The Book of the World – IV

Baba Rampuri talks about how the Yogi reads the world as a text.

“‘Hinduism’ is a recent word constructed in the West by India’s colonizers to represent a set of beliefs thought to be held by most Indians, thus a religion. But traditionally, those thought of as Hindus (originally referring to people who lived on the “other” side of the Indus River), have no concept of “Hinduism,” but speak of the sum of knowledge among their diverse traditions as the “Sanatan Dharma.” In the oral tradition of the Naga Yogis, we think of the Sanatan Dharma as the Book of the World.”

The world is the container of all things and The Book of the World is its articulation. Its language is Primary Language, not Sanskrit, but a language of signatures: marks, signs, flags, and cyphers, that call our attention to outer resemblances which indicate inner, hidden relationships.
