Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiration for the Lexicon of An Infinite Mind, a Dictionary of Words and Terms in Sri Aurobindo's “Savitri” came to me in the early 1970's during the initial stages of the construction of the Matrimandir and Matrimandir Gardens in Auroville. I was greatly encouraged by Madhav Pandit who asked me to begin the work immediately as I could be sure that Mother's force would be with me at every moment to enable me complete the Lexicon. Although preliminary study began, the intensity of the labour to begin build the Gardens of the Matrimandir, collecting, propagating and studying the adaptability and acclimatization of hundreds of the most beautiful species precluded further research at the time.Now, more than forty years have passed since the first inspiration came. The title is taken from Book Eleven, The Book of Everlasting Day, Canto One, The Eternal Day: The Soul's Choice and the Supreme Consummation,.. the first lexicon of an infinite mindTranslating the language of eternal bliss. The Lexicon languished in limbo when Mary Helen passed away in 2002 and copyright issues surfaced necessitating an exhaustive reworking. All definitions have now been taken from free dictionary sources, out of copyright dictionaries, and those offered by the authors.The first list of words and terms was compiled in 1998. In 1999 our research intensified and continued through the winter of 2001 when we had completed more than 90% of the Lexicon. In February 2002 Mary Helen, my beloved friend, companion, wife and disciple of Mother and Sri Aurobindo, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Her understanding of English grammar, punctuation, style, etc., has led to a far wider compilation than had earlier been envisioned. When a dear friend at Savitri Bhavan in Auroville, sent us a list of words for which a disciple from India needed clarification our scope was again enlarged, understanding that for many whose first language is not English there are numerous words with multiple definitions, many so profound as to be puzzling or seemingly obscure, or not readily accessible to being defined. For this reason we revisited the entire text and began to include words that may be felt by some familiar with English to be “common” yet are employed by Sri Aurobindo in unique ways in Savitri. Even then, there remain hundreds of more well known words that have been omitted so that the Lexicon might prove not too unwieldy.We are aware that much of Savitri is incomprehensible to the mind without an inner illumination or understanding from the planes above the mind, and challenges transcription in a lexicographic sense. Sri Aurobindo, has expanded the English language as no one has done since Shakespeare, coined new words, employed words in unique and far wider senses, utilized and often anglicised foreign terms and widened the language by conveying visions and experiences that are beyond words. In fact, he has written Savitri from planes far above the mind and described with a clarity and precison worlds upon worlds as no poet has done in all the poetic compositions of the ages.

This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To begin to understand Savitri one needs the inward turn, a quieting of the mind and an opening and receptivity to mantric poetry wherein the power of the Word is made manifest. Mentally one cannot comprehend that which comes from planes far above the mind and should not even make an attempt. With patience and love the inner knowledge that may now seem arcane will dawn. If Savitri is approached with humility the soul will realize that which is seemingly unintelligible. This book is an aid to the deeper understanding of the many words and terms in various languages including references from the Vedas and the Upanishads. In the poem we learn of the two-in-one, the dual Avatars, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, who have come to this world to uplift and transform mankind establishing a new transforming force on earth, the Supermind. It also opens us to the consciousness-force of the Divine, the Mother, who in the poem as Savitri, descends here to conquer death by love and establish on earth the Life Divine. If you will begin to read Savitri, aloud whenever possible, to dwell in its transcendent music and rhythms, not attempting at all to fathom its mantric lines with the limited mental consciousness, a new world will open before you and long before you have completed reading the poem your life will be changed. This I have personally experienced and the Supplement to the Lexicon of an Infinite Mind is my offering to those who aspire to grow in consciousness through a love of Savitri. In all the poetic accomplishments of man, however high, there is nothing to compare with this epic of nearly 24,000 lines. It has indeed been a labour of love and a supreme blessing to receive the replies to my many questions concerning words and terms from those who have an opening to the higher planes and have chosen Savitri as their sadhana and their path to realization and transformation.

Download or read book Brain and the Lexicon written by Fabrizio Calzavarini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph offers a novel, neurocognitive theory concerning words and language. It explores the distinction between inferential and referential semantic competence. The former accounts for the relationship of words among themselves, the latter for the relationship of words to the world. The author discusses this distinction at the level of the human brain on both theoretical and neuroscientific grounds. In addition, this investigation considers the relation between the inf/ref neurocognitive theory and other accounts of semantic cognition proposed in the field of neurosemantics, as well as some potential implications of the theory for clinical neuroscience and the philosophy of semantics. Overall, the book offers an important contribution to the debate about lexical semantic competence. It combines a strong philosophical and linguistic background with a comprehensive and critical analysis of neurosemantic literature. Topics discussed lie at the intersection of philosophical semantics, linguistics, neurolinguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, cognitive neuroscience, and clinical psychology. Due to its interdisciplinary orientation, coverage is rich in introductory remarks and not overly technical, therefore it is accessible to non-experts as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe that lures him to evil ways," observed Gautama Buddha. The Infinite Mind is a work on exploring the different facets and the contours of the human mind. The majesty of the human mind lies in its astonishing latent powers. Humans have set footprints on the moon, attempted to explore the universe and human body since ages but are yet to fathom the mind. During their short time on earth, the average human neglects to understand or explore the mind. Yet right from childhood humans use the mind, everyday, till death. The mind is a tool; one should learn about it, sharpen it and then see the phenomenal results that follow in the shortest possible time. The first step could be a SWOT analysis of the human mind, which can bring in greater harmony with nature and the universe. If the mind is trained in the right direction, life will automatically gravitate to happiness and healthy thoughts persist. The human mind can act as a positive or negative trigger. The question is "How to touch the mind? Sharpen it?" Yes, it can be done. In this book, there are techniques discussed to strengthen the mind and break the fears or barriers. Miracles happen when thoughts manifest in life through the mind. Invest attention in the mind and feel the genie experience. Humans often experience something magical, something that is unexplainable. How does it happen? What is the X-factor that metamorphoses the thought process in the mind? This book is an attempt to provide answers in this direction. "Like very muddy water, which is clearly water again when the mud is removed, one's true self shines forth again when the contamination (ignorance) is removed."- Adi Shankaracharya.

Download or read book The Human Mind through the Lens of Language written by Nirmalangshu Mukherji and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most living forms in nature display various cognitive abilities in their behaviour. However, except for humans, no other animal builds fires and wheels, navigates with maps and tells stories to other conspecifics. We can witness this unique feature of the human mind in almost everything humans do, such as painting, singing and cooking; there is an underlying sense of unity in the generative part of these systems despite wide differences in what they are about. This book introduces, defends and develops a novel philosophical approach to the study of the generative mind. Nirmalangshu Mukherji argues for a single, species-specific generative principle that accounts for the human ability to combine symbolic forms without bound in each domain that falls under the generative mind.
