Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “We have learned about the six forms of Jeeva and Ishwara. When Ishwara (who is present in the three states of Samashti) is under the influence of Satva, Rajas and Tamas, he will be referred to as Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra. With the predominance of Rajas, he will be Brahma and will cause creation; with the predominance of Satva, he will be Vishnu and will sustain it and with the predominance of Tamas, he will be Rudra and will cause destruction. Among these, Brahma becomes a part of Vaishwanara, who is of the form of Virat Purusha. Vishnu becomes a part of Hiranyagarbha and Rudra becomes a part of Ishwara (one who is present in the Samashti forms). Note that the term Hiranya Garbha has also been used in two different contexts in different meanings. (One is the Sookshma Samashti Hiranya Garbha, of whom Vishnu is an integral part. The other Hiranya Garbha is the first Jeeva. He is different from the Trimurtis.)"
