THE SATRAS - II |
|
| He gives
unambiguous expression of this faith: Prakriti Purusa duiro niyanta Madhava Samastare atmat Hari parama bandhava "Madhava is the guide of both Prakriti (Matter) and Purusha (Mind); Hari is the most faithful friend of all." Sankaradeva accepts as ultimate three kinds of substance, matter (acit), soul (cit) and God (iswara). According to him, the subtle jivas and the subtle material powers of the universe emanate from Paramatman from whom both conscious and the unconscious parts of the universe sprang forth. In the cosmic pattern of Sankaradeva, though Jivatma emanate from Paramatma, both are not conceived as identical and co -extensive. They have their independent entities. In spite' of their independent existence, Jivatma and Paramatma are interrelated. In the process of unfolding the Brahman, Maya shrouds the happiness and joy that are inherent in the real nature of Jivatnia. |
