4343539The Metaphysics of Meditationhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-metaphysics-of-meditation-9781350412453/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4025066/image.jpg?v=638414195417230000664737MXNBloomsbury PublishingInStock/Ebooks/In this book Stephen Phillips focuses on one of the most important poems about meditation in world literature, as understood by two of the greatest philosophers of India, one classical, one modern. Sankaras commentaries on the Upanisads are a core of the Vedanta tradition and Aurobindo is a towering figure of 20th-century Hindu thought. This is the first time their approaches have been studied together.The Isa (c. 500 BCE) an Upanisad belongs to a genre of adhyatmika learning-concerning self and consciousness-in early Indian literature. According to the Ancient Indian tradition of yoga, meditation is antithetical to willful bodily and mental action. Breathing is all you do. In the conception of the Isa Upanisad,we are told that the best that comes from meditation is because of what the Lord is. In Sankaras interpretation it comes to block out the little you, whereas according to Aurobindo it comes as a divine connection, an occult Conscious Force belonging to truer part of oneself, atman, and an opening to that selfs native energy.Framed around Aurobindos translation of each of the Isas eighteen verses, along with a translation of each verse, Phillips follows a different reading of Sankara as laid out in his commentary. All this is done against the backdrop of modern scholarship. Convergences and divergences of these streams are the focus throughout. Appendix A presents the Upanisad with the two readings side by side.This book traces a worldview and consonant yoga teaching common to two authors who are typically taken to be oceans apart, not only chronologically but in intellectual stance. Addressing a huge gap in the contemporary literature on meditation in the Hindu traditions, Phillips presents a compelling new way of thinking about meditation in the Advaita Vedanta philosophy and Upanisad....4283365The Metaphysics of Meditation664737https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-metaphysics-of-meditation-9781350412453/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4025066/image.jpg?v=638414195417230000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781350412453_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_In this book Stephen Phillips focuses on one of the most important poems about meditation in world literature, as understood by two of the greatest philosophers of India, one classical, one modern.
