Vaisheshika-sutras

The Vaisheshika Sutras (another name is the “Kanada Sutras”) are the main collection of aphorisms (sutras) of the orthodox philosophical school (darshanas) of the Vaisheshika. The books in the collection explain in detail and classify the fundamental modifications of the universe, as well as their various categories – padartha. The authorship of the Sutras is traditionally attributed to the sage Kanada, who was also called Kanabhuj, which means “Devouring grains (atoms),” emphasizing the atomistic feature of his worldview.

These are thought-constructions, they are not something negative, they are part of our highest nature, a manifestation of Jnana-shakti. But the divine Shakti is dual, it is both a means of salvation and something that can create illusions for the ignorants. Illusions often manifest themselves in the form of mind (vikalpas).
