The triune Godhead - Immanence, Transcendence & Cosmicity

All mystics spoke of the Absolute Self as immament, transcendent and cosmic. This is the symbolism behind the Chritian trinity of Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, the Vedic Trinity of Aum, Tat, Sat & the Sephiroth trinity of the Kabbalah.

All knowledge is trinitarian - " Thraigunya Vishaya Veda ". In Freud, Id, Ego and Superego, in Vedanta, satwa, rajas, thamas and in Ayurveda Vata, Pitta and Kapha. This has been referred to as the threefold mode of cosmic existence.

And what is the relationship between Wisdom and Love ? The highest wisdom is Love!

"Love is the inevitable consummation of knowledge" remarked Dante.

" To Love, Almighty Love is given,
All things to form and all to bear " - Goethe


How charming is divine philosophy !
Not shabby or crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
But is as musical as is Appollo's lute !

Why Intellecutal Love !

Everything in this Universe is made of the One Universal Substance, which is Absolute Unity.


O Lord, Me as Thy servant will understand that
Thou Art in All as Friend, foe and men !
The only qualities which I can boast to have
Is Love Divine & Non-attachment to the mundane
Qualities divinely important and which will
Lead to thy Principle which is Self Absolute !

( Translation of one of the verses of the great Poet Melpathur's master poem , the Narayaneeyam or Tale of the Lord ).
