CN PRABHUJI

"Under the mighty rule of this Immutable, O Gargi, the sun and moon
are held in their positions; under the mighty rule of this Immutable,
O Gargi, heaven and earth maintain their positions; under the mighty
rule of this Immutable, O Gargi, moments, Muhurtas, days and nights,
fortnights, months, seasons, and years are held in their respective
places; under the mighty rule of this Immutable, O Gargi some rivers
flow eastward from the White Mountains, other flowing westward
continue in that direction, and still others keep to their respective
courses; under the mighty rule of this Immutable, O Gargi, men praise
those that give, the gods depend on the sacrificer, and the manes on
the independent offerings."

bhaskar :

So, here prabhuji you are telling brahman/Ishwara is the ruler & everything
else is being ruled by him through mAya shakti. If the cause & effect are
ever existent & real eternally how can this superiority of Ishwara can be
explained prabhuji?? how can Ishwara *create* things & control it when he
is himself all...... pls. clarify.

If moderators permit me, I'd like to share my understanding on the concept
of Ishwara in shankara vedAnta.
