Guest guest Posted September 18, 1998 Report Share Posted September 18, 1998 Dear Friends, There was this strand of discussion on Sep 1, that was not followed up fully ( or maybe i missed it). could the members please answer these questions raised by mani on this date? i enclose a somewhat detailed insert as this was a while ago. anand >Permit me to play devil's advocate in the rest of this >email. > >> "pirAtti" is also a "vishesanA" for nArAyaNA > >This is agreed. > >> ie. perumAL is the sarIrI & pirAtti is sarIrA for Him. > >Let us also accept this for now. > >> aprudhak siddha viseshanA exists between >> the two. Since perumAL is present as visEshyA & pirAtti as His >> aprudhak siddha visEshanA , both of them can be referred by a single >> word . This resolves all the "confusions" . "ekatvam" is not lost. > >Why then, is not ekatva lost if caturmukha-brahma is also taken >as part of the "ekatva", since since caturmukha-brahma is >also a viseshya in apRthak-siddhi relation to Brahman? > >pirATTi's viseshaNatva does not automatically lead to >ekatva of the jagat-kAraNa, because this could equally >apply to any jIvAtmA in Brahman's SarIra, or worse, >to prakRti itself. > >> But , pirAtti is also Brahman ( Jagad kAranatvam) & belongs to >> category of IswarA ie. she is neither a jIvAtmA nor prakruti, but >> Controller of all jIvAtmAs & achit . She is also "upAyA" & "upEyA". >> for baddha jIvAtmAs . > >The supposition is that SrI and nArAyaNa are distinct tattva-s >related in a viseshaNa-viseshyA relation. This being the case, >the same objection from above can be applied here, that this does >not necessarily mean that SrI must have upAyatva. If furthermore, >SrI is in the ISvara class as a separate tattva, how at the same >time can she be SarIra to nArAyaNa? In other words, if the Lord >is already Infinite, how can she also be Infinite? Can there be >two Ultimate Infinites? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
