Chapter 7<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 7 verse 4<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n apareyam itas tv any\u0101\u1e41 ‘But this (Nature) is inferior; know My other Nature, superior (than that), \u2014the j\u012bva (=soul), \u2014by which, O Strong-armed! this Universe is sustained.’<\/span><\/p>\n But this (i.e.<\/em>, matter-stuff) is My lower Nature. Know My other higher Nature which is different from that insentient Nature, the latter but contributing to the enjoyment of My other Nature, the sentient beings. This other higher Nature is the living Nature, forming a distinct class from that of the lower lifeless Nature. This higher Nature stands to the lower Nature in the relation of the enjoyer<\/em> (to the enjoyed<\/em>), and the higher Nature is further characterized by intelligence (absent in the lower Nature). (As the lower Nature [matter] is of Me<\/em>) so also is the higher Nature [soul] of Me<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n By this higher Nature, all this inert or non-intelligent Nature, \u2014the Universe\u2014 is upheld.[2. Verses 4 and 5 thus represent the Achit<\/em> and the Chit<\/em>, or the Objective and the Subjective aspects of \u012a\u015bvara (God). Vide<\/em>, footnote from 2.12<\/a>: \u012a\u015bvara is the term which, in preference, R\u0101m\u0101nuja uses to denote God, in all his philosophical discussions; Chit<\/em> being used for individual soul, meaning ‘sentient or intelligent or conscious’, and A-chit<\/em> for matter or that which is not<\/em> sentient, not<\/em> intelligent, not<\/em> conscious’. A-chit<\/em>, chit<\/em> and \u012a\u015bvara<\/em> thus constitute the tatva-traya<\/em>, or the Three Verieties, or the Three necessary Postulates of Existence. Also, \u012a\u015bvara<\/em> or the all-perfect Lord<\/em> is Parabrahm Itself in the Vi\u015bhis\u1e25t\u0101dvaita literature, not the Lower Brahm<\/em> of the Advaita as distinguished from the Higher Brahm<\/em>. The Ved\u0101nta-S\u016btras make no such distinctions (vide: G. Thebaut’s Vedanta Sutras).] was once<\/em> ignorant, and that He came<\/em> to possess true knowledge (i.e., monistic knowledge) after<\/em> acquaintance with \u015a\u0101stra[16. \u015a\u0101stra means laws, learning, and therefore spiritual laws or science embodied in the Vedas or S\u1e5butis, etc. Also refer to table at end of Lect.
