Haribhadra and Psychosynthesis
creativity of the Supreme Consciousness that is at work in all this vast play. By losing Himself the Supreme Purusa finds Himself in the form of the upiverse. Creativity is his very nature. Man being a part and portion of this vast play, has to manifest willy-nilly. That is why Gita and even Haribhadra insist on work and social detached service As long as the sādhaka has not reached the stage of Mukta, he has to work with detachment for the service of the society in all possible ways in accordance with his aptitudes and capacity. The manifestation of his potential power in the term of service is nothing but an outer aspect of his sādbana. The inner sādbanā can be tested by this outer sadhanā in the form of the manifestation of potential powers Such manifestation too is sādhana and form a part of his sādhanā. Haribhadra in a style of Gila's exhortation, insists on social service by knowledge or teaching or writing or any other similar ways The problem now is how to integrate all knowledge and art. Unintegrated art and knowledge have led man to dissipation and misery. He fce!s the need of synthesis and unification of all knowledge and art. It is by reaching the essence of art and knowledge that the key to their integration can be found out. This essence is nothing but Rasa. It is Rasa that makes possible the creation of a piece of art. It is Rasa again that goads mao to knowledge. Rasa and knowledge are indivisible. They always go together. It is Rasa that keeps life. worth living.

The ten Rasas are : (1) Śțăgăra
(2) Hāsya
(3) Karuna (4) Vira (5) Adbhuta
(6) Bībhatsa (7) Rudra (8) Vatsalya (9) Bhayāpaka (10) śānta. The secret of Rasas lie in their proper arrangement and their place in life. The sense objects are the temptations so Bībhatsa can be utilized to keep away from them. The results of their enjoyment are dire and thinking on them can Bhāyanaka be created. Rudra Rasa can be created to drive away all worldly temptations. But as soon as these basic Rasa take place the mind can thiok of the enticements. By such an approach he can create Karuņa in his heart. As soon as his mind becomes so supple by Karuņa he can change the direction of the mind upward and fix the mind on the Supreme Consciousness and think of its immensities and infinities and thus Adbhuta Rasa can be generated, By such spiritual Adbhuta Rasa and its Carvaņā he begins to love the highest goal and Spiri
