Dear Bhagavatottamas,
Vedanta Deshika has lauded 'Emberumanaar's' philosophy as the
ultimate that one can infer from the texts of vedas and upanishads.
In fact he has brought out the secret that Lord ramanuja as the
incarnation of 'Lord' himselves through logic ('Kaashayena gruhita
peeta vasana....' Yathiraja sapthathi). If one would refelect the
philosophy of 'asankhyeya kalyana guna gana' (infinite attributes) in
a sookshma roopi (anooraniyaan - atom of the atom) 'paramathma' one
would be really baffled at the great power of intellect of Ramanuja.
Lo! it completely matches with modern science (we havent yet got
there fully though, but are in that direction).
Density of molecule is higher than density of matter (ofcourse
three states here)which occupies lower space than matter. Density of
atom is higher than density of a molecule... density of nucleus is of
roughly 27 orders of magnitude higher than general density of matter
& space occupied is much lower. If one extrapolates this one would
obtain 'infinite density in zero space'. Adding additional attributes
other than mass, it is possible to link this with 'infinite
attributes in zero space' and thats one of the definitions
of 'paramathma' and also we get some answer here to what Lord
Ramanuja would have imagined of 'shoonya'. One can easily extend this
surely to infinite attributes in infinite space too ! and that is
also paramathma.
True indeed that Lord Ramanuja is praised by intellectual gaint like
Swamy Deshika who has elaborated this concept of 'sthoola-sooksha
roopa' in his great works.
