VERSE 7
Her hair is like a wriggling worm, becoming a figure-eight, and turning into monomarks.
The lower side becomes pure line, suggesting breasts or legs.
The positive function triumphs in the end.
It is like the weaving of a cane chair, it is made up of figure eights tied in the middle,
with the torsion holding it together.
.

slp3-p1-v7.

.



The conical breasts imply triumph, like the protuberances on an elephant's forehead.
She holds up the flag like Joan of Arc; on the flag is Shiva meditating,
then everything disappears.
A Brahmin appears performing agnihotram (the fire sacrifice).
The verse says "let it appear", implying magic and thaumaturgy.
Beauty is the value-factor, it gives tangibility to the Absolute.
It is something you can hold in your hand.
(c.f. certitude is "like holding a gooseberry in the fist").
Shiva should not wear a necktie; Shiva's snakes should bite and should not be respectable..
Shiva and Parama Shiva (supreme Shiva): Parama Shiva should be raised still more and the parameter should become very thin.



Shiva's glory is a mounting vertical parameter.
Parvati's glory is the horizontal Ganges, flowing for the benefit of humanity.
The horizontal Ganges ascends and emerges vertically from Shiva's forehead.
.

slp3-p2-v7


The jingles on the Devi´s belt:
The sound is on the Numerator
The bells are on the Denominator
The belt is the parameter.


The smoke from the agnihotram fire by torsion turns into the breasts feeding a baby, becomes undulating countryside - Parvati's horizontal glory.
Purushika has a boy-like figure like a majorette - She is proud of the flag.



SLP3 - P2
Show a Spanish dance with a tambourine, a scarf dance with the design coming out of the scarf.
One must give content to the Absolute, not talk about it ad nauseam on a Sunday morning.
Is the Absolute an old man?
Is it a female figure?
.

slp3-p2-v7a.


First appears a belt of jingle bells, then torsion verticalizes the line and turns it into heavy mother's breasts, then into the breasts of a young girl like the bumps of an elephant's forehead, then into a cloud, then lines of hair.


SLP3 - P3


The figure becomes a Yin-Yang sign,
Then there are drum-beats and a strobe light effect.
.

slp3-p3-v7


Then a circle, with bow and arrow, noose and goad.
The elephant is inner space, inside the circle.
The goad and noose are for restraining the elephant and urging it forward.
The horizontal figure-eight and the Yin-Yang sign become resolved into a range of mountains.


Bergson - a master tailor has to cut the suit properly, putting dots on the horizontal stuff on the table, from which he makes a vertical suit.
Pure action and love are vertical.
Shiva is called "Chandra Chuda " which means "moon-wearer"
- the Most High God has to be thin as a crescent moon.
The vision of the Absolute is the cancellation of the Most High God and Goddess through beauty.
Mother-worship is a more ontological, more tangible starting-point than a Father God.
Ontology itself is materialism, but beauty gives it value.
Contemporary philosophy is returning to hylozoism.
Heraclitus, when he states that you cannot enter the same river twice, is describing the flux of becoming or the élan vital.


SLP3 - P4


The galaxy is moving helicoidally towards Hercules.
Religion should develop from the basis of modern science.
The days of hallelujahs are over, the hippies are putting rude questions to the pope.
(The bearded god of the Sixtine Chapel is a woman.)
PUT THE BEAUTY OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND TOGETHER WITH THE SUNSET AND YOU GET GOD.
The torsion in this verse is like a moebius strip.
.

-slp3-p4-v7

.


A bitch rolling on its back to feed puppies produces a mystical feeling.
Every height is a value.
The feeling of beauty, to be absolute, must contain an "Oh!" or an "Ah!".


Horizontality is gleaming fish jumping on a misty river at sunrise.
The sheen of the river is a thin film separating concepts from percepts.
The jumping fish are the vitality of horizontality - sex, etc.


SLP3 - P5


Contrast a truck taking stones to a radio sending a message.
THE TRUCK IS HORIZONTAL - TRANSPORTATION
THE RADIO IS VERTICAL - TRANSMISSION


A child refusing to go to a stranger's hands
is both horizontal and vertical - its hesitation is a figure-eight.


A frightened deer forgetting to eat grass and running away is horizontal
- the neck is a sinus curve.


A girl hesitating to be made love to, consenting and refusing at the same time, makes a sinus curve, a figure-eight.


SLP3 - P5


EXAMPLES OF STRUCTURE


Occasionalism - a butterfly on a trumpet-like flower.
Complementarity - dishevelled women pursue an old man blessed with the Devi's side-glance.
Reciprocity - an old professor with an admiring young wife - the old butler of a judge - loyalty, because they shine by reflection.
- villagers have no pomp but are glad of the king's horses and chariots - Kalidasa
- in Kalidasa's Shakuntala the fisherman caught with the ring is the chief of the fishermen, but admits the policeman as his superior - he has no feeling of rivalry and is willing to submit.


Reciprocity - Shakuntala's beautiful body is clothed in rough cloth.

THERE ARE FOUR WOMEN IN VERSE 7


1) Feeding a baby
2) Elephant bumps
3) Virtuality
4) Majorette


SEE THOMAS DE QUINCEY IN HIS "CONFESSIONS OF AN OPIUM-EATER":
THERE ARE FOUR MOTHERS:
1) Mater Dolorosa weeping in hospitals
2) One who kicks open doors and makes you mad
3) One who frequents burial places
4)


REVERSIBLE EQUATIONS:
When you say something about God, you are also saying it about yourself.
1. Shakuntala refuses to take a flower - she says she will not disturb the flower's blossoming, as she is also getting married herself.
2. Two babies are biting an apple - one takes a bite and passes it, the other bites too much - the first one cries - they are only happy when they bite equally.
3. A mother with a dead child in church passes a mother with a baptised baby - both cry. (Victor Hugo)

Cancellation.
In Kalidasa's Ritu Samhara - a frog jumps out of a summer pond and takes refuge under the shade of a cobra's hood.
This is a cancellation of their two sufferings from the heat.

Darsana Mala - Chapter 6- Karma
Karma means "function"
Dewey is an instrumentalist or functionalist.
He claims Kant was an idealist or conceptualist.
Dewey says that what we DO is the important thing - this is instrumentalism.

Krishna as the servant of Arjuna.
A boy Vidyarthi (wisdom-seeker) in rags is worshipped by the Devi.

Pythagoras' theorem has two proofs: - on the blackboard
- or by cutting out triangles and measuring them.


There is Para Brahman and Apara Brahman. (the transcendent and immanent Absolute)
Where was the law of the conservation of energy discovered?
Not in the laboratory.
Thus this first and boldest statement is axiomatic.
All mathematics is based on axioms.
The Michelson- Morley experiment is highly important, but it failed.
However it gave a frame of reference.
It depends on a right angle: here is the structure already.


A right angle triangle is in the domain of Pythagorean geometry.
A non-right angle triangle is in the domain of trigonometry.


SAUNDARYA LAHARI


VERSE 7
A banana tree is pulled up by an elephant: there is an equilibrium between an ontologically stable banana tree and the elephant's trunk.
One is smooth and the other rough-skinned.
The bumps on the elephant are on the right side (?).
Purushika stands on the elephant's head, and thus gains numerator status.
A mid-ocean island means one-pointed, exclusive meditation.

A couch of Shiva-form.
Name is hypostatic, form is hierophantic.
The cushion is Shiva himself.

The perfume of Kadamba trees.


At the horizontal limits we have a nectar ocean.

VERSE 9
Beauty is an Absolute value.
Abstract and generalise and you will get the ultimate adorable Absolute.
The word "Absolute" has no fixed content, it varies with each discipline
- it is also known as a constant or a universal.
Anything that persists unvaried through time and space is the Absolute.
Taking something existent as an idol - this is idolatry.
They make an idol both subsistent and existent.


How to give a tangible content to the Absolute so that it is acceptable to all?
Sankara: what we adore is not an object
- it is a valuable idea, sufficiently real and tangible.
This idea is Beauty, the tangible form of which is colour.
Beauty is both outside and inside the mind.


Shiva is not sufficiently mixed up in the phenomenal world - he has no function.
Shakti is manifested force.
Wherever vegetation is luxuriant, the Mother Principle is exalted.
The Advaitin fuses the two together.
Sankara represents the cult of Shakti in its revised and revalued form.

Vishnu borrows the beauty of the Absolute Goddess, he even attracts Shiva.
Eros tries to defeat Shiva with arrows.
Rati's admiration gives him the light of Absolute Beauty.
Eros depends on occasionalism - the mountain breeze, the flowery season.

VERSE 7 uses both algebraic and geometric language.
This is a cybernetically conceived version of the Absolute.
First there is the jingle of bells on Her belt.
It begins on the conceptual side with sound,
then four compartments develop around the sound.


The elephant is a cloud, it is space, and it is Numerator.
The breasts originate in the Numerator - this is not vulgar or one-sided eroticism.
She is slim of waist - it has a mathematical status.
At the O point there is nothing, the O point is absent, it is not real,
and it is a mathematical abstraction.
.

slp3-p21-v7




Eros is below the navel O point, above he is burned by Shiva - morality, austerity.

Siddhis (psychic powers) are psycho-physical dynamisms. They are the like plastic spoons etc. in soap-powder packets. Free gifts of very little value.
The fire of doom is the Omega point.
The good of all is existential.
The general good is an idea.

EDITORIAL NOTE
The following appears to be notes on Ethics dictated by the Guru.


ETHICS




NARAYANA GURU = Shastra structure in Atmopadesa Satakam
(Verse 22)


BHAGAVAD GITA = "Do as you will, having learnt this"
The structure is sufficient, the content of morality is of no importance to the neutral position.
KARL MARX = there is confusion due to the antithesis of ends and means.
SANKARA = he uses syllogistic logic in his earlier work, later dialectics.
The Saundarya Lahari is the Shastra (authoritative text) of structure.


KALIDASA - "Ya cha hotri..." (introduction to Shakuntala, structural)


Dharma is a pattern of behaviour - see the "Viveka Chudamani"


BERGSON = An instrumentalist .
Four kinds of cause and effect :
BANG
SPRING
BILLIARD BALL
GRAMOPHONE NEEDLE

ETHICS


(DEFINITION: " The study and evaluation of human conduct in the light of moral principles" - Columbia Encyclopaedia, 1950.
Ethics may be defined as the study of what is right or good in conduct."
- Manual of Ethics, Mackenzie, 1929.
Aristotle writes of "ta ithika" from "ithos" meaning "character".
This is related to "ethos" - custom or habit, in Latin "mores".
Thus it is the study of the customs or habits of men and their evaluation as "right" or "good".
"Right" is related to Latin "rectus" - straight or according to rule ("regula").
A rule, however, refers to some end to be achieved: likewise "good" is that which is valuable to some end.


SLP3 - P56


A good tool is one which serves its purpose adequately.
But Ethics is concerned with man's actions in general and the definition of goodness in this context must depend, not upon any particular end to be attained, but upon the end or purpose to which man's existence is to be directed.
Similarly the good of all is the good of each individual, which is or can be exclusive of that of another individual, or of the general good.
Bergson - river, swallow, boat, meditating .
"Good" is also used to mean not that which is a means to an end, but an end in itself.
Absolute Good or the "summum bonum" is good for itself, in itself, by itself , through itself.


SLP3 - P57


Epistemology is the study of the sources of valid knowledge.
NATARAJA GURU - "The study of the history of Ethics is the study of mistakes."


SLP3 - P58


DEFINITIONS
"Ethics is the study and evaluation of human conduct in the light of moral principle"
Thus Ethics is a judgement of the value of actions.
This judgement consists of defining actions as good or wrong (not good).
Goodness is that which, in anything, is appropriate to its end or purpose.
We may distinguish a particular good or a general good.
A spade is a good spade if it accomplishes its task: digging.


SOCIAL ETHICS - homeostasis, something better than something worse.
Goodness is what is not worse.
Absolute Goodness is God.
In Social Ethics we see that whatever the starting point, methodology, etc.,
the notion of Good is always the preservation of the status quo.


SLP3 - P60


1) Ethics is the study and evaluation of human conduct in the light of moral principles, thus it is a value judgement.
Two goods - distinguish wisdom and justice.
A) A normative notion of the Absolute must be the frame of reference.
B) It must accord with an Integrated Science of the Absolute.
C) There are two distinct ethical theories:
1) The Ethics of the market place.
2) Vertical Ethics


These two must be brought together.
There is a danger of a one-sided approach.


2) Sanskrit rules for beginning a book:
1) Purpose of work
2) Scope
3) Anterior position
4) Shastras
5) Methodology and epistemology


3) Ethics viewed psychologically
in different societies
in the great religions
in philosophy


The teacher draws us by the categorical imperative, a priori - see Kant.
The source of the a priori is God, Tao, Justice, the Absolute etc.
The categorical imperative is Absolute.
Where is the Absolute in each philosophy?


There is a hiatus in Kant's reasoning - he arrives at the Categorical Imperative from social considerations, but says the moral law is a priori.

"The history of ethics is the history of views that are more or less erroneous" MacKenzie op.cit. p.8.


SLP3 - P62


Ethics as understood in academic circles and in unitive understanding.
The basis of Ethics is more or less "love thy neighbour as thyself", see Atmopadesa Satakam, V.22.
All good conduct must stem from love of others
Condemn (illegible -simla?giula?) on Ethics.


Conclusion - Kalidasa - encludes Ethics, Aesthetics, Economics.
These cannot be separated.
The good = the beautiful.
Ethics = be good
= what a father and mother tell their children
= give and take, love thy neighbour as thyself.


The norm is the Absolute.
Definition of Ethics -good to whom? Unilateral?
