There are three characteristics for chit, achit and Ishvaran; This varthai

explains the characteristics of the three tattvas and also their connection.

 

 

 

Characteristic of chit (sentient)

 

AnanyArhasEshatvam - servants of Sriman Narayanan alone.

 

AnanyasharaNyatvam-Considering emperuman alone to be the sole means.

 

AnanyabhOgyatvam- Confident that emperuman is the one to be attained

(purushArtham)

 

 

 

Characteristic of Ishvaran (Sriman Narayanan)

 

Sarva sEshitvam- Having everything under his control (the only supreme)

 

Sarva rakshagatvam- Saviour of all

 

Parama bhOgyatvam-One who is the best among that could be enjoyed by all

chetanas

 

 

 

Characteristic of Achit

For the chetana linked with the achit, the achit plays a major role in creating

ahankara, mamakara;- That which makes us think the body to be the atma-ahankara;

and that which makes the soul to think relatives, friends , wealth etc that has

no connection with the athma to belong to the athma -mamakara (svaroopa

virodhi)

 

It instigates the thought of protecting oneself; -upAya virodhi;

 

Creates interest in lowkika pleasures involving sabdha (sound), sparsam (touch),

roopam (form), rasam (taste), gandham (smell)-purushArtha virOdhi;

 

If chit overcomes ahankara/mamakara and becomes ananyArhan then Ishvaran is

realized to be sarvasEshi;

 

If chit loses svarakshana pravriththi and becomes ananyasharaNyam then Ishvaran

is realized to be sarva rakshagan;

 

If chit loses interest in lowkika pleasures and becomes ananya bhOgyan then

Ishvaran becomes the paramabhOkyam;
