Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Vedanta defines a logically consistent algebraic system with assumptions, theorems and corollaries. In fact it can be described as a "Topological system." The Vedantic Topology contains the several equivalent definitions that include: Brahman, Atman, Self-realized Person, Perfect Person or Stithaprajna, Perfect Yogi, Person with a Steady Mind, Person with no Desires, Person with no Ego, Perfect Bhakta Yogi, Perfect Karma Yogi, Perfect Jnana Yogi, Person with no illusion, Person with full wisdom, etc. In this mathematical system if one of the qualities is established then rest follows automatically! If one of the qualities does not exist then it can be also shown that none of the quality will exist. This may explain why there is so much confusion and chaos. The Upanishads contain lots of such algebraic statements to establish that infinity can be established in infinity ways but still there is only one INFINITY! If and when we cross our boundary beyond the finite human intelligence, we will be able see the unity between zero and infinity. The Seers who crossed beyond the human intelligence and wrote the Upanishads were able to see no difference between Niguna (Nirvana) and Sarguna (Total Bliss) Brahman. Let me take this opportunity to thank Kartik because he gave me the opportunity to think, react and clarify my view points on this important topic.
