![]() ![]() ![]() It is the highest form of self-possession, in the sense of collecting all the faculties of the constitution towards reaching union or quasi-union, long or short in time as the case may be, with the divine-spiritual. Hence, intense contemplation or profound meditation, with the consciousness directed to the spiritual. (Sanskrit) A compound word formed of sam, meaning "with" or "together" a, meaning "towards" and the verbal root dha, signifying "to place," or "to bring" hence samadhi, meaning "to direct towards," generally signifies to combine the faculties of the mind with a direction towards an object. Blavatsky puts it, is the generalized sakti of universal nature in so far as our solar system is concerned. As substance and energy, or force and matter, are fundamentally one, as modern science in its researches has begun to discover, it becomes apparent that even these saktis or sheaths or veils are themselves energic to lower spheres or realms through which they themselves work. The saktis of nature are really the veils, or sheaths, or vehicular carriers, through which work the inner and ever-active energies. These anthropomorphic definitions are unfortunate, because misleading. In popular Hinduism the various saktis are the wives or consorts of the gods, in other words, the energies or active powers of the deities represented as feminine influences or energies. Sakti in general may be described as universal energy, and is, as it were, the feminine aspect of fohat. (Sanskrit) A term which may be briefly defined to mean one of what in modern Occultism are called the seven forces of nature, of which six are manifest and the seventh unmanifest, or only partly manifest. Blavatsky in her posthumous Glossary speaks of the Sabda-Brahman as "Ethereal Vibrations diffused throughout Space." This term is closely connected in meaning with the teaching concerning daiviprakriti. SabdaBrahman, therefore, may be rendered as the active unmanifest Logos of the solar system, and hence as the soul of Brahman expressing itself through its akasic veils as the divine Logos, or Word or Sound. (Sanskrit) A phrase literally signifying "Word-Brahman" - a curious analogy with the archaic Greek mystical teaching concerning the Logos.
