\nT<\/b>here is no need to put "the"
\nbefore "quality"<\/span> – in
\nEng<\/span>lish that would alter the
\nsense. Matter is not regarded in this passage as a quality of being perceived by
\nsense; I don’t think that would have any meaning. It is regarded as a result of
\na certain power and action of consciousness which presents forms of itself to
\nsense perception and it is this quality of sense perceivedness, so to speak,
\nthat gives them the appearance of Matter, i.e. of a certain kind of
\nsubstantiality inherent in themselves – but in fact they are not self-existent
\nsubstantial objects but forms of consciousness. The point is that there is no
\nsuch thing as the self-existent Matter posited by nineteenth centuryScience.<\/span>    <\/i><\/p>\n

\nC<\/b>hitta is ordinarily used for the mental
\nconsciousness in general, thought, feeling, etc. taken together with a stress
\nnow on one side or another, sometimes on the feelings as in cittapramathi, <\/i>sometimes
\non the thought-mind – that is why I translated it on p. 414 (maccittah) <\/i>"heart
\nand mind" in its wider sense. Chetas can be used in the same way, but it
\nhas a different shade of sense, properly speaking, and can include also the
\nmovements of the soul, covering the whole consciousness even; on page 422 I take
\nit in its most general sense. The translation is not meant to be literal but to
\nrender the thought in the line in its fullness. Adhyatmacetasa <\/i>practically
\namounts to what in English we would describe as a spiritual consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(" throw our arms around")<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a figure meaning to comprehend in our consciousness with love and
\nAnanda.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Page <\/i>421, lines <\/i>21, 23, 25.<\/p>\n

\n     <\/span>Nature here means the parts of Prakriti in the human being: as it is the
\ncondition of the Prakriti that changes with shifting of the Gunas and it is this
\ncondition of the Prakriti that will become illumined by the transformation of sattva
\n<\/i>into jyoti.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n(lokasangraharthaya<\/i><\/span> <\/i>–<\/span>
\nDoes this mean present order?)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n


\n     <\/span>No. It is in a
\nmore general sense the maintenance of the world order which may be a developing,
\nnot necessarily a stationary one, an order spiritual, moral etc. and not merely
\na social order.<\/span><\/p>\n
