Symbolism In Vedas
The incomprehensible made Simple to understand :
We have discussed earlier that Rishi's having well researched on the sense organs, thoughts, Mind and intellect, stood spellbound at the immense potentialities in the field of Awareness. Among those very few Rishi's were able to swim from the river of Awareness into the Ocean of Consciousness. This is Self Realization or Enlightenment.
If thoughts are water droplets, then Mind is a Spring-water, and intellect is the flowing stream joining a mighty river of Awareness, which finally merges into the Ocean Of Consciousness.
The Rishi's called this Ocean of Consciousness as Brahman in Sanskrit. The river of Awareness has a structure to define but how could one articulate about the Ocean of Consciousness? Thus the Rishi's used the language of Symbolism.
When the Rishi's themselves find short of words to describe Consciousness, how could the layman string it into words? It is like a deep sea diver describing Ocean to a villager who had never seen more than well-water. He could show a bottle of sea water to the villager and if the villager was an Egoistic person not believing in the Existence of Ocean, would spit out the salty water of the Ocean water branding it as "tasteless-brine water".
This led the Rishi's to develop Symbolic Images of this Ocean of Consciousness and the river of Awareness to well-water layman. This became the fundamental basis to put their research findings into Vedic literature. It is not a single Rishi who wrote these Vedic texts. Over ages the knowledge had been accrued similar to Modern Scientific Research.
The language style of modern scientists is different from how they convey among their peers than with the layman. Among peers they use technical words ,but for the Public they use pictures and symbols and stories to explain.
Similarly Rishi's abstract findings are technical words which they use to convey among their peers. For layman they used Puranas or Mythology to reach the public. In the next few pages we will see how they beautifully conveyed the message of Consciousness, Awareness, Intellect, Mind, sense organs and many more aspects of the mind of Individuality, Ego, different negative and positive thoughts. All these became human characters. The character's are fictional but what they implied is not fiction, it is real that we experience in every day to day life.

Three Philosophical views
The three levels of body mind and Consciousness are these three levels. The three levels however cannot be understood as supremacy of one over the other. The three are only the ways of evolutionary understanding.
A classical physicist says it is a solid mass under the laws of gravity etc. He considers the stone is different from a human body.
- A quantum physicist says it is quantum pack of energy. He considers both the stone and body are quantum packs of energy, but still there is slight difference.
-
A dvaitic is like the classical physicists who says the paramatman is different from the jiva.
A vishist is like the quantum physicist, who says the paramathan and the jiva are same but slight difference.
A advaitin is one who says there is no difference and the difference is only maya (which means not there but sees only at the gross level and not at the ultimate level).
Adishankara, Sri Ramanuja and Sri Madhavacharya have done independent analysis of the ancient texts and formulated stunning philosophical formulations. Shankars’s ‘Advaita’ which unifies God and Man, Ramanuja’s, “Vishista-Advaita” which makes existence a journey towards unification and Madhacharya’s ‘Dwaita’ which separates the Creator from the created.
Carvaka philosophy
Carvaka (Cārvāka) is a system of Indian philosophy that assumed various forms of philosophical skepticism and religious indifference.[1] It is also known as Lokāyata. It is named after its founder, Cārvāka, author of the Bārhaspatya-sūtras.[2]
In overviews of Indian Philosophy, Carvaka is classified as a "heterodox" (nāstika) system, the same classifcation as is given to Buddhism and Jainism.[3][4] It is characterized as a materialistic and atheistic school of thought. While this branch of Indian philosophy is not considered to be part of the six orthodox schools of Hinduism, it is noteworthy as evidence of a materialistic movement within Hinduism.[5]
It is important to understand the difference between science, religion, atheism and spiritual at this juncture.

Shree Kapila Acharya
The Father of Patterns
He introduced patterns (five-pattern) to explain the Cosmic secrets to the highest intellectuals to the simple layman and a child. He is the founder of the first School for learning in Kashi, Vaaranasi, India.
Modern scientific method is a logical approach in solving problems by observing and collecting data, formulating hypothesis, testing hypothesis and formulating theories that are supported by data. Scientists then attempt to find relationships and patterns from the data (Reference- Modern Chemistry- by Raymond E. Davis , Regina Frey, Mickey Sarquis, Jerry L. Sarquis, Holt, Renehart, Winston Publisher-2006.ISBN- 0-03-073546-7 (page 29-30)
Kapilacharya like ancient Rishis used a different approach of not relying on the senses collected data. This is the greatest contribution of mankind because, the sensorial data is very biased in its measurements and heance we see scientific theories disproved when sophisticated and subtler means of collecting data are discovered. This is not the problem of the ancient Indian scientific approach (Universal Selftual Pattern - 2015).
His Samkya method of viewing (Darshana) and understanding Vedic supreme knowledge, was used by Sree-Krishna in Bhagavad Gita and other highest Conscious people. Overtime, this five-pattern method was expanded into Ashtanga-Yoga by Sage Patanjali. Again after many years, this great knowledge was simplified into other views like Nyaya, Vaiseshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta.
Unfortunately, we now have the Vedic knowledge completely diluted and mis interpreted from the Samkhya method. Uni5 is a renewal of understanding this knolwedge for living a peaceful and meaningful and happy life.
Kapila- Acharya- is one of the greatest teachers of Bhaarath. He gave to Bhaarath, the pattern of energy evolution, the Pancha Bhootas.
He gave this pattern based teaching to efficiently teach complexity of the life. His mother Devahuti was his first student. He taught the Unifying pattern first to his mother, which latter called as Samkhya (to unify or integrate) Philosophy. The teaching was given when his mother expressed inspite of all material comforts, she still feels incomplete in life.
The Samkhya school is wrongly considered as dualistic and atheistic. It is called as dualistic because it differentiates Consciousness from Energy. It is atheistic because he denies the existance of a personal God.
After that he established the first Gurukula school system of teaching the patterns in five years from age of 8 to 13. This continued as a the teacher-student-heritage (Guru-Shishya parampara).
Buddhist sources present Kapila as a well-known philosopher whose students built the city of Kapilavastu, according to one tradition the birthplace of the Buddha. Birth place of Kapilacharya is Pat Jhelda.Rarh.

Sources - Wikipedia
The Samkhya system is an exponent of an evolutionary theory of matter beginning with primordial Energy. In evolution, (Functional) Prakriti is transformed and differentiated into multiplicity of forms or objects.
Evolution culminates in dissolution. In dissolution the physical existence of all the worldly objects returns to Prakriti, the undifferentiated, primordial Energy. This is the cycle of evolution and dissolution, which is very similar to the modern Science.
The twenty-four constituents
Samkhya theorizes that Prakriti is the source of the perceived world of creation. It is pluoripotent that evolves itself successively into twenty four tattvas or principles. The evolution itself is possible because Prakriti is self-driven by ints own inherent pressure or nature (Gunas) :–
- Sattva – a quality of primordial un-differentiated potential to dynamically flow into vairety. This is symbolized as white.
- Rajas – a quality of dynamic activity, symbolized as red;
- Tamas – a quality of rest (lethargy) which is totally densed Energy and so symbolized as black.
