Science of Consciousness

anashina

anāśina

In- (a-) destructible (nāśina). Consciousness, the self (ātma) is indestructible. It is without beginning and end, stands on its own, and is infinite existence itself.

Extended definition:
  • anashina

    This should give the knower of this true self (svarūpa) complete self-confidence, freedom, love and fearlessness.

    Since the body and mind are not completely without pain, aversion or liking, it means complete non-attachment (asaṅgatvam) from the feelings of the body and mind.

The explanation of this Sanskrit term was written by Simon de Jong.
