RHUTAMBHARA TATRA PRADNYA
THEN THE INTELLECT IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS.
This sutra is continuation of the previous ones. We are told that once we achieve certain levels of the Samadhi , our intellect is 'CLEAR' or 'PURE' or ONE WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS. When one tries to translate the Sanskrit in to English, we have some difficulty. When we talk about the intelligence, as the equal to the Sanskrit word of PRADNYA, it does not do the justice. The intellect is related to our previous experience. So if I have never seen Aeroplane , when I see one I would have no idea as to what is . The person who has seen the aeroplane, will 'know ' right away that it is an aeroplane . So in our conventional way of thinking, one who knows that it is aeroplane, is more intelligent than the one who does not. So more the experience, more intellect. There is no place for the 'Intuition'.When we are talking about the intellect getting PURE or Clear, we are not talking about experience related(or taught by experience)intellect. There is NO DOUBT or he has PURE knowledge.He knows the Reality and has the Intuition.
The external appearance can be deceptive.We may find no difference in the fake Diamond and Real Diamond . But the expert , with his examination can tell the difference. So he will have to use some special techniques and use his experience to differentiate the real from fake diamonds. But this is still very superficial. What about the charcoal and the diamond? Chemically they are smiler but appearance is very different. So with the intuition one can get more knowledge at a subtler level. This will start happening , when one has perfected these levels of the SAMADHI. THIS IS CALLED THE RHITHAMBHARA PRADNYA.
