A Thought ago

A thought ago i was there, so i think i should be, it is this a-thought-ago's continuity of existence that bestows upon me the being, that i have been and have been having

    Chinmay: ज़रूर! याला पार्श्वभूमी आहे सार्त्र आणि Existential Philosophy ची!

    me: okk..,.

    Chinmay: मूळ कल्पना अशी होती की (१६ वे शतक) I think therefore I am

    me: ok

    Chinmay: याला आव्हान देण्यात आलं की आधी असावं लागतं मग विचार करता येतो. ज़री अस्तित्वात असण्याची ज़ाणीव विचाराने होत असली तरी

    me: ok

    correct

    Chinmay: म्हणजे आधी सत्‌ असते मग सत्त्व, आधी सत्त्व आणि मग सत्‌ हे सर्वथा असंभव आहे!
    6:01 PM
    me: agreed

    Chinmay: सत्‌= existence, सत्त्व = एस्सेन्चे

    सत्त्व =essence

    me: ok
    6:02 PM
    Chinmay: so Existence precedes essence, and essence follows existence

    me: ok
    6:03 PM
    Chinmay: म्हणजे कालातील क्षणमय अस्तित्वांची मालिका मला सत्त्व देते, माझ्यात पूर्वस्थित सत्त्व असे काही नसते.

    me: kaalateet ani kshanamaya
    6:04 PM
    he donhi ekach veli kasa kay

    Chinmay: काळातील not कालातीत
    6:05 PM
    me: ok

    correct

    haan

    now i understand

    Chinmay: सत्परं सत्त्वं नान्यथा (=सत्त्वपरं सत्‌ न)
    6:06 PM
    me: आम्

    यतो हि

    सत: इदं - सत्त्वम्
    6:08 PM
    सत्त्व is some thing that is felt in सत्

    Chinmay: अतीते आसम्‌ इत्यादिज्ञानेन सतः कालगतं ज्ञानं भवति, तदेव सत्त्वं जनयति। भूतज्ञानभिन्नं नान्यत्‌ सत्त्वं वर्तमानस्य।

    me: ok
    6:09 PM
    Chinmay: true "सत्त्व is some thing that is felt in सत्"...it is its continuity in time that makes सत्त्व realizable

    me: ok
    6:10 PM
    correct

    Chinmay: सत्‌ in a present moment means nothing if it does not acknowledge its' continuity in past
    6:11 PM
    me: ok

    Chinmay: Be ware this is नास्तिक!

    me: ok
    6:12 PM
    Chinmay: for आस्तिकs सत्त्व pregiven

    essence has to precede

    for आस्तिकs

    me: ok
    6:13 PM
    what i could independently think on this issue is that

    सत् may be the object and सत्त्व is the experience of it

    Chinmay: true
    6:14 PM
    me: so सत् is there and सत्त्व comes into existence when one starts experiencing it

    Chinmay: true
    6:15 PM
    me: fine
