The Chinese looks upon the universe as an organism
As we shall subsequently see
But the dramatic idea is basic to Hinduism
Now you could speak about Hinduism on two levels at least
One I will call the the metaphysical level
And the other the mythological level
If you speak on the metaphysical level
You can speak only in negative language
You can say what the divine the ultimate reality is not
If you speak on the mythological level
You may speak of what the divine is like
Because myth
Is not a falsehood as one uses the word in a sophisticated way
A myth is an image
A concrete image
In terms of which Man makes sense of the world
Which Man makes sense of the world
Thus, the idea of God the father
Or God the maker
Is a myth
Cause it's an image
Cause it’s an image
And Christian theologians distinguish equally
Between two kinds of theological language
Which are respectively called
Cataphatic and apophatic
Apophatic language is negative
As when we say God is infinite
And eternal
Cataphatic language is mythological as when we say
God the Father
God is love
Nor the positive designation
We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father
We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father
We are not saying God is a cosmic male parent
But that he is analogous with the father
So, with Hinduism
So, with Hinduism
What I’m going to speak to you first of all is the mythological language of Hinduism
The idea of the universe as the big act
The universe is God playing hide and seek
With himself
For God is thought off fundamentally to the Hindu
As the self
THE self
The cosmic eye
