Default real and unreal - 08-06-2004, 01:25 PM

sir,

In chapter 15 sloka 7: the lord says, "A fragment of Mine own Self
becomes in the world of living things an immortal Soul. It attracts
to itself the five senses and a controlling mind, all six established
in matter."
Sruti tells us that even a fraction of the Supreme Being is whole and
compleate by itself.
"What is whole; this is whole; what has come out of the whole is also
whole. When the whole is taken out of the whole, the whole still
remains whole".

It is said in Bhagavad Gita, it is said that the Soul successively
takes various visible forms and "Becomes" man, bird, beast or plant.
The Supreme Spirit may be said similarly to "become" or "transform"
itself into numerous souls at the same time. The individual Soul may
also be looked upon as a fragment of the Universal Spirit, but the
transcendental nature of the original is such that fragmentation does
not affect its integrity. Can we say like that?
According to Advaita, the Brahman is impersonal. It has no kalyana
gunas, no form, and no abode. SRI RAMANUJA SAYS such GOD cannot exist
who does not have mind. Hence GOD is personal with a form,
attributes, and abode.
is this correct?
