The Usual Unequality

The Atma entered in body is same for all humans, according to cosmology the strength of Atma being the same in every human body , all are equal . Now come to spirituality . When Vibhishon went to lord Rama, he tells to Rama… Sahaj pappriya tamas deha, jatha ulukahi tam par neha.Means O lord, my this body is full of sins , same as owl has the affection with darkness, here how body becomes dirty , this I explain with gita shloka…. Shrotram chakshuh sparshanam cha rasanam ghraanameva cha; Adhishthaaya manashchaayam vishayaanupasevate. Presiding over the ear, the eye, touch, taste and smell, as well as the mind, he enjoys the objects of the senses. Here ' he' is said for jeevatma [ Atma in body is called jeevatma ], so with the help of mann [ mind ] this Atma serves the body employing five senses [ indriyas ] and therefore being five senses the body can be of five types .This has been well defined in Vedas being five Varnas or say five types of men. So all are not equal.An example of usual unequality is seen in Ramcharitmanas . Sri Hanumanji says to Vibhishan…

Prat leya jo naam hamara , tehi din tahi na mile ahara .

Some devotees are such that they do not take food even as in case of Hanumanji and therefore he is called jitendriya . See what Krsn says…

Vishayaa vinivartante niraahaarasya dehinah
Rasavarjam raso’pyasya param drishtwaa nivartate.
The objects of the senses turn away from the abstinent man, leaving the longing
(behind); but his longing also turns away on seeing the Supreme.

And therefore the devotee is fully devoted to parmatma . This is not a matter of surprise as goswamiji writes…

Sumirat Ramahi tajahi jan , tran sam Vishay vilas .

Hanumanji wants his life for namjap and not for food , sitamata blesses him having all the physical pleasures where he lives .

Sthitam twamanushyanti bhogah sarve mamagyya .

However this does not envolve the caste system also

There in Krsn period only Varna arrangement was in the life.See Krsn when was in Gokul, he was a Gopal means Vaish varna , he when moved to Mathura and killed Kansa, became kshatriya varna again as chariot driver he followed the orders of Arjun and was Shudra varna , thereafter going to Dwarika, he was king and Kshatriya varna. Similarly Drona was Brahmin varna and became kshatriya varna when fought .Karna was shudra varna and when , made king by Duryodhana , he fought as kshatriya varna and when
his varna as shudra was challenged by Arjun . Shalya, the maternal uncle of Arjun was deployed as chariot driver of Karna , he followed the orders of Karna and acted as shudra varna .

PH of the Philosophy

The human knows nothing when he is born , but remembers all his doings good or bad when he is in the dying bed . He laments for his useless efforts done for his body nursing throughout his entire life span . He prepares to leave the body empty handed , this is the Philosophy of life , but, he, who cares for the PH of this material world , is a happy man . Krsn says...
Buddhiyukto jahaateeha ubhe sukrita dushkrite;Tasmaad yogaaya yujyaswa yogah karmasu kaushalam. Endowed with wisdom (evenness of mind), one casts off in this life both good and evildeeds; therefore, devote thyself to Yoga; Yoga is skill in action.
Goswamiji writes...
Vadi vasan binu bhushan bharu, Vadi virati binu brahma vicharu.Saruj sarir vadi bahu bhoga, binu hari bhajan janhi yag joga..
If the entire life is not dedicated to parmatma and to welfare of the mankind , the whole span of 100 yrs life lived by this body has gone to soil .

The Oneness

Vishishta Advaita [ Oneness with speciality ] is a term which says that Parmatma or Ishwar or Brahma can be experienced with it’s material prakriti and jeevatma .

Sarvabhootaani kaunteya prakritim yaanti maamikaam;
Kalpakshaye punastaani kalpaadau visrijaamyaham.
All beings, O Arjuna, enter into My Nature at the end of a Kalpa; I send them forth again
at the beginning of (the next) Kalpa!

Many people have been known to say at last time that ,O parmatma help me leave this body . It can be said that there is some divine power or say the part of conscious parmatma which resides in body other than jeevatma . It is also known that the germ of parmatma is in the body and not the parmatma itself . See the Vedmantra…

Dwa suparna sayuja sakhaya samanam vraksham parishswajate…mundkopanishad3/1; atharvveda 20/14

This all support the oneness of the Almighty .

Super soul, Science and Student

What Krsn says…Jnaanam te’ham savijnaanam idam vakshyaamyasheshatah;Yajjnaatwaa neha bhooyo’nyaj jnaatavyamavashishyate.Means there are three main terms 1. Gyan [ knowledge , spiritual vidya ] 2. Vigyan [ science , avidya ] 3.Agyan [ ignorance ]Here Lord Krsn reiterates on the study of Vidya and Avidya both. A man is ignorant if he does not know about Vidya but he is equally ignorant if he does know about Avidya also.See what Veda says…Andham tamah pra vishanti ye vidyamupaste. Tato bhuya eva te tamo ya uavidyayamratah yaj 12/40Believing in the super soul is equally important as believing in properties of matter,and believing in properties of matter is only important when believing in super soul is in mind.In totality we can conclude that Avidya is only useful when there is Vidya in mind and this overrules all the factors of ignorant mind , not being the super soul’s ONENESS.Vedmantra below is sufficient to prove the Atma, not being Parmatma…Yadagne syamaham twam twam va gha sya aham rig8/44/23These gita shlokas also confirm it…Mayaa tatamidam sarvam jagadavyaktamoortinaa;Matsthaani sarvabhootaani na chaaham teshvavasthitah.All this world is pervaded by Me in My unmanifest aspect; all beings exist in Me, but I donot dwell in them.Na cha matsthaani bhootaani pashya me yogamaishwaram;Bhootabhrinna cha bhootastho mamaatmaa bhootabhaavanah.Nor do beings exist in Me (in reality): behold My divine Yoga, supporting all beings, butnot dwelling in them, is My Self, the efficient cause of beings.;

The Transformation of Body

Avyaktaadeeni bhootaani vyaktamadhyaani bhaarata;
Avyakta nidhanaanyeva tatra kaa paridevanaa.
Beings are unmanifested in their beginning, manifested in their middle state, O Arjuna,
and unmanifested again in their end! What is there to grieve about?
COMMENTARY: The physical body is a combination of the five elements. It is perceived
by the physical eye only after the five elements have entered into such combination. After death the
body disintegrates and all the five elements return to their source. The body cannot be perceived
now. It can be perceived only in the middle state. He who understands the nature of the body and
human relationships based upon it will not grieve.

In between the life and death , the soul remains in the form of sacred one, which may be called as pitar or demigods . the life after this can also be called as reincarnation or transformation of body by the soul. Our Vedas refer as ,Ye satyaso havirado havishpa Indren devaih saratham dadhanah , agne yahi sahastram devvandaih pariah purvaih pitrbhirdharmsadbhihi
As per Vedanta every soul is independent one and attains the next body as per many factors..gita says smaran bhavan..at the time of death what is in the mind, case of a king turned saint with attachment to deer became deer [ jadabharat ].At the prematured death due to mishappenings , what was the cause , may be intentional or accidental . The soul is a part of parmatma so no question beyond cosmic law.

The Prakriti [ nature ]

As I have seen in rigveda and gita, only three Vedas are referred but yajurveda defines of four Vedas, so it is same as people say that there has been some addition etc.in mahabharat and other scriptures also . But as defined by ST.Augustle in Brief history of time by Stephon hawkin , the Ice age is assumed 10000 yrs. Bce . and the creation of universe at that time, our Vedas are also so old, hence I assume Vedas to be Apaurusheya [ not prepared by man ].Therefore Vedas can be considered to be the basic hindu scripture .Any explanation which is made by man in accordance with Vedas , but in hindu social boundaries is called vedantas and above social boundaries but taking Prakriti or nature in convention is called Vedastra: . Gita explains both vedantas and vedastras. According to gita the universe is made of two type of prakriti 1. jad prakriti and 2. chetan prakriti . Parmatma is the main cause of creation and destruction….. Bhoomiraapo’nalo vaayuh kham mano buddhireva cha; Ahamkaara iteeyam me bhinnaa prakritirashtadhaa. Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and egoism—thus is My Nature divided eightfold. Apareyamitastwanyaam prakritim viddhi me paraam; Jeevabhootaam mahaabaaho yayedam dhaaryate jagat. . This is the inferior Prakriti, Omighty-armed (Arjuna)! Know thou as different from it My higher Prakriti (Nature), the very life-element by which this world is upheld. Etadyoneeni bhootaani sarvaaneetyupadhaaraya; Aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayastathaa. Know that these two (My higher and lower Natures) are the womb of all beings. So, I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe. Now see that the sourse is the universe and there are souls , but this has the limited boundaries, if you go on adding from 1 to millions the total remains limited, therefore there is no question of Moksha of atmas, gita confirms life after death and in bet. Atmas remain in universe . If we take the case of parmatma as in above shloka parmatma exists even when universe is dissolved also, but limit exeeds the universe and it is unlimited and the atmas are freed or Moksha is attained. Veda says..Vishnoryat parmam padam .

The scientific creation


Prakritim purusham chaiva viddhyaanaadee ubhaavapi;
Vikaaraamshcha gunaamshchaiva viddhi prakritisambhavaan.
. Nature [ prakriti ] and Spirits [ living entities ] are perishable; and also that all modifications [ transformations ] are born with material body [ aggregate ] and the only living entity as Parmatma .
Etadyoneeni bhootaani sarvaaneetyupadhaaraya;
Aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayastathaa.
These two higher [ living ] and lower [ non living ] natures are the womb of all beings. And , Parmatma is the source of creation and dissolution of the whole universe.
Mayaa’dhyakshena prakritih sooyate sacharaacharam;
Hetunaa’nena kaunteya jagadwiparivartate.
Under Parmatma as supervisor, Nature produces the moving and the unmoving entities; because of this , the world revolves .
Mama yonirmahadbrahma tasmin garbham dadhaamyaham;
Sambhavah sarvabhootaanaam tato bhavati bhaarata.
.Prakriti as a womb is the great creation; in that Parmatma place the germ; thence, is the birth of all beings .


This all confirms the scientific inventions of findings as inert material body aggregates in Moon and Mars and also explains that only after the Will of Parmatma the nature [ prakriti ] and the spirits [ living entities ] shall appear . This also concludes that most of the shining planets and stars may have the life as Earth as well .
