Essence of Vedanta - Part 12

Dear All,

In the creation session, we learnt the creation process as explained in Sankhya, as explained in Bhagwad Gita and as explained in panchadasi with the example of pure canvass and drawings.

1) The Creation process through sankhya is illustrated with the flow below 

2) The creation process as learnt through panchadasi is given below 

Pure canvas without any beginning and without any end.

The pure canvass as shown in the first diagram  has been been stiffened by starch for making it suitable for painting.

A light sketch in some form on this stiffened canvas is drawn, which is barely visible and indistinctly cognisable as to its real features.

The lines that have been drawn are filled with ink in different colors as would be necessary to present the requisite picturesque scene.

3)  We also drew a comparison of creation process as explained in Sankhya, B.Gita and panchadasi through a tabular chart 

  

	SANKHYA	BHAGWAD GITA/ VEDANTHA	PANCHADASI
Primal cause, beyond Manifest and un-manifest	Not explained	Purushottama/ Prabrahman	Pure canvass/ Purusha
Un-manifest cause	Purusha	Purusha and prakriti	Stiffening of canvass- Iswara
Manifest cause	Prakriti and Mahat	Hiranyagarbha	Outline of Drawing-Hiranya garbha
Manifest creation	Ahankara and all Subsequent tatwa	Same as Sankhya	Inked Drawings- Objects created in the universe

We concluded in post 20 in creation theme thus:-

"Once we seriously try and start re-tracing from various objects/ human beings/ nature that we see in this world, we can retrace to the cosmic mind of Iswara which planned / inked all such objects, then from the cosmic mind of Iswara, we can retrace to the unmanifest Iswara/ God and from Iswara, we can re trace to the pure canvas prior to starch, the PURUSHOTTAMA prior to purusha and prakriti,  the ONE who is beyond manifest (hiranya garbha) and unmanifest (Iswara) and settle in HIM, THE SUPREME GOD!"

Now, the  final and the last question upon understanding the creation process clearly.

" Upon retracing from the gross body and mind and senses as per sankhya flow and reaching  upto the state of purusha"

or

'Upon retracing from the drawings (our gross existence with body mind and intellect) and reaching upto the state of Purusha which is explained as unmanifest Iswara in the panchadasi learning",

What would be the actual experience of the PURUSHA or the UNMANIFEST ISWARA or the PURUSHOTTAMA explained in Bhagwad Gita??? How and what is this God realization??? What is that God who is realized as purusha/ purushottama/ unmanifest Iswara?? Can that God, who is otherwise inexplicable, be explained somehow???

Hari Aum Tatsat.
