"They should also ask what the relationship between God and the
devitas is".
"The devitas seem like they are all the aspects of God;
Both the silent aspect and the dynamic aspect(s);
And the aspect of coordination, of the two, as mentioned above.
So, I think the teaching here, is that when you are firmly
established enough in pure consciousness; Silence...
Then you can begin to notice how these sparks of intelligence operate,
Within yourself, and the field of the Transcendent is non-localized,
in your consciousness...
So, for example, when there would be a big storm, like hurricane
Katrina, then one of the Devitas, Indra, would be extremely lively in
the atmosphere.
And one who was established in the Transcendent, would Know, that.
Now for me, it seem easy to attune to the vibration of Indra,
Because I've always been curious about electricity, and storms and
things of that nature.
So, to understand more subtle aspects to all of this for me,
Would be to tap into the vibration of Indra and feel that
understanding all the essence of what a storm is. Which obviously is
a great force of nature, and operates always by the same laws.
{When there is a storm brewing (and living in Seattle lately, is not
hard to feel the influence of Indra)}.
Also, an aspect of an influence of Indra is purification, which
allows the influence of Shiva, to purify-
So, Indra, in a way, you could say, works for Shiva...
But it's all connected anyway, so...
But how it is organized, as Maharishi says...
So, I feel that the influence of purification in the atmosphere, now;
Has been greatly influenced by the aspect of God, called Indra.
So, this is one of the ways, in which I understand what Maharishi is
saying about this subject, by my own subjective experience, and
interest in weather and storms and the natural forces."
