MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN the sea. As spiritual essence, the soul is always one with Siva; as a form it evolves over time and ultimately merges back in Him. The individual soul-which is a conscious being, a body of light-is created, evolves on the wheel of samsara from incarnation to incarnation, ultimately merging in undifferentiated union with God Siva. The soul experience, and receives the consequences of Karma, change themselves and finally arrives at God Himself. Thus the final statement is: “The soul which discriminates between Sat and Asat is eternal. The Lord who helps the soul to know, is eternal and the bond (Pasam) which binds the soul so that it may not know God, is also eternal. When the intelligence of the Lord descends on the soul, the soul will be liberated.” Doctrine of emanational creation. Here is Tirumular's doctrine of emanational creation. “If the cardinal directions are all Siva, why speak of someone else, O you men! All smoke emanates from fire, all creation arises from our Primal Lord.” (Verse 3010) “He created the seven worlds. He created countless celestials. He created souls without number. He Created all - Himself, As Primal Param, He is Uncreated” (Verse 446) When the Creator dances, the worlds He created dances too.” (Verse 2786) There are different views of creation of souls. One form describes God's cosmic creative act as analogous to a potter who fashions a pot. In this description of creation, God is the Potter (called the efficient cause) who, through the use of a wheel (called the instrumental cause and thought of as God's power of Shakti) molds from an already-existing inanimate matter clay (called the material cause and thought of as a primordial Matter or Maya) a pot (the effect of these three cause). 174
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN This is the same cocept given in Genesis (Gen 2, 7) “ The LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.” Creation of the soul is like a spark issuing from a fire, like a wave, a bubble or river arising from the ocean, like the dance of a dancer. Final Destiny: According to Saiva Sidhanta, the final destiny of all creation is a complete and irrevocable union of the soul in God Siva, a union which is identity. The Spirit returns to the God who gave it to every man. This identity comes after the soul has completed its sojourn in samsara, the cycle of earthly births and deaths, and after further evolution in inner worlds. “When this malam ceased to obstruct the soul, fhe soul resumes its original form of Sivam.” “Even as a shadow disappears with the body, even as a bubble returns into water. even as a flame of camphor leaves on trace, so it is when <strong>Jiva</strong> into Param unites.” (Verse 2587) http://saivaphilosophy.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-is-saiva-siddhantam.html Existence of FIVE elements: The triple realities or Mupporul Unmai ( Pathi, Pasu and Pasam) are God, Soul and its Bondage which consist of Anavam, Karmam and Mayai. GOD is Supreme Being and all knowing SOULS are capable of knowing anything is they are taught only. ANAVAM creates ignorance and egoism to the souls KARMAM is giving experience to the souls. MAYAI helps the souls to get away from ignorance. It is the source of the cosmos which includes world and all living entities. 175
