VEDANTA AND SCIENCE - THE HUMAN FORM
AND THE EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS (PART FOURTEENTH).
By Andrea Boni.

(La Tredicesima Parte è consultabile QUI )

Il Linguaggio Logico-Razionale e la Descrizione del Piano Assoluto.
L'argomento è alquanto affascinante e ha coinvolto filosofi e pensatori fin dall'antichità. In particolare anche Badarayana dedica un Sutra all'inizio della sua opera per trattare l'argomento. Esistono infatti alcuni testi delle Scritture Sacre che mostrano che l'Assoluto, il Brahman, è ineffabile, al di là di ogni logica empirica e pertanto non è conoscibile e non è esprimibile a parole.





In particolare la Taittirya Upanishad (II.4.12) afferma:

From [Brahman] the words recede along with the thought without having borrowed. In the Kena Upanishad

(I.5) we find:

What is not expressed by the word
and that is expressed by the word, that only
is known as Brahman;
not what [the mob] venerates as such.

would therefore appear that the absolute plane, Reality as a whole (according to the Upanishads, Brahman) is not expressible in words. Badarayana says

Sutra I.1.5

Ikshaternashabdam

Ikshateh-because it is seen, Na - not, Ashabdam - inexpressible.

[The plan Absolute, Brahman] is inexpressible in words,
the same as the Vedas teach - 5

Scientific Commentary.
ashabdam The word sutra means when used in or about which the word can not penetrate or which can not be expressed. Brahman is not ashabdam. On the contrary shabdam, or express in words. Why? Ikshateh, "because it is seen." In fact, the Upanishads themselves in other passages state that Brahman is assigned to the evocative description aupanishada, which means that the Brahman is known through the words of the Upanishads, for example, as cited in Br.Up. (III.9.26):

I ask the person taught in the Upanishads.

Here the object of research, the "person" is taught by the Upanishads, called the Upanishads, which is known through the Upanishads. The Brahman, therefore, can be expressed in words, in fact we also find the following text of the Shruti "He cited that all the Vedas, etc." (Katha II.15?). It 's also true that the Brahman is said to be ashabdam, that ineffable, and has intedenrsi that is not fully expressed through logic. Thus, as the mountain Meru is said to be invisible in the sense that no one can see entirely, but it does not mean that it is entirely invisible, then the Brahman is said to be indescribable or inexpressible, in the sense that is not fully describe. If it were not fully knowable, then we would not have found in the Kena Upanishad says "find out more about how to be the Brahman, because it is not possible to know the unknowable. Also in the phrase "from which the word back," the term yatah shows that the word reaches him, after he made a little, the same idea is expressed by the word aprapya, "that grabs him." It is also written that the Brahman reveals itself through the Vedas. This idea does not conflict with the notion che il Brahman si auto rivela. Infatti in qualche modo i Veda sono il corpo del Brahman. Conseguentemente il Brahman è descrivibile a parole. In questo verso si esprime quanto precedentemente affermato riguardo la valenza del linguaggio logico-razionale. Esso è utile per descrivere una parte della realtà, o meglio, per creare dei modelli rappresentativi di quella che sembra a noi essere la realtà, ma non è sufficiente per descrivere completamente piani di consapevolezza superiori. In questo caso occorre utilizzare un linguaggio diverso con specifiche differenti: il linguaggio interiore, quello della coscienza. Le Scritture Sacre sono una rappresentazione del linguaggio interiore di persone illuminate che hanno “visto” la realtà in modo more complete and trying to describe it. The use of different languages \u200b\u200bis also typical of the computing world. In fact there is a programming language of computers that will work for any application. We may use a specific language to design the hardware at the lowest level (the VHDL or Verilog), a language for generic applications (language co language c + +), one to manage information flows and databases (eg ' SQL), and yet another for multimedia design specific applications (eg for the iphone so widespread today, such as Java or Objective-C and many others). For each context, it must use a specific language. Similarly The logical and rational language can not explain everything. It 's definitely useful, but only in certain contexts and totally ineffective in others. It can help to describe something of reality as a whole, but not all. Hence the importance of scripture (authoritative). They help to describe models that can not be expressed otherwise. Clearly, however, can not fully describe the absolute plane.
