TheDifferentiationofthesubject.
AboutMe
VishnuShankar
Motion is the result of differentiation of the subject. The Follow 8
differentiation of the subject is always triggered by a Vritti. There are

millionsofVrittiswhichbringaboutthedifferentiationofthesubject.For profile
example, a word is a Vritti, which brings about the differentiation of the
subject. As soon a word is uttered, differentiation of the subject takes
place,whichinturntriggersamotion.Themotionthensetsforthaseries
of events culminating in misery. And that is the reason we find why the
men of great insight always prefer absolute silence. Because, as soon as
thesilenceisbroken,themotionsetsforth,culminatinginsuffering.

ThewordisaVritti,alwaysassociatedwithanobject.Thereisno
object in the universe without a corresponding word, and it is the word
whichbringsthesubjecttothelevelofanobject.Suchisthepowerofthe
word that the world and its objects emanate from it. The highest
meditation is nothing but the undifferentiated subject.
Absolute silence is only possible in the highest meditation. In
the highest meditation, there is a complete absence of the
objectsanditscorrespondingVrittis.Liberationisnothingbut
thestateofabidingintheundifferentiatedsubjectforever,and
the liberation process consists in the elimination of Vrittis
whichdifferentiatesthesubject.

in the child. The subject of the child is then superimposed by the Ice
cream.TheIfacultyofthechildsuperimposesthecharacteristicsofthe
subject on the object. The I = Subject then becomes I = Ice
cream.Thecharacteristicsofpermanence,peace,andjoyare
then superimposed on an Ice cream. The child relishes the Ice
cream but is not satisfied because it could not find permanence in it.

ThePhilosophicalQuestions:
For a young man, the objects of the world are different. The
objects are his loved ones. From the childhood, the man had practiced
superimpositionofthequalitiesofthesubjectontheobject.Butnatureis
willing to teach a lesson. As soon as an object is removed by
nature,manfeelsthathehaslostcompletely.Hefeelsthathe
haslostthesubjectitselfbecauseofthefalseidentification.The
manisthenovercomebyweaknessandcannotstandonhisown.Hefeels
the loss of identity. In some cases, man is unable to bear the loss of
subjectandendsuphislife.
Thelossofobjectsalsotriggersmanyphilosophical
questions in man. The man then asks why injustice is meted out to
him.Whyithappenedtomealone?Whydoesn'tGodhelpme?WhoamI?

means.
