Clarity of knowledge

Credit should go where credit is due. Without ishvara this jagat, this manifestation is not there. Ishvara is the cause for this jagat, he has within himself the shakti the power to manifest all these things moving and stationary. He also has total overlordship over the jagat. he is both material and intelligence , cause in terms of both material and intelligence, he is homogenous, of the nature of pure consciousness.

When mahavakya equates jiva and isvara, it is very puzzling, because witness consciousness I, is just pure consciousness, and things like overlorship, etc. are not evident in that way, when simply looking at from the standpoint of sakshitvam.

But it is very evident from the standpoint of functioning jagat and devatas and so so, that there has to be some cause, and shruti is a means of knowledge to say that it is a non dual cause. So it is indeed shruti that does the adhyaropa of causation upon pure consciousness or chit, naming it as jagat kAranam brahma. The effect jagat automatically also is purely mithya, an adhyaropa alone. ONLY in the condition that the jagat, jagat kAranatvam are both adhyaropa, does it become possible that jiva and isvara are one and the very same non dual consciousness, which is by itself free from the prapancha, or in other words nishprapancha. Nishprapancha does not mean that the experience of the prapancha has to come to an end. There are 2 types of avidya. One where even when the avidya is gone, the superimposition does not go away. On seeing that mirage water is mirage, the appearance continues, same way on knowing that the earth alone revolves around the sun. Same way the experience, experiencer, the status of controller of the experiences, and experienced, the entire prapancha marked by duality of roles and forms, is very much available, but has been negated via jnanam to be mithya, one that has no real existence, and no unreal existence either, rather has a mithya existence. Mithya existence means a superimposed existence. Such as existence of jewels, wherein gold is that which has real existence. So herein we see the all pervasiveness of absolute truth which is consciousness.
