Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Dear devotees, I invite responses for the following question. A Vaishnava friend of mine asks: Why is the relationship between BhagavAn and His Saktis "achintya" (inconceiveble) - Is it because both are different and simultaneously non-different in their essential nature {ie. A logical Contradiction Or Impossibility exists in calling two different substances as even essentially same and non-different => Achintya ; ex: If one says that Flower and its attribute smell are different due to their essential nature and equally non-differnt too due to their essential nature - Its logically not possible}. If BhagavAn and His Saktis are only different in their essential nature, whats the need of calling the relationship as "achintya", when it is easily conceivable ? Inconceivability Or achintyatvam arises only when there is a logical contradiction. Any responses are appreciated. Especially appreciated would be quotes from shaastra and/or Srila Prabhupada's commentary. yours, S.
