PARABRAHMA SUTRAS (73-76)

73. Srushtirakarmakakriyaiva shivanrutyam.

Translation: The creation is a work without object and hence is called as the dance of God Shiva.

Explanation: There are two types of works. One is objectless work (Akarmakakriyaa…) and the other is work with object (Sakarmakakriyaa…). Rama killed Ravana. In this statement the verb is with object. The verb is the work of killing and the object is Ravana. Rama walks. In this statement the verb is the work of walking, which has no object. Now in the absolute plane, even the primordial energy, which is the ultimate cause of the creation, is proved to be a form of work only. Hence, the entire creation, which is only the different modified forms of primordial energy, becomes work only. Now, this work of creation has no object because the entire creation consisting of all objects has become work. There is no object or entity leftover, which is not work. But remember, this state is the absolute plane and not the relative plane in which we are experiencing certain forms of work as objects and certain other forms of work as work only. Therefore, in the absolute plane, no object is leftover and hence the entire creation becomes the work without object. When we say that somebody is dancing, the work of dancing is without object. Therefore, this entire creation is stated to be the dance of God Shiva.

74. Ekaadvitiyam paramaarthe shruteh.

Translation: In the absolute plane, one remains without second, as per Veda.

Explanation: In the absolute plane, we have concluded that the entire creation is only the dance of God, which is the work without an object. The worker or working element or the entity that performs this work of dance or creation is God Himself. Due to the absence of any object, God is said to be one subject without second in the absolute plane. This is mentioned in Veda (Ekamevaadvitiyam Brahma).

75. Bhraantakartrunaam sadanubhavosmakam vyavahaare.

Translation: In the relative plane, the experience of entities exists, even though in reality they are illusions only.

Explanation: In the relative plane, which consists of the experience of souls in this world, you should not drag the absolute plane and get confusion. As long as you are in the relative plane, you cannot cross the ultimate illusion of primordial energy as explained above and hence, you can never touch the absolute plane. Hence, the concept of illusion cannot be mentioned in the relative plane, when you are experiencing an entity even though you have realized it as illusion. Since, your experience is not cancelled by the illusion; the illusion is only realized but not experienced.

76. Asti mulamaayaayaa api vyavahaare.

Translation: Even in the relative plane, the illusion created by primordial energy could not be experienced.

Explanation: Even the illusion created by primordial energy in the case of the experience of solid state of matter, could not be experienced, even though it is realized by science. As said above, even though science proves that the closely packed atoms in the solid state of matter contain very large vacuum, the penetration of finger is resisted by the opposing force created by the revolution of sub atomic particles in the matter. This experience of resistance to the finger is misunderstood as the solid state by illusion. Therefore, in the relative plane itself, you have realized the worker of resistance as the primordial energy but you are unable to overcome the illusion and you are feeling a different experience of solid state. When you are unable to overcome the illusion created by a known worker like primordial energy, how can you overcome the illusion created in the case of primordial energy, in which the worker being the unimaginable God is never realized?
