MOKSHA MARG PRAKASHAK
And if without the desire of Param Brahma, Mahesha indulges in destruction then he is proved to be an opponent of Param Brahma and Brahma.
Further, we ask- 'How does Mahesha destroy the universe? Does he do so by his own limbs or destruction takes place outomatically just on his desiring? If he destroys by his own limbs then how does he destroy all things at once?' And if destruction takes place automatically by his (Mahesha's) desire, then we ask - as to why did he destroy the universe when the desire originated in Param Brahma?
Further, we ask him-'Where have the Jivas and Ajivas (i.e., living and non-living substances) of the universe gone on complete destruction?' Then he says- 'Among the Jivas those who were the devotees, they got united with Brahma and the rest got united with Maya'. Now, we ask him- 'Does Maya remain separate from Brahma or later on it gets unified with him? If it remains separate, then Maya is also proved to be eternal just like Brahma, then Brahma did not remain an Addvaita (single undivided) Brahma. And if Maya gets uified with Brahma then the Jivas who intermixed with Maya, they also got intermixed with Brahma along with Maya; then it is established that at the time of total destruction all Jivas got intermixed with Param Brahma; why should then the Jivas make effort for liberation (Moksha)?'
'Further, the Jivas who were united with Maya, will the same Jivas come back into the universe on re-creation of the universe or because these were united with Brahma so will the new Jivas be created? If the same Jivas will come back then it appears that those Jivas remain separate-separate; why do you call them united? And if the new Jivas are created then the Jiva's existence remains for a very short duration only; why should then the Jivas make effort for getting liberated?'"
Then he says- 'Only the earth etc. (inanimate objects) get united with Maya;' then we ask whether Maya is an immaterial animate object or a material inanimate object? If it is an immaterial animate object then how would the material inanimate object get united with the immaterial one? And if it is a material inanimate object then does. it get united with Brahma or not? If it gets united with Brahma then
