Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Namaste Respected Members, My teacher has used both the dancer/dance and spider/web metaphor to illustrate that Ishvara is both the 'material and efficient' cause of the jagat. Does any member know of a specific place in any text where either or both of these analogies are used in this way, particularly the dancer/dance illustration Thank you so much.
