Chapter 7<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 7 verse 5<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n etad-yon\u012bni bh\u016bt\u0101ni ‘That all beings, understand, have these (two Natures) as their womb. And I am the Origin as well as the End of all the Kosmos[3. Cp. with XIV-3 Bh: Gi:<\/a> and M\u0101n\u1e0d: Up:<\/em> II-4. This verse refers thus to the Principle of the \u012a\u015bvara, thus constituting the three-fold Constituents of the Kosmos, of which Achit (verse 4<\/a>) and Chit (verse 5<\/a>), are the material and spiritual substances, evolving from \u012a\u015bvara, their Identity or Vi\u015bisht\u0101dvaita. Sri Ramanuja\u2019s Monism is very nearly the Monism of Spinoza, who would say: \u201cThere is but one Infinite Substance, and that is God. Whatever is, is in God ; and without Him, nothing can be conceived. He is the universal Being of which all things are the manifestations. He is the sole Substance; everything else is a Mode; yet, without Substance, Mode cannot exist. God, viewed under the attributes of Infinite Substance, is n\u0101tura naturans<\/em>\u2014, viewed as a manifestation, as the modes under which his attributes appear, he is the n\u0101tura naturata<\/em>. He is the Cause of all things, and that immanently, but not transiently. He has two infinite attributes\u2014Extension and Thought.\u201d (Page 430, G. H. Lewes’ History of Philosophy). In Ramanuja\u2019s phraseology, there is but One God, Sat<\/em> or the one Substance to whom Achit<\/em> or Extension (=Brahma<\/em> (V-10) or Mahad-Brahma<\/em> (XIII-2) or \u015aabda-Brahma<\/em> (VI-44) = matter-stuff), and chit<\/em> or Thought (=J\u00f1\u0101na or \u2018intelligence\u2019 or \u2018sentiency\u2019 or \u2018conciousness\u2019= soul-stuff) are the Prak\u0101ra<\/em>, or Modes, or Vi\u015besha\u1e47a<\/em> or Attributes. God is Sat<\/em>, or Prak\u0101ri<\/em> or Substance, without whom Achit<\/em> (matter) and Chit<\/em> (souls) cannot have independent existence. God (\u012a\u015bvara<\/em>) is the uncaused Cause, or the Identity<\/em> of all effects which are ever potentially contained in Him, and at certain epochs kinetically expressed. God is thus both the material<\/em> as well as the spiritual<\/em>, or in other words, both the Objective<\/em> as well as the Subjective<\/em> basis of the Kosmos. Identity<\/em> in Ramanuja\u2019s Monism does not mean sameness<\/em>, \u2018but the root from which spring two opposite stems, and in which they have a common life. Man for instance, is the identity of soul and body; water is the identity of oxygen and hydrogen.’ (Footnote to page 431, Op: Cit<\/em>.). An exhaustive article on the necessity of Three Postulates to explain the Kosmos has been written separately, which see.]’.<\/span><\/p>\n This is My dual Nature, so constituting synthetically generally the two-fold Categories of the (samashti<\/em>)[4. Samashti-S\u1e5bishti<\/em> is general or collective<\/em> creation, or creation into broad principles, the minor divisions of which constituting vyashti s\u1e5bishti<\/em> or particularization of the general principles or distributive<\/em> creation, this function being committed to minor Lords of creation, the Demiurge or the four faced Brahm\u0101 etc.], Sentient (Chit<\/em>) and the Insentient (Achit<\/em>) Principles. This double Nature is the womb (i.e.<\/em>, source or basis) out of which all things, high and low, from the Demiurge (Brahm\u0101) down to the blade of grass are modelled, \u2014compounds of the Intelligent and the Non-intelligent Principles.<\/span><\/p>\n This dual Nature is verily My own. In the same manner that they constitute the basis of all things, understand that I<\/em> am, in turn, their<\/em> basis (womb). They belong to Me. I alone am the Origin (Projector) and the End (Retractor) and the Lord, of the whole Kosmos.<\/span><\/p>\n I, Paramapurusha[5. Parama-Purusha<\/em> = Synonym Purushottama<\/em>(‘The Super-excellent Person’, the 24th name of God, (vide also, P\u0101ta\u00f1jala Yoga-S\u016btra I.24, (which says purusha-vi\u015bes\u1e25<\/em>) – Purusha is the common term to denote a thinking<\/em> substance from an unthinking<\/em> substance. Utpurusha<\/em>=bound soul; uttara-purusha<\/em>=liberated soul, uttama-purusha<\/em>=the ever-free soul; Purushottama<\/em>=Soul Supreme=God.): Purusha<\/em> means etymologically He who grants abundance; “puru=bahu, sanoti=dad\u0101ti.<\/em>” Thus Parama-Purusha means the Supreme all-Giver.], am the womb again, (the causa causorum<\/em>), of this collective compound womb, of the Universe, viz<\/em>; the Intelligents plus Non-intelligents or purusha<\/em> plus prak\u1e5biti<\/em>. This is evident from \u015aruti and Sm\u1e5biti passages, thus:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018The mahat<\/em>(or 1st manifest<\/em> differential) resolves back into avyakta<\/em> (unmanifest<\/em> matter), avyakta into akshara<\/em> (still subtler (invariable<\/em> substance), akshara into tamas<\/em> (the still primodial undifferenced basic substance m\u016bla-prak\u1e5biti<\/em>, called darkness, for it is a homogeneous indiscrete nebulosity of substance); and tamas merges as oneness with the Supreme Divinity (Pare Deve<\/em>).[6. Suba: Up: 2: (mah\u0101n avyakte l\u012byate, aksharam tamasi l\u012byate, tamah Pare Deva ek\u012b bhavati).]\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Two forms issue from the Supreme Nature of Vish\u1e47u, O Vipra!, pradh\u0101na<\/em> (=matter,) and purusha<\/em>(= soul).[7.
