The world around us
There are two types of entities we classify the world around into : beings with consciousness, and those without life (no consciousness). The former is called "chaithanyam" or intelligence, and the latter is termed as "Jada prapancham". The living beings did not create the inactive objects. And the converse is also true. Without a consciousness for itself, the "Jada prapancham" could not have created conscious beings. But the inactive objects have been functioning systematically and infinitely, so all this must have been created by a "super-brain" and the same must be at work keeping the system running. Moreover, this "super-brain" could not have created the inactive sedentary cosmos out of anything else (anya vasthu), since the question then arises as to who/what would have created that anya vasthu, and so on. So the "super-brain" has manifested itself as all the "Jada prapancham". Next, the question is whether the living beings created themselves. Given how much difference exists between the various beings in physical and mental attributes, the living beings could not have been created by themselves (more introspection to be done on this). This means that a "super brain" would have had to create all living beings. The "Chaitanyam" and "Jada prapancham" are intertwined with each other. Living beings depend on the "Jada prapancham" for food water and shelter. The living beings cannot control the "Jada prapancham". So the connection between the two entities must also have been fabricated by the "super-brain". Now if these two entities were created by different super brains, then there would not be a strong association or connection between the two. (Easiest example is how Apple apps are well integrated with Apple devices, but not as well with other devices.) So, both "Chaithanyam" and "Jada prapancham" must have been created by the same "super-brain". And it cannot have been created using any "anya vasthu", rather it all has to be a manifestation of The "super-brain". Therefore there exists only one "vasthu" - "Brahmam", which appears as different entities. This is what we call "Mithya". This is Advitha's fundamental philosophy/truth: that one Supreme power is perceived as different entities under the influence of "Maya". We should practice perceiving everything as one, on a daily basis. That will lead us to realize, one day, that everything is one. This wisdom is the eternal and blissful enlightenment - "Moksham". We should strive to experience this while we dwell in this human body - because only human body is capable of experiencing "moksham" (hence the saying "durlabham maanusham janma" - human birth is extremely rare to attain).
Thus Spake The Divine!!
