Sanskrit: The Supreme Lord resides eternally in his abode Goloka, yet He can be approached from this world, and to this end the Lord comes to manifest His real form, sac-cid-ananda-vigraha.
Iliaster
What is “iliaster”? We would say, the “protyle” of our physical matter (however, this term, very modern, does not satisfy us either); it is substance, it is the “mulaprakriti मूलप्रकृति” of the Asians.
It seems impossible, but our solar system, in the last synthesis, could be reduced to a seed, to its iliaster, and that’s it!… Let’s take a tree; a tree has evolved from a germ, and in the germ are potentially the trunk, the branches, and the leaves, and the flowers, and the fruits; the iliaster is the seed of any solar system. Thus, the moon chain was reduced to its iliaster; in the iliaster, matter remained in power, it remained latent. Samael Aun Weor
Ishvara-Pranidhana
Ishvara-Pranidhana is translated as “surrendering to God,” but here we call it Self-remembering. That difference is important, because the Sanskrit word Ishvara is a reference to the Innermost, to the divinity that is inside each of us. The word Pranidhana means “to remember, to perceive, to pay attention.” The translation “surrendering to God” does not convey the active, perception component of this precept. Self-remembering is a moment to moment action. It is not passive or just a belief. The phrase “surrendering to God” is passive. It implies that one should let God take over. That is not what this precept is about. It is about actively being aware of the presence of divinity in each moment.
Jagad Yoni
The “womb of the universe” or space. It is a term of the Brahmanical books that refer to the material cause of the universe. It is equivalent to the Golden EGG, Pleroma, and the Greek CHAOS.
