PARABRAHMA SUTRAS (71-72)

71. Jnaatrukarturanubhavo jadasharirasya.

Translation: In the case of awareness, the entity or worker is the inert body of the living being as experienced.

Explanation: When you are experiencing the awareness as the work and not as an entity, for work, there is always a simultaneous requirement of its worker or entity. Now in the case of awareness being experienced as work, what is the worker that is experienced? As per the experience, the entity of awareness that is experienced is the gross body of the living being. When a human being is aware of something, the entity or worker or working element is the inert human body itself. Hence, the above sutra is a support for this concept because the inert solid matter being experienced as entity is now correlated here to experience the inert solid matter, which is the human body in this case. Hence, the matter stands as a perfect entity in the experience of the relative world.

72. Kriyaarupamulashakteranubhavopi bhramah paramaarthe.

Translation: Even the primordial energy is a form of work only and its experience as inert energy is illusion, but this illusion is restricted to the absolute plane.

Explanation: We have proved that the matter is also a form of work and its experience as matter is illusion. Similarly, the inert energy, which is in the primary causal form as primordial energy is also a form of work only and its experience as energy is also illusion. But this illusion cannot be taken to be in the relative world, which is the experience of the human beings. Only in the absolute plane, which means the view of God, this primordial energy is treated as a form of work and an illusion. Here you must differentiate the case of matter from the case of primordial energy. In the case of matter, the illusion of the experience of solid state is due to the work of primordial energy. Thus, the worker is known in the case of matter in the relative plane itself. But if you take the case of primordial energy, it is realized as work but the worker is not realized in the relative plane because the primordial energy itself is the ultimate worker in the relative world. Hence, the worker of primordial energy can be only realized in the absolute plane and never in the relative plane. Hence, you cannot completely declare the primordial energy as an illusion since the worker of primordial energy is never realized in the relative plane. The worker of the primordial energy being realized as work is God Himself and since God cannot be realized in the relative plane, you cannot cross the illusion of primordial energy. Only God can cross this ultimate illusion of the primordial energy or Mula prakruti or Mula maya.
