Progress And Vikas And Rise of Awareness

It takes effort to rise up the ladder ELSE ease to descend the ladder - Note for future

भूमिरापोऽनलो वायु: खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च |
अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा || 7.4||

अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम् |
जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् || 7.5 ||

|| श्रीमद भगवद गीता ||

Translation:

   BG 7.4: Earth, water, fire, air, 

space-sound, light (ElectroMagneticWaves),

( perception-mind-manas, 

intellect-mind-buddhi, 

and ego-mind-ahamkaar-identity ), 

(the sixth sense - mind sense) — 

these are eight components of my material energy,

( unified quantum field energy 

whose physical attributes are 

frequency, speed, amplitude  )

This is the maya śhakti.

BG 7.5: Such is my inferior energy. 

But beyond it, O mighty-armed Arjun, 

I have a superior energy. 

This is the jīva śhakti 

( consciousness or awareness energy 

which is beyond all physical attributes ), 

which comprises the embodied souls 

and which are the basis of life in this world.
