Category:Paradigm postulates

Postulates (Axioms): Fundamental truths about the nature of reality, stemming from the understanding of the Absolute. There are many classifications of them, developed by scholars according to time, place, and circumstances. The basic classification of Vedanta includes: the nature of the Superconsciousness (ishvara), individual consciousness (jiva), material nature (prakriti), time (kala), and cause-and-effect interactions (karma). Postulates are accepted based on methodological principles of cognition, which themselves depend on the perception of reality. They are revealed by the Superconsciousness to the individual consciousness depending on the nature of their relationship.
