Exploring the Three Dimensions of Knowledge: Physical, Astral and Spiritual
"The dimension of knowledge is vast and multifaceted, encompassing everything from the physical sciences to the spiritual realm. In education, knowledge and character are often divided into two separate categories, but true enlightenment requires a comprehensive understanding that unifies morals and knowledge into a single framework. According to Hinduism's Sankhya theory, knowledge exists in three dimensions: physical, astral, and spiritual, and each is governed by its own set of laws and principles. In this blog post, we will delve into the complexities of the dimension of knowledge and investigate the various modes of understanding our surroundings. We will examine the various faculties and practices required to achieve a true and holistic understanding of existence, from the physical truths that govern our daily lives to the subtler realms of the astral and spiritual dimensions. Understanding the dimension of knowledge is critical for personal growth and development, whether you are a student or a lifelong learner."
For these various types of knowledge, several faculties have been discovered. Physical science is a branch of knowledge that is discernible to our five senses and pertains to the manifest and inert world of matter and energy. The ability of the mind and intellect, which is another faculty, falls under the purview of philosophy. The realm of spirituality, which the mind and intellect are unable to enter, possesses the ultimate faculty. The understanding of something by the senses is referred to as sense-knowledge, while the understanding by the mind and intellect is referred to as inference by rational reasoning. The ultimate category of knowledge is that of the spiritual world, and only the practise of yoga, whose primary component is meditation, makes it possible to attain this knowledge.
As a result, knowledge can only be considered full when it tends to embrace its total qualities. The risk of fragmented information frequently renders us lost travellers and makes our pursuit of the truth a lonesome wild goose chase. "Samadhi" is a term used in yoga philosophy. The attainment of this sophisticated and detailed level of super consciousness, which it is, can make us spiritual scientists. The illustrious examples of such individuals are the Vedic saints and seers. Scripture refers to the wisdom obtained via "Samadhi" that has been written down in a language that is accessible to everyone (shastra).
A future student must therefore neither accept nor reject anything out of the blue. Don't let anyone's ego hurt a student who is trying to succeed. He ought to be patient, educate himself, and train himself. The mandate should only be accepted after that. The two most crucial traits a learner should imbue in themselves are tolerance and perseverance.
