Thoughts on Awareness by Nisargadatta Maharaj - - -

[Guest guest]

Creation is compared to day-dream in which, whole dream is in full control of

dreamer. In the day-dream, ignorance is under the control of dreamer as he is in

awakened state only. Actually, Lord is Nirguna. He is the creator of qualities

and so He will not be under the control of qualities. Such Nirguna Brahman is

called Parabrahman. But, when the same Nirguna Brahman enters in some medium

like human body, becomes human incarnation and exhibits qualities. He is now

called Saguna Brahman i.e., Brahman with qualities. But here also He exhibits

the qualities but is not under the influence of qualities. Where as human beings

are full under control of their qualities.

 

Creation is Mithya to Lord but not to the human beings. Ex: Sankara proved it

when He entered Mandana Misra's house even though the door was not opened. So

Creation is Mithya to Lord but not to human beings. Likewise Krishna lifted

Govardhana, Infact all the miracles performed by human incarnations can be

explained through this. Creation is materialized with respect to human beings

only but simultaneously remain as dream with respect to Lord. This means,

creation is not a materialized object in front of Lord. If it is materialized

object in front of Lord, how can you compare creation with day-dream. Dream of

Lord, simultaneously materializing with respect to human beings is called

Will-Materialization and is possible to Lord only.

 

Lord or Parabrahman first created Mula Maya and from this Mula Maya whole

creation came out. Veda says 'Tat tejah ...' & 'Atmanah Akasaha..', which mean

Lord first created energy and space. Hence, this Mula Maya can be considered as

a space with very weak distribution of energy. Our imagination cannot cross the

limits of this space. Even the cosmic radiation in the universe also suggests

that the whole space can be considered as a weak distribution of energy. But

even this whole Mula Maya is also unreal for Lord because it is also His

imagination only.

 

Lord is completely unimaginable and so the creation of Mula Maya cannot be

known. The link or process of production between God and space (Mula Maya) is

also unimaginable like God. This link is beyond space and God is beyond this

link. The space is called as Mahat. The link is called as Avyaktam which means

unimaginable.

 

Ex: A person in the imagination of a day dreamer, cannot cross that

imagination where as the dreamer is outside the imagination. That is why Lord is

completely unimaginable to human beings who are part and parcel of His

imagination or dream.

Isn't there also that which is known as the Parabrahman, which is

beyond/prior to consciousness (which is of the food body). Or is the

Parabrahman, which is beyond the 4th state and called turyatita, also

that which you refer to as Awareness?
