COMMENTARY

By the word ‘Tu’, the possibility of the objection is set aside. There is no inappropriateness in the Brahman’s being the material cause of the universe. For there are instances to show that the cause is not tainted by the defects of the effect Though the world is full of misery, etc., yet the Lord God is all pure, etc. He remains always untouched by evil. As in one picture, the different colours, like the blue, yellow, eta, remain in different parts of the canvas, and do not overlap each other; so the qualities of the world remain in their proper locality in Brahman. Or, to take another instance. As youth, childhood, and old age, which are attributes of embodied beings, belong to the body only and not to the embodied Self; or the attributes of blindness, deafness, etc., belong to the senses and not to the embodied Self; so the defects of the world do not appertain to Brahman. Thus all those modifications belonging to matter and antagonistic to the highest end of Man, appertain to the energies of Brahman, and are attributes of His Energies (Shaktis) and remain in His Shaktis and do not pervade the pure Brahman. We hold that Brahman is the material cause of the world. This theory is not only free from any objections, but the opposite theory of the Sankhyas, that the Pradhana is the material cause of the world, is open to the following objection:
