Hi Vasan, Thanks for sharing your insight. My husband, who talks about Quantum Mechanics all the time, asked me the following question. So, I earnestly request you provide some light on the following questions. >>In my understanding one of the basic TRUTHS accepted by Vishistadvaitins is >>that JEEVATMA is NOT CREATED by PARAMATAMA. Both JEEVATMA and PARAMATMA >>coexist eternally but Vasan says that THE JEEVATMA IS TOTALLY CONTROLLED BY PARAMATMA. My question is, if JEEVATMA is not created by PARAMATMA, what gives PARAMATMA the right to control JEEVATMA. What did JEEVATMA do that made him/her to be controlled by PARAMATMA. Why is one superior and the other inferior? Vishistadvaitins do say that the differnece between JEEVATMA and PARAMATMA is that, PARAMATMA has the power of creation and the power of bestowing MOKSHA to JEEVATMAs. If thats what makes the JEEVATMA to be controlled by PARAMATMA, is't it unfair/unjust giving one the power of creation and denying it to the other, thenin making one pray to the other for MOKSHA, though they both coexist for eternity? Another question. BUDDA is considered as one of the avataras of Vishnu by some. As everyone knows BUDDHA preached AGAINST Vedas. If Buddha is one of the avataras of Vishnu, why did he contradict the Vedas. In one avatara (Krishna) he recognizes Vedas as the supreme authority and in another avatara he denounces Vedas. Its quite confusing for any simple minded person. I am sure someone might have raised these questions before and someone might have answered too, but I did NOT come across any so far. :-) Thanks in advance. ------------------------ Yahoo!
