D.: Where does this smriti speak of Isvara, jiva and jagat? M.: In its statement Sohamidam, i.e., He-I-this, 'He' means the unseen Isvara; 'I' means the jiva parading as the ego, the doer etc.; 'this' means all the objective Universe. From scriptures, reasoning and experience (sruti yukti anubhava) it is clear that the jiva, Isvara and jagat are only mental projections. 28-29. D.: How do reasoning and experience support this view? M.: With the rise of mind in waking and dream, the latencies come into play, and the jiva, Isvara and jagat appear. With the subsidence of the latencies in deep sleep, swoon etc., they all disappear. This is within the experience of everyone. Again when all the latencies are rooted out by knowledge, the jivas, Isvara and the jagat disappear once for all. This is within the experience of perfectly clear-sighted great sages established in the non-dual Reality, beyond the jivas, Isvara and jagat. Therefore we say that these are all projections of the mind. Thus is explained the effect of Maya. ....Advaita Bhoda Deepika. So really the end result is Ajatavada and it didn't happen at all..............ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
