Brahman as 'Cause'

This does not look right. Surely Thakurji could not have meant that

"Brahman is the creator of space".

 

If Brahman and space are related as above then they are

linked by the law of cause and effect.

Brahman cannot be the creator of anything.

 

The more acceptable way to explain may be.

Brahman 'appears' as space - (the key word is 'appears').

 

This is not a mere play of words.

There is a serious idea behind all this.

If Brahman gets caught up in the

chain of cause and effect - its very essence is lost.
