Vina
(Sk.). A kind of large guitar used in India and Tibet, whose invention is attributed variously to Siva, Narada, and others. (TG)
The vina does not always ring out, but its intonation is always harmonious.
(AY, 201)
The health of the yogi is analogous to the tuning of the vina. The same may be said of the work of the yogi. At times resonant, at times silent, wrapped in the veil of goal-fitness. The aim of the yogi is to fill space with useful affirmation and to direct the energy to where Truth is debased. (AY, 202)
The vina must be tuned in order to attain harmonies. (H, 465)
In order that the strings of the vina may sound harmoniously, they should be neither too taut nor too slack. Verily, every effort that is too strenuous fails, and if not sufficiently strong it results in passivity and inertness. (LHR I, p 236)
