Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Brahman and the world In proclaiming that ‘consciousness is Brahman’, as an aphoristic statement, Vedanta essentially provides a fundamental definition for Brahman. Brahman being infinite, it cannot be defined since whatever that can be defined becomes an object, and thus limited by other objects. Object is different from the subject and that which is objectified can only be inert entity, jadam. But the definition provided by Vedanta is therefore not meant for objectification, since it is the very consciousness that cannot be objectified. Then what is the meaning of this so called aphoristic statement “consciousness is Brahman’, if one cannot objectify or even meditate on it. Careful analysis therefore indicates that it is also a pointer to arrive at the knowledge of Brahman by negating all that which is inert as not Brahman – all that which can be objectified as ‘this’ and ‘this’ is not Brahman. One cannot say ‘this is consciousness’ or ‘this is Brahman’, since the very statement makes it as inert entity, which is not Brahman. This is the reason why ‘science’ cannot objectively study consciousness, as some of scientists are attempting to do, since the very study makes it an object and thus different from ‘consciousness’. We have discussed that the inert object or even the world cannot be established without being aware of by a conscious entity. That is, inert should be within the consciousness, for one to be conscious of the inert. The statement is similar to that an object should be flooded by light for one to see it. Hence, the inert has to be pervaded by the consciousness or within the consciousness, if one is conscious of the inert. If one is aware of the world which is infinite, then the consciousness because of which one is aware of the world should be infinite too. -Sir, I do not understand this concocted logic. You say world is infinite on one side and on the other side, you say consciousness is infinite. In addition consciousness should pervade the inert, if one is conscious of the inert. How can you have two infinite entities diagonally opposite to each other and one pervading the other? In addition, you have also not explained how Brahman who is of the nature of infinite consciousness can be cause for an inert universe. All you have established so far is that inert entity cannot exist independent of the consciousness. You have also mentioned that Brahman cannot be the creator also since creation is an action and infinite cannot act. At the same time Brahman is supposed to be the both the material and intelligent cause for the universe. What exactly is the relation between consciousness, Brahman, and the Universe which is inert? OK. You caught me. Please follow me closely. Let us go step by step and everything should ultimately fit in. First, we will use a rational analysis and then the scriptural analysis. Knowledge of an object: We now know that without consciousness, the existence of the world cannot be established. World has two components – one is the finite objects and the other is the subtler one, space, which is infinite. There is also a third one that is part of the universe which arises with interaction of Universe with the mind – the time concept. Understanding of the Universe therefore involves not only understanding of the objects, Space as well as time concept. Thanks to Einstein, he showed that both space and time are relative or essentially related. Movement in space creates time and movement in time creates space. Space and time somehow are interlinked with the mind. Let us analyze these slowly. Object – Does it really exist? Existence of the object is intimately related to the knowledge of the object. I cannot talk about the existence of any object without the knowledge of its existence, if not physically at least conceptually. Therefore object is (is-ness is associated with its existence), means knowledge of the existence in terms of ‘the object is’. Let us illustrate this with an example. Let me ask you, ‘Can you bring the ‘gaa gaa buu bu’ that you have in your room?’ – ‘What the hell is this ‘gaa gaa buu bu’ that I have in my room? What is that weird stuff, gaa gaa buu bu, anyway, and what is it doing in my room?’ – ‘Well, I do not know what it is or what it does either, but I heard that you have it in your room. Can you bring it?’- ‘You are crazy, you are asking me to bring something neither you nor I know what it is.’ – This crazy conversation is just to point out that we cannot talk of the existence of an object, without the knowledge its existence. Hence world is or the world exists means I or some conscious entity has the knowledge of its existence. Thus, knowledge and existence of an object go together. They, in fact, are essentially the ‘chit’ and ‘sat’ aspects of Brahman. What is knowledge? Interestingly, ‘knowledge’ cannot be defined. All I can talk about is ‘knowledge of’- of this or that which is nothing but knowledge of objects. For example, knowledge of Chemistry, knowledge of Physics, knowledge of Vedanta, and knowledge of the World. All that is informative knowledge. He is very knowledgeable means he has lot of information stored in his memory. Can I define knowledge devoid of any objects? Knowledge devoid of objects cannot be defined! Knowledge devoid of objects is nothing but the knowledge of the ‘subject’, I, which cannot be defined. Why ‘I’ cannot be defined? Because, any definition is objectification, and ‘I am’ is the subject that cannot be objectified. At the most one can define ‘I’ only by means of a negative statement; ‘I’ is that, which is not subject to objectification’. – Oh! This is all intellectual. I am interested only in Self-realization, not in this mind-boggling logic. – Existence of I and therefore knowledge of I is neither intellectual nor non-intellectual – it is factual knowledge. That I am a man is not intellectual understanding – it is a factual understanding. And it is not by accident that it is the same definition that we can give to Brahman. Therefore pure knowledge devoid of any object is the ‘consciousness’ that I am. I am conscious of all the objects that I know. I am also self-conscious, as we discussed before, which is not a knowledge of … but pure knowledge. In other words that is my very nature or swaruupa laxaNa of myself – which Vedanta calls as ‘chit’ swaruupam. I am the nature of consciousness. This statement should not be a statement of thought at the intellect level but clear understanding that I am conscious entity because of which I am even conscious of this statement of thought. We have already defined that consciousness is infinite and it is Brahman. I am also of the nature of consciousness. Another identity relation ‘I am Brahman’ should follow. But the problem is, I am not infinite like Brahman, at least I do not feel like I am infinite. I will be deluded if I think I am infinite, while being finite. I am limited by this universe of objects, all the time. In fact, I am limited by space, time and by other objects in the universe. In fact, that is my fundamental problem - the limitations that I experience all the time. And you say I am Brahman – how can that be? I am not the object – neti, neti – etc that you mentioned before – I am not this and not this – and that is how I am supposed to arrive at myself. This means I am different from this and this. Being different from all this, this, and this, I am limited by all the objects, nay the whole world, since they are all different from me. At the same time you say I am Brahman, the all pervading infinite consciousness. There seems to be some internal contradiction here. Please explain. We stated that the existence of an object ‘out there’ depends on the knowledge of its existence. Knowledge of the object, however, involves a knower, the conscious entity that I am, and the object that is being known and the process of knowing which involves a pramaaNa, the means of knowledge. Knowledge can only takes places in the intellect. Let us examine closely the mechanics of how the knowledge takes place. Objects have attributes that can be measured by our five senses. Eyes can only see form and colors, nose the smell, tongue the taste, ears the sound and skin the texture (soft or hard etc). These are attributes only and not substantive, which is the locus for these attributes. None of the senses can grasp the substantive of the objects (substantive is the matter that the object is made up of). Perception therefore involves sense input to the mind. Mind gathers the input from the sense, integrates all the input and projects an image in the mind with all the attributes it has gathered (form, color, smell, texture, etc). This is the cognitive process that occurs in the mind. The cognized image is then compared with the previous images stored in the memory by the intellect. If there is match, then the object is recognized (re-cognized). During the learning process, mother shows a child a cow and says that is a cow. The child stores not only the image but also the name for that form or image. Next time when mother shows another cow which has a different color, child starts understanding the common features of the two cows (called jaati) as well as individual (vyakti) differences between the cows (one is black and the other white, etc). That is how the knowledge of objects are gathered and stored in the memory bank. What are perceived are the attributes through the five sense input. An image is formed in the mind using the sense input. The image is stored in the memory along with a name associated with that image. Thus we have a name and form (naama and ruupa) associated with stored image of an object. Next time when the child sees a cow, he immediately recognizes it as a cow, based on his memory. Mental images are nothing but thoughts in the mind. If someone says a word ‘cow’, immediately an image of a cow is brought in from the memory, even when there is no cow outside. The name cow and the image cow are now intimately associated with each other, as both are stored in memory. All are thoughts. What I think about myself is also images of myself as I am this or I am that, etc which are again nothing but thoughts. This is also the form of my ego. What I project about myself in all my transactions is also image of myself as I see myself, or sometime what I want others to see myself. All our transactions are at these image levels. This is all part of vyavahaara or transactional self which is different from my true self. My true self is the consciousness that I am because of which I am aware of all these transactions at the image level. Descartes statement ‘I think, therefore I am’ – is essentially egotistical self that I am which is related to the images of myself in the mind. The recollection of the image of a cow from the memory based on the word ‘cow’ is called pratyabhijna. I can only recollect what I have stored in my memory. What I store in my memory is based on the knowledge of the objects gathered through various means of knowledge (pramaaNa). Thus our life runs at this thought level all the time. When I say the object is ‘out there’, it follows from the above description of the cognitive processes that there is an image of the object in the mind and that it is the image as ‘a thought’ that I am conscious of. When I perceive the object, it is important to note that I do not perceive the substantive of the object. Vishishtaadvaitins as well as dvaitins wrongly assume that one perceives the substantive too when the senses gather the attributes, since substantive is inseparable from their locus. Mind makes an inferential statement which is established by experience that attributes cannot exist with out a substantive. Therefore it is inferred image of the object as perceived through the senses that ‘there is an object out there with these attributes’. The reason we cannot also perceive the substantive is in tune with the Vedic assertion that substantive is nothing but Brahman, since Brahman is the material cause for the universe and Brahman cannot be perceived. This is categorically stated again and again by Vedanta, that there is nothing (no thing) other than Brahman (neha naanaasti kinchana), and in deed every thing is nothing but Brahman (sarvam khalvidam brahma).

In my opinion V.Advaita is not like Dvaita. It is closer to Advaita as it accepts the upAdAna kAraNa of Brahman. The difference is shown as a prakAra or amsha or shareera of Brahman! Prakriti is the Shakti of Brahman and jIva is an amsha or shareera of Brahman. Thus primary meanings have been taken from the bhEda and abhEda vakyAs Of vEda. >Mind makes an > inferential statement which is established by > experience that attributes cannot exist with out a > substantive.

Brahman creates this jagat as food. Therefore it exists for the enjoyment of Brahman. In V.advaita, the substance of jIva belongs to and is owned by Brahman just like Shareera belongs to and owned by the Atma. nEha nanAsti actually means jagat as a sense object is not the "other". Jagat as food arises from the fire of VaishvAnara! It should therefore be returned back to Him in the form of yagnya. All senses/sense objects therefore have to be offered as havis in the fire of the universal spirit of Brahman! The jiva or purusha and the material jagat or prakriti are definitely different. But they are not disconnected. Every perception establishes that relation or yOga between purusha and prakriti. Therefore there must be a third entity that is different from both to establish the relation. That third entity is Brahman who is the antaryAmi or soul of both! Thus in V.Advaita the reality of prakriti, jiva and Brahman are accepted and the difference and relation are both established as shareera-shareeri.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Shree Suresh PraNAms. Thanks for your comments on the V. Advaita. I do agree that V.Advaita accepts Brahman as the material cause for the universe, unlike dwaita philosophy. What I was referring to is relationless-relation between substance and the attributes, apRithak Siddhi, which is emphasized by V.advaita. This is in contrast to the advaita where Brahman, the consciousness, alone is the material cause for the universe. This is where the mithyaatma vaada is rooted in terms of the invalidity of the reality of the objects or the world. The world is of course more than at the thought level of the jiiva as emphasized in Mandukya - I am going to address some of these issues in coming posts when I discuss about the microcosm and macrocosm aspects along the laya and pralaya at individual and collective levels. Ultimately everything should fit in scripturally as well as logically. Hari Om!

On the other hand, knowledge of any objects can not be gained unless they do exist in reality. `Knowledge of Objects' is different from `Knowledge of its Existence' and which in turn different from `Existence of Objects' While former two are items of our knowledge, the later is the item of reality. One needs to clearly distinguish the subtle difference between them. >Let us examine closely > the mechanics of how the knowledge takes place. > Objects have attributes that can be measured by our > five senses. How did you know there is such thing as `object' and they have such thing as `attributes'? Is it an assumption of a fact? Your below argument is entirely based on above premise. >Eyes can only see form and colors, nose > the smell, tongue the taste, ears the sound and skin > the texture (soft or hard etc). These are attributes > only and not substantive, which is the locus for these > attributes. None of the senses can grasp the > substantive of the objects (substantive is the matter > that the object is made up of). If so, your initial basis (that `Objects have attributes that can be measured by our five senses') is not valid and just an assumption, just like Vishishtaadvaitins & Dvaitins as you accuse. > During the learning process, mother shows a child a > cow and says that is a cow. The child stores not only > the image but also the name for that form or image. > But, how did child know so & so is its `mother' in the first place? As such `mother' could as well be another input image sensing by child's sensory organs, and thus has no `substantive` reality ?! > When I say the object is `out there', it follows from > the above description of the cognitive processes that > there is an image of the object in the mind and that > it is the image as `a thought' that I am conscious > of.

I hope members from other schools would appreciate this cause. Hari Hari Hari Bol!!! bhaskar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an assumption of a fact?" Frankly, Sada-ji I was also stumped by your wordings. Isn't it more accurate to say that all we know through pratyaksha is attributes only? Dvaitins would make us believe that an object is identical with its attributes. Therefore, for a human, an apple is identical with its red color. For a dog, the same apple is identical to its gray color. For some lower species with fewer senses, the same apple is identical to something entirely different. However, based on advaita epiestemology can we ever make any claim about the existence of any 'object' other than the attributes we directly perceive? praNAm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordingly I am also not interested in dialectic and digress from the topic.

I know very well that your good self is least interested in any dialectic arguments as such.

In order for us to say "all we know through pratyaksha is attributes only", we need to know apriori that there is such thing as `attribute' which is different from another thing called `substance'. Given absence of perception of such two distinct things, we are not even in the position of saying we perceive `attributes only'. The keyword `only' applies only when we know there two things in question. Instead, our experience is, when we perceive an apple, we do not just perceive just `redness' or `sweetness' etc..; rather we perceive single unitary thing called `apple' at that locus, which is having multifaceted features such as `redness', `roundness', `sweetness', `hardness' etc etc..which we label them as `attributes' for our convention. Another interesting thing is, we also perceive some features of such single unitary thing changes along the time (such as green apple turn into red, or sour apple turn into sweet etc). We can not explain these changes in `attributes' without positing a constant entity called `substance'. However, we also perceive (and knows) that some attributes last as long as the substance itself. > Dvaitins would make us believe that an object is identical with its > attributes.

The explanation was always based on the day-to-day experience. As for as dogs and lower species concerned, how do we know they perceive something entirely different? At best we can say we do not know what they perceive. In the same line, one could always argue that since they do not know/perceive Brahman, Brahman does not exist in reality? All epistemological exposition is for us human only, for it is we are the one after the chatur-vida purushArtha in life. > However, based on advaita epiestemology can we ever make any claim about the > existence of any 'object' other than the attributes we directly perceive? > Yes, advaita epistemology can make claims about existence of `objects' or `substance' which are not currently perceptible. Such `substance' are called `atIndriya vastu' in general. In Advaitic context, it is substantive `Brahman' who is adhisTAna for this jagat. That part of epistemology (pramANa vichAra) which deals with Brahman as `atIndriya adhisTAna' is shabda-pramAna, which is shruti-pramAna. However, the very validity of the conclusion that `Brahman is adhisTAna' presupposes validity of premise shruti, which in turn can not be valid unless it is also an substance on its own turn without it being conceived as `attribute only'. This is because, shruti as shabda-pramANa gets its validity only because of it being apourushEya. ApoursuhEya implies it is uncreated and in turn that implies it is ever existent (anAdi) `substance' in its own turn. Regards, Srinivas.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Namaste Sri Srinivas ji. Your explanation is pretty much in line with standard dvaita interpretation. I understand that dvaita epiestemology is quite self consistent within itself and I do not have any issues with that. But you write: > As for as dogs and lower species concerned, how do we know they > perceive something entirely different? At best we can say we do not > know what they perceive. I think neither dvaitins nor advaitins are in a position to make any authoritative claim about this. The best person to ask about this is a biologist and at the current level of knowledge they do not seem to agree with you. Therefore, let us for the time being grant them a benefit of doubt. Let us assume that biologists know what they are saying when they claim that a dog perceives an apple as gray. If tomorrow they change their understanding, I will be happy to take back my argument. Moreover, it seems to me quite reasonable to conclude that a lower species with say only three sense of organs will 'perceive' attributes only along those three dimensions. It is quite a leap of faith to believe that a species that lacks a sense of smell still somehow perceives the attribute of an apple's smell. Though I cannot prove you wrong if you hold it otherwise. praNAm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Shree Sanjay Srivatsava, For some reason I missed your mail. I am taking from Shree Srinivas comments on yours. --- Srinivas Kotekal <kots_p > wrote: > Namaste, Sri. Sanjay Srivastava. > > Frankly, Sada-ji I was also stumped by your > wordings.

With the same respects I must say Sanjay your are absolutely correct. we know through pratyaksha the attributes only. That is the precisely the point I was making in that jumbled up words, hoping our chief moderator/editor would correct the language before it is stored in files. Of course attributes cannot be there without a locus. I argued that a mind makes an inference also that there must be an object out there since attributes cannot exist without an object out there. Shreenivas raised two points worth consideration - for the mind to make an inference, it should be based on vyaapti which itself is again based on pratyaksha. The second point of course is related to how the knowledge of objects occurs in the life forms where the mind is not evovled - this includes even in children. This is where the global mind or Iswara does come into picture and that involves macrocosom aspects or what scientifically termed as instinctive knowledge-base. To analyze this exactly only the dream-state is used by the Upanishads to establish the apparent reality to the universe of experiences. I do not want to get into these off-hand discussions on the topics. I will take up some of the objections as part my own presentation and will address the issues to the best I can. Shree Srinivas - with due respects to you - . My statement was factual and dwaitin's may have their justification and you could discuss that in other lists. This forum as Bhaskarji rightly pointed out is intended for advaitic view point and my arguments are within that scope. You are welcome of course to bring in logical contradictions that should be resolved. With this, I am going to continue my write-up with due consideration of the points that were raised. Hari Om!
