That Spirit is declared as a distinct Postulate, as the Param\u0101tma, in all the \u015arutis. The very epithet Param-\u0101tma (the Supreme or Exalted Soul) shows that the Supreme Spirit is a distinct Verity other than the bound and the freed souls. How? Because He, penetrating all the three worlds, sustains (them)<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Loka<\/em>=world, because it is seen (lokyate<\/em>). Such worlds are three in number viz:<\/em> (1) the inanimate world (achetana<\/em>), (2) the animate world in conjunction with the inanimate, (baddha-chetana<\/em>), and (3) the freed souls (mukta<\/em>). All these three are proved to us by Authority. And these three worlds, He \u2014the Spirit Paramount\u2014 permeates and sustains. By the fact that these are worlds, by Him pervaded, and by Him sustained, He is a Principle distinct from them. Also is this the fact by reason that He is Infinite and King, inasmuch as only a Principle Infinite can be distinct from the finite-natured achetana<\/em> (inert matter), the chetanas<\/em> (soul), conjoined thereto and following its lead, and the muktas<\/em>, who once before were in union with it (matter) and now freed; inasmuch as only a King or Universal Sovereign can be distinct from those over whom he holds sway.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 15 Verse 18<\/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 15 << Chapter 15 verse 16 SlOkam \u2013 Original uththama: purushas thvanya: paramAthmEthyudhAhrutha: | yO lOkathrayam AviSya bibharthyavyaya ISvara: || word-by-word meaning ya:thu – one who is lOka thrayam – three types of entities [of the world] viz achith (matter), badhdha jIvAthmAs (bound souls) … 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":[8,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-15","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278","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=6278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6278\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
