Dear Members, I have a couple of inter-related questions: Are the number of individual jIvas infinite or finite? Are jIvas parts of the Brahman or need the Brahman as a substrate? If the Upanishad Vakya "Ayam Atma Brahma" is true, how does one explain the difference between Atma and Brahma? Keeping that flow of thought, if Atma is a "part" of the Brahma, why is tha Atma subject to karma and not the brahman? Isn't the Brahman limitless and hence even parts of the Brahman share the same qualities as the wholesome Brahman itself? I am sorry if this sounds too much, but these questions have been nagging my mind for quite a while. Regards, Jagan ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
