PARABRAHMA SUTRAS (126-128)

126. Anuhyam maayayaa parabrahma ghanaabhaave.

Translation: If the solid state is absent, the existence of awareness must be proved in unimaginable way and this unimaginable component is God.

Explanation: If you say that awareness existed in the beginning of creation even without nervous system, logically it is impossible. Then you have to say that awareness must have existed in unimaginable way. This means that you have accepted the existence of unimaginable component in the beginning of creation, through which only, the possibility of existence of awareness without nervous system can be justified. Either you have to justify through logic or through unimaginable way. The path of logic is closed due to absence of solid state of matter in the beginning of creation. The only way left over is the unimaginable path, for which the unimaginable component is to be accepted. This unimaginable component is called as God by us and is denoted by the word Atma in Veda (Atmana aakaashah…).

127. Naadyaadhaarajivaatmano bhinnam.

Translation: This unimaginable awareness is totally different from the imaginable awareness, which depends on the functioning of nervous system.

Explanation: You cannot say that the awareness present in the human body is the same awareness that existed in the beginning of creation. Both are totally different from each other. The awareness in the human body is based on the function of nervous system and is imaginable by logic. But the awareness in the beginning of creation is unimaginable due to the absence of solid human body and solid nervous system in it. Hence, you cannot say that the imaginable self existing in the human body is the unimaginable God.

128. Kaarakajadashakterabhaavah praak.

Translation: In the beginning of creation, there is no space or inert primordial energy, which can be treated as entity to do the special work or awareness.

Explanation: The awareness is only a work and not an entity. In the human body the awareness is the work of inert energy in the functioning nervous system. Similarly, the awareness in the beginning of creation must be the work of some entity only. Such entity must be God and cannot be the inert energy, since neither inert energy nor nervous system existed before the beginning of creation of space.
