Kshetra-kshetraaajnyavibhaga Yoga
Tatparya Nirnaya :- Jiva is established in the body. “Giving sleep to the Jiva established in the body, He remaining Himself without sleep, gives illumination to the sleeping one”, thus has been said in scriptures. “The worldly Jiva established in the body, is proud of his body. Sri Vishnu even though dwelling in every body is not called शरीरस्थ- established in body, because he has never any pride of that body. Experiencing the pleasures and pains is what makes one to be proud of his body. In the absence of such experiences, the Supreme Lord does not have any pride for the said body”. Because of His being without any beginning and without the (threefold) attributes, the Supreme Self is distinct from the Jiva. Especially the marks of the body being born etc. do not exist in the Supreme being. Only for the Jivas, they do exist, like the relationship of attributes like Satva etc. Everything is done by the Supreme self alone. Even then there is no attachment to Him. Even though there exist disputants, even though He performs every action, merits or demerits do not attach to Him. He being without birth or death or devoid of the Satva and such other attributes. Sri Vishnu is distinctive from all these being ever different from the Jiva. Therefore, नेति नेति - not this, not this etc. |
