PARABRAHMA SUTRAS (101-103)

101. Vargottame ekshaashruteh dhutah gunah Brahmasutraat.

Translation: All the merits of the space are thrown away by the Vedic statement, which says that God wished to create the world and this is in Brahmasutra. Here, space is Brahman due to its greatness in category.

Explanation: Space is called as Brahman because it is the greatest in the universe but it cannot be God for philosophers, though it is God for all atheists and scientists. The reason is due to the single defect that space cannot wish to create the universe as said in Veda. In Veda it is said that God wished to create the universe. By this single point, all the merits of the space are thrown away in the Brahma Sutra (Ekshaternaashabdam…). Therefore, space is called as Brahman in the sense that it is greatest among all the items of creation and the word Brahman here does not indicate space as God.

102. Gito matantaropi nohyaapadakriyaabhiravatirnah.

Translation: As per Gita and also as per the other religion also, the human incarnation supports through unimaginable miracles, which should not exist if imaginable space is God.

Explanation: We are establishing this point not simply based on the theoretical statement in Veda. It has logic and experience also as supporting evidences. If space is God, there should be no unimaginable concept existing in the world. Since, God or space is imaginable, there is no place for the existence of unimaginable point in the world. The human form of God and several devotees of God also perform miracles which are unimaginable and which are experienced in the world. Scientists and atheists always oppose these miracles to save their basic concept of primordial energy to be God. The source of all these miracles is unimaginable power for which the source is unimaginable God. Thus, God in human form arrives in the world to give logical evidence to be experienced for the existence of unimaginable power of God and thereby to prove the existence of unimaginable God. In Gita, Krishna said that He demonstrates the statement of spiritual knowledge of scripture (Vedantakrut…). In Christianity also, Jesus said that He came to fulfill the statement of scripture.

103. Atmaapi parabrahma prakaranatarkaat nityatanumadavataaraat cha.

Translation: In the same Vedic statement, the word Atman stands for God due to logic of context and due to the only possible human soul always associated with a body in the human incarnation.

Explanation: The source of the space was also denoted by the word Atman in Veda (Atmana akashah…). Here, based on the context the word Atman should be taken to mean God. If you take the soul of ordinary human being as God, it cannot generate the space in the real world from which the entire universe is evolved. Moreover, the human incarnation indicates the human body containing the soul as the medium for God. The only expression for God to enter the world is the human soul along with the human body. The human soul does not exist independently without the body even after the death. After death also, the soul attains energetic human body to go to the upper worlds. In this world no soul is seen without materialized body. Hence, the human soul indicates the soul with its gross body always associated with it. Thus, the usage of the word Atman to mean God is perfectly justified from all angles.
