THE VEDANTIC POSTULATE |
|
|
| Here it is
relevant as well as interesting to point out that the very first name among the thousand
names given to Iswara by Bhishmacharya is Viswam, the universe. The universe is Iswara in
visible form. The question standing over is whether there is a Mind behind it or not. The
believer finding a mind behind the conglomeration of matter making up Homo sapiens
presumes there is a Mind behind the universe. And that is Iswara. This is the vital
difference between the believer and the non-believer. It seems Emperor Marcus Aurelius came to this same conclusion of a universal mind
in his Meditations. The universal Mind is however not just an expanded human mined. It is
a different thing altogether. The human mind may help us vaguely to glimpse the
inscrutable nature of the Universal Mind, not more than that. Out of this postulate of the
Supreme Mind issue moral values, dharma and duty. |
