Divine Consciousness: A Concept

Updated: Jul 22, 2023


The peace-hymn (shanti-shloka of the Isavasyopanishad ) indicates the relation of the individual’s soul to the divine supreme spirit.

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते |

पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ||

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ||

oṃ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidam pūrṇāt pūrṇamudacyate .

pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate .

oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ..

Meaning

That is Whole and this is Whole, the perfect has come out of the perfect; having taken the perfect from the perfect, only the perfect remains. Let there be Peace, Peace, Peace.

Divine consciousness is a concept that varies between different spiritual and philosophical traditions. Although it is difficult to give an objective or definitive definition, a general understanding of the concepts can be given.

Non-duality refers to the notion that ultimate reality or the nature of existence does not consist of separate or distinct entities. It refers to an underlying unity or interconnectedness that transcends dualistic distinctions such as self/other, subject/object, or good/evil.

In the context of divine consciousness, non-duality means that the divine essence is beyond any division or separation, encompassing all things as a unified whole.

Infinite, in the context of divine consciousness, usually refers to the limitless or limitless nature of the divine. This suggests that the divine nature is not limited by time, space, or other limited boundaries. The infinity associated with divine consciousness can include the vastness of existence and the potential for infinite expansion of consciousness and understanding.

It is important to note that interpretations of divine consciousness can vary in different spiritual and philosophical systems. Different traditions may use different terminology and conceptual frameworks to describe these ideas. Therefore, the exact understanding of divine consciousness may vary depending on the specific beliefs and practices of a particular tradition or individual.
