MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
Brahma has changed from the one portion point of view. This change has not occurred to anything else.
In this way, believing the universal form of Brahma is nothing but a fallacy only.
Further, another way of such belief is this-"As the space (sky) is an ubiquitous one, similarly, the Brahma is an ubiquitous one. If you (the monist) believe so, then believe the Brahma also as big as space and wherever the material objects,-jar, cloth, etc. are found, the space is also found there; in the same way, believe the existence of Brahma too. But how could the jar, cloth, etc. and the space be treated and called as one only? Similarly, how the universe and the Brahma could be believed to be as one? And the differentia of space is perceived to be everywhere; so, its existence is believed to be everywhere; but the differentia of the Brahma is not perceived everywhere; so how could then his existence be belived everywhere? In this way also, no universal form of Brahma is established."
From all these considerations, the existence of one Brahma is in no way established. All substances appear to be separate-separate entities.
Here the respondent says. “All is one only, but you are under delusion, that's why you are not able to perceive him as one. And you have put up your logic but the nature of Brahma is beyond logic. And his nature is not describable in words. He is one as well as many. He is separate as well as united. His glory is so great".
Our answer to him is-"What I, you and all are perceiving clearly, you call it delusion. And if we deduce by logic then you say that the real nature is beyond logic. And if you say that the real nature is not describable in words then how can one ascertain without words? “Further he says-"He is one as well as many, is separate as well as united”, but you do not specify the viewpoint and instead like an insane person you are magnifying his glory by asserting that he is like this and also like that. But, where there is no justice, the liars indulge there in such garrulousness only. So, let them do so but justice will remain unchanged.
