Antahkarana - Esoteric Term for the ‘Silver Cord’ – (2751)

Antahkarana

Antahkarana is a Sanskrit word originating from two parts: Antar and karana. Where, antar means “interior” or “within” and karana means “sense organ” or “cause”. Overall antahkarana translates as the “the inner cause” or “internal organ”.

“In Indian philosophy and yoga, antahkarana refers to the internal organ that is the location or inner origin of thought and feeling.

It is defined as either the link between the body and the spirit or the bridge between the middle and higher mind. The term may also be defined as the source of thinking, or the mind, soul, heart or conscience.”


Essentially It Is

Essentially then the word antahkarana is a link between the body and our essence and the link between our essence and our will and mind.

The term antahkarana has a wider connotation than the word silver cord doesn’t it. Antahkarana implies the all the links that there are between our essence to other aspects or bodies that we have.

End (2751).
