Music , the seven colors
of the spectrum, the seven major planets, the seven days of the week – all
these bear ample testimony to the significance attached to the number
seven. In the Supramental Dialectic, Universal Being is sevenfold – viz,
the Sevenfold Chord of Being being Life, Mind, Matter, Supermind, Being,
Knowledge and Bliss.
Seven sciences constitute Dialectics – Ontology, Epistemology, Axiology,
Aesthetics, Ethics, Logic and Politics. The seven liberal arts – Rhetoric,
Music, Astronomy, Grammar, Logic, Arithmetic and Geometry – and
the seven cardinal virtues – Justice, Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence,
Knowledge, Wisdom & Understanding – adorn classical Philosophy.
The seven reprehensible actions of Aristotlean Ethics – Lust, greed,
Jealousy, anger, sloth, covetousness & attachment- have been classified
by Dante as the Seven Deadly sins. The seventh principle in Transcendental
Philosophy is Absolute Being ( Sat ) which is the source of all existence.
The seven states of Consciousness are called in Yoga as Sapta
Bhoomika.
