Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Question: You said when Chaitanya enters. Does it mean that Chaitanya was not present there before? If so, does it not amount to saying that Chaitanya is not present everywhere? Answer: In the example of Ghataakaashaí (space in the vessel), did space really enter in to the vessel? No. Still we think that it did. Similarly, even here Chaitanya did not really enter. Because of the limitations of the intellect, it was thought that Chaitanya entered in that particular body. Because this notion is caused by erroneous thinking, it is called as Bhrama (delusion). In the absolute sense, there is no transaction such as entering. It is only in the mundane sense that we say that such transaction has taken place. This is true only as far as the mundane state. In the Paramarhta Dasha (Paramartha = absolute, Dasha = state, there is only one Atma. In the other state (called as Vyavahaarika Dasha = Mundane state), there are several Jeevatmas."
