PARABRAHMA SUTRAS (174-175)

174. Atmavichaaralabdhamulaprakrutisaapekshakanityatvam aamukham siddhaantasya gitah.

Translation: The relative eternality of the primordial energy established in the self analysis is an introduction through an example, to the final concept as said in the Gita.

Explanation: Deep self-analysis can touch the primordial energy as the ultimate basis. This primordial energy can be assumed as God because it is relatively eternal in comparison to its modifications, which are the items of creation. Hence the concept of differentiation between the really eternal God and the really non-eternal creation, can be introduced through the concept of differentiating the relatively eternal primordial energy from the relatively non-eternal modifications of the primordial energy. Hence, the ultimate primordial energy, called as self, is obtained in the self-analysis and this is relatively eternal compared to the rest of creation. This can be treated as a training through an example for the ultimate concept. This principle is followed by the Gita, which introduces the relatively eternal self and the relatively non-eternal body in the beginning itself (Second Chapter of the Gita).

175. Adravyachit deveshu neha jadashaktim gamayati

Translation: The awareness in the angels without the solid nervous system cannot establish that the inert energy found in the living beings on the earth, is always associated with awareness.

Explanation: If you argue that since the awareness exists in the energetic bodies of angels, in which the solid nervous system is absent, and hence the inert energy has the possibility of awareness without the solid nervous system, your argument is straightly rejected by one simple point. According to your argument, if the inert energy can have awareness without the association of the solid state of matter, the inert energy seen in this world, does not exhibit awareness anywhere. In the case of angels, you have to accept the unimaginable technology of the unimaginable God to generate awareness. The unimaginable technology itself indicates the existence of the unimaginable component in it and thereby establishing the existence of unimaginable God. In fact, in angels the energetic body has a nervous system of matter which is highly subtle beyond our perception. Even if we establish the inert energy having awareness through its unimaginable power, as God, the same inert energy in living beings requiring nervous system for the generation of awareness cannot be concluded as God, based on the same argument itself. Hence the possibility of inert energy having awareness is ruled out as far as the practical perception of this creation (human beings) is concerned.
