there is mutual connection and unbroken awareness of the divine presence. It's the state of perfect yoga or unity.

A yogi who sees God everywhere and everything in God attains constant divine presence. This is the highest realization – no separation from the Divine, ever.

Sr living.
