Abstract

Gnanendriya is a tool for taking extraterrestrial information into knowledge. Vivekananda says that Gnanendriyas should serve the soul. The real freedom of the soul is to understand the senses. Saivasiddhantas and Thirumpas explain the idea that life can be made better by perfecting the Gnanendriyas for theology without going through the path of the Gnanendriyas. It is the soul that directs the senses. It is the Lord who directs the soul. Therefore, if the senses in ignorance there will be no sweetness in life, and the cycle of birth will continue as sins. Gnanendriyas arise from the sattvic ego. Sattvic egoism causes the mind to be calm and the senses to be directed. Sattvic Ego alone prepares one to surrender the ‘yan’ to the lord. According to Saivite philosophy Gnanendriyas do not arise directly from the body. They arise from Sattvic Ego.
