Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “The power of Vikshepa Shakti, which causes plurality (which is responsible for showing plurality, which is in reality non-existent) operates in the following manner: He who assumes the body of Kaarana Samashti is called as Ishwara. He who assumes the body of Sookshma Samashti is called Hiranyagarbha. He who assumes the Shareera of Sthoola Samashti is called Vaishwanara. One who is collectively present (as a common factor) in all the three is called Ishwara. Similarly, in Vyashti - one who assumes Kaarana Vyashti Shareera is called Praajna. One who assumes the Shareera of Sthoola Vyashti is called Vishva. One who is collectively present (as a common denominator) in all the three is called Jeeva. Thus, the same one is called by different names. The other name for Vaishvanara is Virat. Brahma, the creator is an internal part of it. Vishnu, the sustainer is the internal part of Hiranyagarbha. Rudra, the annihilator is the internal part of Ishwara. There is another Hiranyagarbha. He is the very first Jeevi. All these names and this plurality arose due to Adhyaroopa. Therefore, understand the substratum of all these - i.e., understand Sat-Chit-Ananda."
