[Doubt] Upaadaana KAranam

[Guest guest]

Dear Shree/Shreemathi Anitha Seshadri,

 

The Brahman is the UpAdAna kAraNam and the Nimitha kAraNam for all

chit and achit entities. This does NOT mean that his "Swaroopam"

gets changed to Chit and Achit. But only his "Roopam" which was

subtle (sUkshma) chit, achits becomes expanded (stUla) chit, achits

ie., the chit achits gets form,name etc.,. Therefore the Brahman

is "Satyam-Ignyaanam-Anantam" only even though the Brahman is the

UpAdAna kAraNam. The example for "clay" in this context is only for

understanding the concept. The changes in his "Roopam" does not

in any way contradict "Satyam-Ignyaanam-Anantam". The same is the

case with his divine "Roopam" (divya mangala vigraham) also which

changes as per his wish in various avataaras. The Brahman who had

subtle chit and achit as his "Roopam/Sareeram" is the same Brahman

who is having expanded chit and achit as his "Roopam/Sareeram". Therefore

the Brahman is UpAdAna kAraNam (Visistayoho Advaitam Visistadvaitam)

As the Brahman wished and created the universe, the same Brahman is the

"Nimitha kAraNam". The Brahman with all the chit and achit tatvas

as his body and who is with infinite divine attributes and untouched

by all impurities is unparalleled and unsurpassed (Visistasya Advaitam

Visistadvaitam).

 

Thanks & Regards

M.S.HARI Ramanuja Daasan.
