TRINITY : M. M. NINAN<br />
2. Philosophical and Logical Reasons<br />
Brahman without any guna - any properties. In fact properties<br />
arise only in relationship. If the Brahman has to become active<br />
he has to be community <strong>of</strong> real persons. Thus saguna Brahman<br />
consists <strong>of</strong> a Trimurthi - three persons. According to vedas this<br />
creation began with the Omkaram the creative vibratory word<br />
being spoken.<br />
In this approach the Trinitarian aspect appears within the wider<br />
aspect <strong>of</strong> God who is not known to us because <strong>of</strong> the limited<br />
revelation we have. In fact we can never know God in His<br />
fullness. A representation <strong>of</strong> this will be as follows.<br />
I have drawn a dark circle to indicate the unknown<br />
incomprehensible God. God is more than what we have known.<br />
We now know in part. We will be able to know much more as we<br />
mature and become part <strong>of</strong> the consonant part <strong>of</strong> the Body <strong>of</strong><br />
Christ.<br />
1Co 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to<br />
face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even<br />
as I have been fully understood.<br />
