ii) Who manifests the material universe, though temporary, out of
three modes of nature as appears factual in Him although they
are unreal.
4.7.1 The one appearing in the Universe will vanish after some time is
understood. The one appearing like is temporary but it is not midya or
unreal. Therefore both cause and affect are real. Brahman is real and the
manifest from Brahman is also real. Brahman, Jeeva, Prakruti all are
eternal but prakruti is inferior. When Jeeva contacts the inferior, the jeeva
goes into the influence of maya. But not the Brahman. Janma karmacha
me Divyam (alaukika). (Gita 4.9)
4.7.2 Tadejati Tannaijati taddure Tadantike Tadantarasya sarvasya
sarvasyasya Bhahyataha (hsavasya - 5)
He (The Lord Bhagavan) can walk as well He can not. He is so far away yet
he is very nearer. He is inside the universe and outside the universe. The
Unity and equality can be seen from the diversity of the various dharmas.
5.0 THE LORD HAS THE SPIRITUAL FORM AND THE ABODE. (Refer
para 2.1)
5. 1 The upanishads and vedas in their exclusiveness can not bring forth
the real truth therefore in the togetherness as well as exclusiveness one
shall try to understand it in the descending order.
5. 2 It is said in the Mundakopanishad (2-2-7) that the Lord paramatma is
eternally situated with all his opulences in his abode of the great
Brahmapuri beyond the spiritual sky.
5.3 The description of the supreme abode is also narrated in the (Bg. 15-6)
as the abode which need not be illuminated by any sun, moon, fire or
electricity, and those who reach it never return to this material world
again.
5. 4 The world is to be understood as temporary as it is emanating from
the Lord who is eternal and shall not be misconstrued as unreal or maya.
The reality and un reality can not co-exist. The mayavada philosophy
propounded by Sri Sankaracharya has been described in padma purana
(U.Kha A. 43. Sta. 6) as conversation between Lord Shiva and Parvati that
"I shall preach in the Kaliyuga the mayavada sastra which is not really a
sastra and is nothing but the veiled buddisim. Sri Sankaracharya, who is
the incarnation of Lord Shiva, who safeguarded the Vedas is highly
respectable and accomplished the task at the will of the Lord. This is also
further confirmed in the Varaha purana, Narada Pancharatra 4-2-29,30.
6.0 The Lord is fruit giver and the jeeva is enjoyer of fruit and
fruitive activities
(vide gita 2.47) (Refer para 4.4.3)
