SAMADHI PAD SUTRA-9

                     SHABDA DYANANUPATI VASTU SHUNYO VIKALPAH

THE VIKALPA MEANS THERE ARE WORDS, BUT NO REALITY,ONLY IMAGINATION

The nest one that is explained here is called VIKALPA.When one says a word , it conveys a meaning. So if I say a word 'DOG' ,it tells me exactly what it means . So the words explain the meaning. But sometimes when we say certain thing , it conveys the meaning, but it is not real .If I would say 'ICECOLD SUN'.It does convey the meaning. But there is no cold sun. So even though words have meaning, they do not convey any real knowledge.Similar examples can be given, 'horn of a rabbit',would be an another example..So why would we use these kinds of words? We tend to use them sometimes to prove a point If one wants to prove that in case of a triangle, sum of two sides is greater than the third side . So we suppose that the sum is less than the third side or it is same . And then disprove it and that prove our original point.This is also used to find out what is soul. This type of thinking to find out certain things that we can't what they exactly are , we suppose that they are something different than what they are and then disprove it. This will become more clear when we talk about the PURUSHA .
