Tarun Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 1.3.1 dyubhyAdyAyatanaM sva-zabdAt dyu = heaven; bhu = earth; Adi = etc = the rest; Ayatanam = abode; sva = peculiarly its own; zabdAt = word source 65) Abode of heaven, earth etc (mentioned in Mundak Up) is verily Brahman, for particular term used about Brahman occurs therein.

Tarun Posted January 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 muktopadesRpya vyapadezAt released; creeping up to, resorting to; due to distinctly pointing out, declaration Sutra 65) Because it is declared this abode of Heaven & Earth is summit to which Released slowly approach (creep up). ================ SP heartily encouraged us by saying we can return BTG in this one life. Also in letters referring to JayAnanda, Kartikeya's mother etc. Still KRSNa's 7:19 words prevail : bahunAm janmanAm ante... sa mahAtma sudurlabhaH Same for MahAprabhu edict: ei brahmANDa bhramite kono bhAgyavAn jIva... bhakti-latA-bIja bIja does not equal janama saphala... ripened fruit God is not cheap.

Tarun Posted January 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 bheda vyapadezAt ca difference; due to pointing out; and 69) And because differences between JIva & BhagavAn r distinctly pointed out in that passage; ergo, JIva not abode of Heaven & Earth. Phrase "know Him alone as Atman" (II.2.5) clearly shows only Brahman is true Atman, separate from JIva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted January 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 One word sUtra meaning: From context also shown that JIva's neither Heaven no Earth abode. UpaniSad opens with question: kasmin tu vijnAte sarvam idaM vijnAtaM bhavati What is that through which, when known, all else becomes known?

Tarun Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 axaram ambarAnta dhRteH imperishable: Brahman; space/ether's end; due to support 74) "Inexhaustible, Unspoilable" referred to in Br Up 3.8.11 is Supreme Brahman, for we find it declared in this passage: He supports even spatial extent (everything up to ether). VedAnta - wisdom's end; ambarAnta = sky's end, circumference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted February 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 sA ca prazAsanAt that = quality supporting up to circumference; and, due to command 75) This supporting must refer to Brahman, because text says it is by command that such supporting takes place. Non-intelligent pradhAn cannot command. Neither baddha-jIv nor even mukta-jIv command up to ether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted February 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 One famous guru is now preaching that gurus can create universes. This verse seems to eliminate this idea. However, Nederland's Advaita dAs pointed out a verse which supports parSadas having all mystic siddhis. Planet creation is not amongst those aSTa-siddhis. And what to speak of UNIVERSE CREATION!!! Even Lord BrahmA does not & cannot create an entire universe. Of course ViSNu can empower anyone to do anything. That goes sans saying. But whether a particular acharya walking amongst us, with disciples using hammers & saws can do it all himself? simply at will? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted February 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 anya bhAva vyavRttez ca 76) Imperishable is not pradhAn nor jIva, for same text (Br Up III.8.11) we find attributes described which would exclude (by default) another nature than (any other nature except) Brahman. a) pradhAn is unconscious - non-intelligent b) jIva is not all-pervading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted March 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Ixati karma vyapadezAt saH seeing; object; on account of being designated; he He, Supreme Person, is meant in this Prazna UpaniSad V.2 passage as object of seeing, because of express declaration. Highest can apply only to Supreme Brahman, not Caturmukha BrahmA. Here, Brahmaloka does not indicate loka of BrahmA, but loka or condition of Brahman Himself.

Tarun Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 dahara uttarebhyaH = small due to subsequent arguments 78) Small ether in heart's lotus is Brahman, for subsequent arguments establish it to be so. Small ether is support of earth & heaven which could not apply to elemental ether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is seen in other texts too. There is also liNgam = inferential mark in this passage, proving Brahman is inferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 "itara parAmarzAt sa iti cet, na, asambhavAt" other one, that is jIva; due to reference; he = jIva; thus if not; because of possibility 82) If it b objected: reference to other as jIva in dahara passage exists, ergo, it means jIva; vaisnavas say no: for it's impossible epithets applied to dahara should =ly apply to jIva too. Chh Up 8.7.3 yields 8 epithets such as free from sin, free from decay... Can these apply to jIva jAgo jIvAtma? Indradev heard from Prajapati of a self free from sin, old-age... So these 8 r applicable to jIva too? VedavyAs goes deeper... AnePi and Lewsnic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 84) JIva reference in this section treating small ether has different object. alpa zruter iti ced tad uktam small; in scripture declared; thus, if; that, has been said 85) Just because dahara is described as being very tiny does NOT necessarily mean dahara = jIva. Reasons already given. During Times Square HarinAm SankIrtan we meet people who declare their way the only way. They cannot accept anyone else whoever appeared on this planet to be self-realized, transparent via media to God the Father save & except their favorite chosen one. Thus they miss out on all VedavyAs, Valmiki, Jayadev, MadhvAcarya, Bhaktivinod... came to give. They cannot even accept that Jesus Christ was Essene, ergo vegetarian, that He travelled to Egypt, Greece, Persia, India. They remain limited in their Messianic scope; some indeed befooled.
