Progressing to Advaita

[Guest guest]

>From Ananta

 

The real Vedanta philosophy begins with those known as the qualified

non-dualists. They make the statement that the effect is never

different from the cause; the effect is but the cause reproduced in

another form. If the universe is the effect and God the cause, it

must be God Himself-it cannot be anything but that. They start with

the assertion that God is both the efficient and the material cause

of the universe; that He Himself is the creator, and He Himself is

the material out of which the whole of nature is projected.
