Gita in daily life: Ch. 3 - Existence of Ishvara is not mAyA; or is it?

[Guest guest]

Namaste All.

 

ProfVK Ji conveyed a member's thoughts:-

advaitin/message/26609

>Proceeding from this base, the proponent concludes

>that Ishvara also is mAyA and so all worship, pUjA,

>divine will, the concept of surrender, -- all these

> are non-existent. A consequence of this is to deny

>1. Existence of Ishvara

>2. Concept of Divine will

>3. Concept of Surrender.

 

Due to the relevance of Divine-Will and Surrender, I

have taken the liberty to convert this thread to the

monthly topic.

 

gItA clearly says that even Lord Krishna acts

continuiouly and he has nothing to gain by doing so.

If the acts were to be non-existent as the proponent

claims, Lord Krishna would not have said so.

 

gItA also says beautifully, "brahmArpaNaM

brahmAhavihi...", whereas the proponent feels that the

actions are non-existent.

 

The proponent assumes that mAya is non-existent and

hence calls everything non-existent including iswara,

divine-will, surrender, actions. As we know, mAyA is

neither existent nor non-existent and is called

'anirvacanIya'. mAyA itself is from the brahman and is

non-separate and hence all in it. How then can one

deny oneself and iswara ?

 

The strong conviction of the proponent itself is

wonderful. From the conviction starts a journey

towards the Truth that does not change.

 

Love and Kind regards,

Raghava
