All
Siddhars have written clearly in their works on four-subject viz.-Alchemy,
Medicine, Yoga and Philosophy; and they have all mentioned clearly of
their syllogism or propositions.
1. Alchemy
[Chemistry]
a) An alchemist
should necessarily be a spiritualist and so strong will benevolence, charity
and above all, purity of mind is essential.
b) He should
not have avarice for gold or money.
c) He should
be a born Alchemist, taking birth at a particular constellation according
to his former Karma.
d) The principles
of five elements on which the product of Alchemy is based in every way
identical with those comprised in the generation of a child. If any effect,
excess or other changes in the five elementary principles of the alchemical
process take place, it is a failure just like the abortion in a child.
2.
Medicine
a) A system
of medicine without understanding and without a true knowledge of natural
law, will remain forever a system of theories, mere opinion and of passive
observation and inactivity.
b) Man can
accomplish nothing through his own power but everything can accomplish,
through man by power of faith. This truly holds well in the cases of a
physician.
c) It is nature
that causes disease and it is again nature that effects their cure, and
therefore physician should know the process of nature.
d) Siddhars
fully realize that planetary evil effects and sins of previous birth known
as karma are the causes of diseases and other misfortunes.
e) According
to a patient's horoscope the movements and disposition; and so, it is
most important for a physician to consider the aspect of heavenly bodies
before stating the treatment of a patient.
3. Yoga
a) A yogi
can enter another's body and even the dead body, and make it get up and
even move about. He can also manufacture bodies and minds called created
bodies and created minds.
b) The shortest
and the safest way to complete the cycle of evolution in man is by yoga,
which cannot be practiced without having some one to guide and explain
what they mean; otherwise there will be break down in physical condition
and health.
c) Pure mind
itself plays the part of a Guru because when the spiritual practice is
increased, the power of comprehension is also increased and this enables
the higher mind to act as a guide does.
d) Man can
command over the elements and as such, after the course of nature, may
assume any form in the creation, dematerialize and rematerialise their
bodies.
e) Without
the energy or nerve force stored up in Kundalini the heart cannot beat
the lungs cannot breath, the blood cannot circulate and the various other
organs cannot perform their normal functions.
f) The Personal
Magnetism is the subte force developed in man, by whom people are influenced
and the nations are controlled and it is due to the strength of prnanas.
4.
Wisdom [Philosophy]
a) Man is
the only being in the creation, with all kinds of latent powers reaching
up to the level of God; and his only defect is that he does not care to
know that such powers are hidden in him, and he has to make them patent
by his preservence.
b) Perfection
in man's nature is barred by Maya and prevented from asking its proper
course; and when once, this bar is removed, Nature rushes with all its
potentialities and powers.
c) There are
in our body several supports to the soul for the existence and sustenance
of life and they are the five elements the six plexuses, the three nadies,
the three humors etc., constituting in all 96 Tatwas i.e., the constituent
principles in nature. |
