What is the nature of true knowing?

Nyaya Darshan’s profound answer—there are only four pramanas, or valid means by which knowledge can be distilled: Pratyaksha (Perception), Anumana (Inference), Upamana (Comparison/Analogy), and Shabda (Verbal Testimony). 

This quartet forms the backbone not just of philosophical debate but of daily discernment. Each pramana removes one more layer of uncertainty, refining our vision and grounding our convictions in clarity. To wear this tee is to don an emblem of epistemic mastery—a tribute to those who seek meaning beyond impulse.

Gazing at the cosmos and wondering: How it all started? Is creation possible without a cause? How does something arise from nothing? These questions drove me to seek wisdom that could unravel. Stumbled upon Sankhya Darshan's revelation on the mystery of existence.
“नावस्तुनो वास्तुसिद्धिः” — Nothingness cannot manifest into something.

Is this the answer, or the new question, or another step forward for the seeking ahead...

My Notebook:

This shlok captures the marvel how the interconnectedness of all things those that exist now and things which are yet to exist...

Nāvastuno Vāstusiddhiḥ: The cosmos, with all its wonders, does not spring forth from a void. Every star, every thought, every moment or even this t-shirt—each is the result of a cause, a precursor, a seed. There is nothing that something appears out of absolute nothingness. 

Wearing the t-shirt that leads you in a direction is no more a t-shirt, its a sovernier, for the realization about the perpetuality of existence ...

 

In a world awash with noise, select moments of understated excellence create powerful impressions. This tee captures that rare space where intellectual subtlety meets timeless craftsmanship—a wearable emblem of refined belonging.

At the heart of the design lies an exquisitely embroidered forest—a nod to Mother Nature’s eternal presence and vitality. Nested gracefully within this organic tapestry, the brand name “VeechiVed” in English serves as a bridge, connecting ancient Sanskrit heritage with contemporary cultural currents.

This configuration is far more than a graphic; it is an invitation to enter a quiet circle of cognoscenti who value authenticity and purposeful style. The design’s minimalism transcends trendiness, fostering a resonance that deepens over time—and quietly beckons others who recognize the understated prestige of belonging to a select lineage.

This is a tee for those who understand—true distinction is felt, not shouted. It’s a symbol worn not to adorn but to align, building a shared narrative of subtle power and cultivated sophistication.

What does it truly mean to live well? Can one path lead to both worldly happiness and spiritual liberation?

Maharshi Kanada, clarified the answer in a single shloka:
“यतोऽभ्युदयनिःश्रेयससिद्धिः स धर्मः”
Transliteration: Yato’bhyudaya-niḥśreyasa-siddhiḥ sa dharmaḥ
Translation: That which leads to both abhyudaya (worldly prosperity) and niḥśreyasa (spiritual liberation) is Dharma.

This revelation is both grounding and uplifting. True Dharma is not about renouncing the world, nor is it about blind pursuit of pleasure. It is the art of understanding the true nature of things—using resources wisely, enjoying life’s gifts, and yet not losing sight of the soul’s journey toward moksha. When we recognize the body as temporary and the soul as eternal, we learn to use the material for the spiritual, making every action meaningful.

Wearing this tee is a joyful reminder that the highest path is not either-or, but both-and: to thrive in this world while preparing for the next, to honor the body but realize the soul, to live with wisdom and purpose. This is the spirit of Dharma—where abhyudaya and niḥśreyasa meet.

What does it truly mean to live well? Is the purpose of life found in comfort and success, or is there something greater—an enduring fulfillment beyond the material? These questions linger, urging me to look deeper: Can one path lead to both worldly happiness and spiritual liberation?

In my search for clarity, I discovered the wisdom of Maharshi Kanada, who distilled the answer in a single shloka:
“यतोऽभ्युदयनिःश्रेयससिद्धिः स धर्मः”
Transliteration: Yato’bhyudaya-niḥśreyasa-siddhiḥ sa dharmaḥ
Translation: That which leads to both abhyudaya (worldly prosperity) and niḥśreyasa (spiritual liberation) is Dharma.

This revelation is both grounding and uplifting. True Dharma is not about renouncing the world, nor is it about blind pursuit of pleasure. It is the art of understanding the true nature of things—using resources wisely, enjoying life’s gifts, and yet not losing sight of the soul’s journey toward moksha.

Why am I here, in this body, at this moment? What is the purpose of my existence, and what invisible force guides the course of my life? These questions, often dismissed as abstract, have always echoed within me—persistent, profound, and impossible to ignore.

In my search for answers, seeking clarity amid the mysteries of birth and destiny. The shloka from Samkhya Darshan offered a revelation:
“संस्कारलेशतत्सिद्धिः”
Transliteration: Saṃskāra-leśa-tat-siddhiḥ
Translation: The soul shall/must fulfill its purpose for which it took the physical form

It struck me—just as a lion, leaping between rocks, completes its arc even after death, so too does the soul carry forward the momentum of unfinished karma. Our actions, thoughts, and intentions leave indelible imprints—saṃskāras—that propel us into new forms and experiences, lifetime after lifetime. Only with the awakening of vivek gyaan—true discernment—do these karmic bonds begin to dissolve, freeing the soul from the endless cycle of cause and effect.

Wearing this tee is a joyful act of introspection and a bold statement: every thread is woven with meaning, every moment is shaped by what came before. Let this shloka remind you that your journey is purposeful, your actions matter, and wisdom is the key to liberation.

Is the soul truly free, or does it bear the shadows of past deeds—subtle threads that tie it to the dance of existence? This shlok reveals that the aatma (soul) takes on each body with purpose, carrying forward the faintest trace—leśa—of karma pending fulfillment.

The soul bears the delicate pixels of karmic residue as a transient passenger, weaving fate’s intricate pattern through lifetimes. The shlok reminds us: the journey is purposeful, unfinished business must be completed, however minuscule the remaining debt is...

This tee invites reflection on the profound philosophy of Samkhya Darshan. It speaks to those who feel and who understand that every incarnation is a karmic necessity, not accident. Wearing this is a reminder that we are all souls in the cosmic fabric, fulfilling our karmic echoes until the final release.

The shloka from Samkhya Darshan offered a revelation:
“संस्कारलेशतत्सिद्धिः”
Transliteration: Saṃskāra-leśa-tat-siddhiḥ
Translation: Soul will and must fulfill the purpose of taking the birth with a body

I have often asked myself looking into the vastness of the cosmos wondering: Is it possible for existence to arise from pure nothingness, or is there always a hidden cause behind every effect? How does something come into being? What is the true nature of creation? 

The answer... Nothing ! nothingness can not manifest into something

Turning the pages of Samkhya Darshan, I encountered this shlok:
“नावस्तुनो वास्तुसिद्धिः”
Transliteration: Nāvastuno Vāstusiddhiḥ
Translation: Nothingness cannot manifest into something.

The revelation was both humbling and exhilarating. The cosmos, with all its wonders, does not spring forth from a void. Every star, every thought, every moment—each is the result of a cause, a precursor, a seed. There is no magic trick where something appears out of absolute nothingness. The universe is a grand tapestry, each thread woven from what came before.

This shloka challenged me to see the world not as a series of random miracles, but as a dance of causes and effects—kāraṇa and kārya. It is a joyful realization: to honor the origins, and to marvel at the interconnectedness of all things. Wearing this wisdom is a reminder that every manifestation in life, including our own, is grounded in something profound and eternal.

Nāvastuno Vāstusiddhiḥ: The answer to the ultimate question of how anything—beauty, thought, or even a t-shirt—comes to be.

Wearing the t-shirt that leads you in a direction is no more a t-shirt, its a sovernier, of a realization about the perpetual change of the cosmos far from what we can hold...

Staring into the vastness of the cosmos wondering: Is it possible for existence to arise from pure nothingness, or is there always a hidden cause behind every effect? How does something come into being? What is the true nature of creation? 

These questions echoed in my mind, urging me to seek answers beyond the ordinary. I turned to the ancient texts, searching for a wisdom that transcends time and culture—a source that could illuminate the mystery of manifestation itself.
