MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN the <strong>Jiva</strong> is responsible for its own actions and do not affect the condition of Iswara except through the mercy and love of Iswara. This philosophy of dualism is basically the same as the concept of God in the Western churches. The comparison goes further. Madhava in fact was a Calvinist John Calvin (1509 -1564 AD) He divides souls into three classes. One class of souls, which qualify for liberation (Mukti-yogyas), another subject to eternal rebirth or eternal transmigration (Nitya-samsarins) and a third class that is eventually condemned to eternal hell or andhatamas (Tamoyogyas). No other Hindu philosopher or school of Hinduism holds such beliefs. In contrast, most Hindus believe in universal salvation; that all souls will eventually obtain moksha, even if it is after millions of rebirths. The Eastern Churches held the Visishta Advaita and Saiva Siddhanta Theologies since their inception. However Western Churches hold the strict separation between the Creator and the Created. God created the <strong>Jiva</strong> and Ajiva – Living and the non-living. The question then is “Where did God create? Was there an ouside of God?” The answer given by Western Churches is that God Created the Cosmos outside of him and it was created from nothing. Only part God gave seems to be the “breath”. However such a proposition is riddled with inherent incoherency. It would mean there was 208
MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA M.M.NINAN something called outside of God – another dimension where God did not occupy, where there was nothing. So God was not alone in the beginning. There was this outside of Him. God then created the cosmos ex-nihilo out of nothing into this nothing outside of Him. If nothing can come out of nothing, the world would turn out to be illusion and not a reality. Thus God remained transcendant and totally the other. Then he entered into this creation to be immanent. The problem here is the assumption that there was a dimension beyond God himself (with all the infinite dimensions within Himself) called nothing, none the less very real. This has all the problem associated with the virtual particle proposition of materialism. The way out is proposed by Madhava that there is Isvara and outside of Isvara is the cosmos. There are two realities, they are eternal Iswara and Cosmos. In this Cosmos, God entered to be immanent to guide and control it. 209
