It lives (in contrast with lifeless matter). See Dvaita Commentary.]) lord of the body create for the world; nor even the bond between act and (its) fruit. It is Nature (svabh\u0101va<\/em>) that prevails.[2. Vide<\/em>, Bh: G\u012b: VI-5<\/a>, 6<\/a>; XIII-5<\/a>, 6<\/a>, 19<\/a> to 21<\/a>; and Theosophist<\/em>, Vol: VIII, p: 436.]’<\/span><\/p>\n The prabhu<\/em> is the ruler of the body=\u0101tma. By essence, he is above the influences of deeds (karma<\/em>) and abides in his own nature. This prabhu<\/em> is not the originator \u2014in the world or regions abounding in matter-bound existences, viz<\/em>., the four-fold divisions of deva, animal, human and immovable minerals etc., kingdoms \u2014of the several kinds of agencies (or authorships of acts) pertaining thereto, nor of actions themselves, emanating from those entities; nor of the links which connect act to act-born fruit, such as becoming a deva etc.<\/span><\/p>\n What is it, then, that does all this? It is the Nature that prevails.<\/em> By Nature is meant the material reminiscence or instinct (v\u0101san\u0101<\/em>). This kind of actorship etc., springs from union with matter in its forms of deva etc., fashioned by the chain of deeds generated in the immemorial past. The actorship etc., is also the result of the habit or instinct (v\u0101san\u0101<\/em>) of the mistaken notion that the forms of deva etc., do themselves constitute the \u0101tma.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence actorship (or authorship) of acts etc., \u2014which is the product of union with matter\u2014 is no essential characteristic of \u0101tma.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 5 verse 15<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 5 << Chapter 5 verse 13 SlOkam \u2013 Original na karthruthvam na karmANi lOkasya srujathi prabhu: | na karmaphalasamyOgam svabhAvas thu pravarthathE || word-by-word meaning prabhu: – the true nature of jIvAthmA which is not bound by karma lOkasya – for the variegated collection … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-5","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2411"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12560,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2411\/revisions\/12560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
