[SŪ. 2. 1. 30. 316 VEDĀNTA-PĀRIJĀTA-SAURABHA ADH. 9 ] CORRECT CONCLUSION (end) SŪTRA 30 "IF IT BE OBJECTED THAT (BRAHMAN IS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE WORLD) BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF SENSE-ORGANS, (WE REPLY,) THAT HAS BEEN SAID" Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha If it be objected that on account of the denial of His sense-organs in the text. 'No action or sense-organ of Him exists' (Śvet. 6 8¹), it is not possible for one who is endowed with all powers to be the creator of the world—(we reply:) the answer to this has already been given.² Vedānta-kaustubha If it be objected: Let Brahman be endowed with all powers; still, like milk, without implements such as basin, pot and the rest; like the seed, without implements, such as earth, water, and so on, and like gods and others without implements befitting particular places and times, He cannot consistently be the creator of effects, though possessed of powers, "because of the absence of sense-organs' on His part, i.e. because He is known to be devoid of sense-organs from the text. 'No action or sense-organ of Him exists' (Śvet. 6.8)— (We reply:) The reply to this has been given in the aphorism: "Because of being based on Scripture" (Br. Sū. 2.1.26). The meaning of the above scriptural text is as follows: There exist 'no action',—i.e. that which is to be done for the purpose of obtaining bliss,—and 'sense-organ' for the production of desired for action, 'of him', i.e. of the Supreme Lord who is one mass of ever-present bliss, the Lord of all and the Creator of the world.³ There are scrip- tural texts to this effect, viz: 'The soul, which consists of bliss' (Tait. 2.5), 'Filled with His own self alone', 'A flavour, verily, is He' (Tait. 2 7), 'Having all desires, having all odours, having all tasks' (Chānd 3 14.2, 4), 'Without hands and feet, he is swift and a seizer; without eyes, he sees; without ears he hears' (Śvet. 3 19) and so on. The declaration by the Lord Himself, too, is as follows: ¹ R, ŚK, B. ² Vide Br. Sū. 2.1.26. ³ I.e. the Lord, who is ever blissful does not need to act for attaining any further bliss; and He has not to depend on the sense-organs for His action.
