emptybill, does ritam occur only on the para level or also on the pashyanti
level where the four levels of speech from tantric tradition are para
(transcendent or nondual speech), pashyanti (the speech which is seen),
madhyama
(mental speech), vaikhari (spoken speech).
In para, one just has to hang around a nondual realizer and they
realize that that state transmits the potentiality for all answers
without an intervening transfer. So the tension of "question" and
"answer" just spontaneously resolves itself at that level. Thus a
realizer radiating bodhichitta, the thought of enlightenment for all
sentience tends to actualize realization in others merely by their
presence, although this is not necessarily is limited by space/
distance or time.
Pashyanti is pure visionary speech beyond karmic
vision.
Madhyama are thoughts or communication within the mental
"body" or dimension.
Vaikhari is dualistic speech coming from our
vocal chords.

Ritam Bhara Prajña Ha Ha ,,,
All this talk about Ritam ... doesn't anyone here
read Vyasa's commentary on the Yoga Sutras?
August, 2010 reply ... ("Now that is Rtam.")
Ritam-bhara prajna is not described this way by Vyasa so I am not sure where
this interpretation comes from.
Ritam prajna is described by him as direct non-conceptual knowing of
a particular in which there is no such thing as a general idea (that
means no abstraction whatsoever, whether linguistic or conceptual). This type
of direct cognition is unconditioned by concepts of space, time or cause.
That means this insight or direct perception is independent of:
1. any locus of the seer/seeing /seen
2. any sequence of moments in which it occurs
3. any causal conditions which seem to anchor or produce such insight.
This type of direct cognition sees the specific characteristics and
qualities of an object just as it is in itself without regard to the
overlays of conditioning, either by thought, language or culture, whether known
or unknown.
Although Ritam is described in the Rig Veda as the Right, it is conjoined with
Satyam (Truth) and Brihat (the Vast Expanse) i.e. these are three
mutual values that uphold the universe. Just as prakriti is just the
three guna-s functioning together in coordination, so Dharma is satyam, ritam,
brihat ... the Truth, the Right, the Vast ... conjoined in universal
functioning.
Swaha ... Swa ha ha
