rUpAdi-mattvAc ca viparyayo darzanAt

from possessing colour, taste... VaizeSik's atoms have odor, touch...;

and reverse, opposite; from observation

188) VaizeSik's Theory's further untenable, for its atoms have perceivable (saguN) qualities, yet opposite (nirvizeSa) is also seen in them.

aparigrahAc cAtyantam anapexA

from (orthodox sages) no support, acceptance; and/so altogether, disregard

190) Atomic Theory not favored by any scholarly, scientific saint, so avoid it.

Anything impersonal should b immediately rejected.

That is my personal opinion.

Any person wish 2 disagree?

itaretara pratyayatvAd iti - cenotpattimAtra nimittatvAt

Washington Mutual = one another; from one causing other; thus if; merely of origin, production; from there being efficient cause only

192) If it b said material world is caused by Avidya's mutual causality, ZrIla Baladev VidyAbhUSaNa says no; they r only efficient causes of immediate subsequent links.

asati pratijnoparodho yauga-padyam anyathA

non-being, pratijnA = stated fact; uparodhaH = contradiction; stepping together; were it not so

194) If cause ceases existence when effect begins, then admitted principle that Skandhas cause universe contradicts.

Otherwise cause & effect arise simultaneously.

prati-sankhyAprati-sankhyA nirodhAprAptir avicchedAt

(destruction) depending upon conscious entity's volition; destruction) not depending upon any voluntary agent

nirodhaH = cessation, breakdown aprapti = non-establishment; avicchedAt = no complete interruption

195) Nor can one establish 2 destruction sorts, volitional & non-volitional, for there's never any total extinction.

I heard all 8,400,000 species exist at all times on one planet or another.

ubhayathA ca doSAt

in either case, and from objections, imbalances

In both cases, there r substantial arguments, hence release idea is unestablishable.

antidisestablishmentarianism?

nAbhAva upalabdheH

not, never external objects' non-existence; due to being perceived, we r conscious of them

201) Ephemereal not without substance, 4 our senses bear testimony, witness daily.

This reminds me of ZrIla PrabhupAd saying:

"This temple room is beautifully decorated. If somebody says 'this is false'... no, this is not false, though it is temporary."

Bob Dylan also sang Gates of Eden:

"And the princess & the prince discuss what's real & what is not,

It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden"

vaidharmyAc ca na svapnA'divat

from distinct nature and not dreamlike: hypnotic nsuggestion, mirage, illusion

202) Awake-state ideas r unlike dream-state due to different mature.

In KRSNA Book VyAsadev/PrabhupAd give example:

During day we may see Gold & Mountain.

At night we may dream of a Golden Mountain.

No such mountain exists, at least not on this planet.

Everly Brothers sang:

When I want u in my arms

When I want u & all your charms

Whenever I want u all I have 2do is DREEEEAM, dREAM dREAM dREAM...

bUT IS IT A FACT?

Gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away...

I am here Tarun.

 

And oh.... you are getting to an interesting part now!

 

Can you save us the wait and tell us what you find in II.2.42

( Utpattyasambhavat ) and the verses around it. Ramanuja's commentary is interesting, and he crushes Sivanananda, which is odd considering he lived a thousand years before Sivanananda. But you see I don't have this section in my damaged copy of Govinda Bhasya so do you have Baladev's commentary to Utpattyasambhavat ?

Elastic Soul? to match our elastic sole slippers?

2.2.35 na ca paryAyAd apy avirodha vikArAdibhyaH

208) Nor would this contradiction be removed by ParyAya Theory, 4 then Soul would b liable/subject to change

accordingly

ParyAya = successive change = soul contracts & dilates (as do pupils & utter body parts) in proportion to occupied body.

avirodha = non-contradiction

dharmAviruddha kaunteya kAmo'smi bharataRSabha

He was truly a Great Soul" ( at least 6 feet 200 lbs worth)

Soul Train - the more the passengers, the longer it gets?

Did Jaina Eyre have kids? If so, what size was their souls at birth? age 7? 14?

antyAvasthitez cobhaya nityatvAd avizeSAt

due to permanency/permanence; and both; being permanent; on account of being same

dvaita/advaita; bheda/abheda

Final condition or released state non-different from worldly state because both r eternal, so this theory untenable.
