Introduction to the Basic Writings of Sri Ramchandra
condition in the grossest sensible matter which we meet with. In a serious mystical sense one can say that all this is manas or thought, and all levels of being or manifestation are verily thought or manas.
For outer vision the manifestations appear to be disunited fragments but for the spiritual vision they are all operating from the original impulsion of Manas which keeps their organisation and organic unity in a multi - phasic unity. Separateness is for the purposes of deeper unification in terms of the organic multi phasic unity.
The problem of man may be posed in two ways. It may be considered by some that they should realise the fullest dimensions and possibilities of the manifestation and integration. This ‘creative advance’ is to them adventurous and pleasure - granting and heroic. The whole process is leading up to external manifestation of an infinite inwardness in the Primal Ground or Primeval Motion (Ksobh). But this creative advance and pleasure consequent on that may turn out dialectically into pain and bondage and misery and an unending prison-house of boredom if the connection with the Centre or Life Force is somehow attenuated or snapped or forgotten. When thought becomes a thing and nothing more than this it is the end of all peace. This may be play of doom not the play of liberation. Though it appears as a pessimistic play or tragic drama of lila, it is true.
