Bhat Vice Chancellor S-VYASA Deemed to be University, Bengaluru ( ) n Swantae=ip prSyaeÉyil¼< svRÇ ih äüsUÇm!-3-2-11 Na sthänato'pi parasyobhayaliìgaà sarvatra hi (Brahmasütram-3-2-11) Meaning: Not on account of (difference of) place also two-fold characteristics can belong to the Highest; for everywhere (scripture teaches It to be without any difference). This particular Adhikarana (domain) is for Brahma Vastu is also said to be all-controlling in revision of Atma Vastu (entity), individual soul some context; in others it is said there are no two in other words universal soul which is called things at all. So, the statements by Upanishads if ‘Tvam Padaartha’ in Upanishads. Jiva (individual) projected in different tones, have to be examined is nothing but Brahma Vastu (ultimate reality) well. Therefore, regarding an object which is has two forms in Upanishads; Savikalpa (with described having self-contradicting nature, attributes) and (without attributes). Nirvikalpa naturally a doubt arises whether the object is with Brahma with the features and manifested qualities qualities or without. - Sarva Karma, Sarva Kama, Sarva Gandha, Sarva Rasa - are synonyms for the same object, indirectly Is a being referred to as ‘theory of everything’ indicating the features such as almighty, all- beyond everything’? Hence, the questions, inclusive, omnipresence, omniscience and whether it has attributes or is it beyond attributes? omnipotence etc. On the other hand, Brahma ikimd< sàpÂ< in:àpÂm! ? sivkLp< inivRkLpm!? sakar< Vastu is reported to be neither small nor big, inrakarm! ? - are the popular expressions in Shastras. neither gross nor subtle, neither short nor long. What is it? How is it? Sutrakara Vyasa Maharshi says, ( ) Aêpved ih tTàxanTvat! äüsUÇm!-3-2-14 Arüpaveda hi tatpradhänatvät (Brahmasütram-3-2-14) Meaning: Verily Brahman is only formless on account of that being the main purport (of all texts about Brahman). This is Siddhanta Sutra (affirmative, assertive) sound), Asparsham (not an object of touch), Arupam of this Adhikarana as an answer to all the Purva (not an object of vision), Avyayam (without decay) Pakshas (opponent) and queries. Brahma cannot etc, negation of all qualities and properties, as if have all these worldly forms, norms, attributions, it is a nihilistic idea.
