In the last Sutra there was mention that one gets knowledge of smallest of the small the Param Anu, (smaller than the Atom) which is at physical level.Even though we can not see it with naked eye,we can see it with specialised microscope.We can also 'know'the biggest of all and not in the physical world, but at much higher level.So I thought about writing small one about The Mahat Tatwa.
In the Geeta or as per other scriptures, there are 24 elementary principles that go in to action to start the beginning of the Universe. The SPIRIT has no qualities and no Desires . So it can't do anything . The Nature or the Prakruti has no ability to do anything on it's own. It has the qualities and the desires , but without the Spirit, or the PURUSHA it can not do anything. But once the Purusha comes in picture or there is a union of the spirit and nature then the nature starts it's "play".and the universe as we know comes in picture. The 24 principles are 1)Prakruti ,2)Mahat Tatwa ,which is also called CHITTA,(vaguely can be said as mind stuff) From this CHITTA comes the Buddhi or intellect.3)This leads to the AHANKAR, (realisation that one is separate from other) 4)the MIND then the 5 Senses and 5 organs of the Action ,5 Mahabhuta or Elements --Space , Air/gas, Energy, water or liquid and the earth or solids.So now remaining 5 are Tanmatras the abstract qualities of the matter.The last 5 at times can be changed to 5 PRANAS.
This is what is thought by the SANKHYA YOGA.(SANKHYA means 'counting or numbers).
So now one can see that MAHAT TATWA is the ORIGIN of almost every thing.So with the meditation we can know this MAHAT TATWA.
