......Notes of last few minutes of Upanyasam from March 17th 2002....

[Please pardon me with any errors in the translation]

 

The KatoPanishad clearly mentions that Jeevathma is eternal and is not

subject to any birth or death.

Paramathma, also an atma, is different from the Jeevathma in the fact that

he/it is omniscient or omnipresent.

 

There are two types of Physical transformation of entity.

1. Svarupa Anyathbhava

2. Swabhava Anyathabhava

 

The nature of transformation in the case of Jeeva is called Swabhava

Anyathabhava. "Swabhava" means

attribute of the Jeeva. The Attribute of Jeeva is called 'Dharma Bhutha

Gyana [ DBG]'. The DBG varies

from 0 to infinity. In human beings, this DBG is limited due to its past

deeds. In the case of Paramathma,

it is infinity. The DBG varies from individual to individual and again,

depends on Poorva Karma or past deeds.

In conclusion, the transformation in Jeevas is only with respect to DBG as

a result of which they are able

to perceive the objects around them.

 

Swami will continue to talk in English about the remaining Adhikaranas in

the current Pada and will move

on to the next Pada.
