The statement of the self-time is not the Lord, if it were the Lord, then what would the potter do? This is not the case, even there the Lord is engaged as the cause of the cause by pervading everything. But in this way, there would be a concept of the destruction of what is seen and the creation of what is not seen. Thus it is said:
"From the connection with the medicine of the enemy, etc., the wound of the arrow heals. What is the cause of the stationary object which is not connected?"
Therefore, the concept of the unseen by abandoning the seen cause is not justified. Moreover, the creator of the Devakulaavat, etc., is seen as having parts, non-pervasive, and impermanent. This is also proved by the example, and the Lord is also like this. Otherwise, there is no example of the other, and there is no inference due to the non-establishment of pervasiveness. Staying in this direction, the means of production, etc., should also be considered as means and non-means, because of the equality of yoga and welfare. What is also said, "This world is created by the primary, etc.", is also not appropriate, because what is that primary, is it concrete or abstract? If it is abstract, then the birth of the concrete from the Makarakara, etc., is not possible, because nothing is seen to be born from the sky, because of the contradiction between the concrete and the abstract in terms of cause and effect. If it is concrete, then from where is it born? It is not from itself, because there would be the possibility of the world being born in the same way. Nor is it from another, because of the non-establishment of the other. Just as the primary, etc., exists from the beginning without being born, so also the world should not be considered. Moreover, the primary is said to be the state of equilibrium of sattva, rajas, and tamas. And you do not accept the birth of the great, etc., from the un-modified primary, nor does the designation of the modified primary stand, therefore, there is no birth of the great, etc., from the primary. Moreover, how can the inert have an inclination towards the purpose of man, as stated by you? By which there would be creation with the possibility of enjoyment, if it is said that this is the nature of the primary, then in that case, the nature itself is stronger, which controls even the primary, and from that the world should also be, why the concept of the unseen primary, etc.? If it is said that some people accept the causality of nature from the beginning, then it is not the case, because the nature does not cause us any harm, as it is accepted. Because, nature is nature, its own birth, and that is accepted for all things. And what is said, "This world is created by destiny", there also the regulation is destiny, just as the building is destiny, and when considered, it does not go beyond nature. And what you have said, "The world is created by the self-born", is also not beautiful, because what is said by the self-born? Is it that when it becomes, then it becomes independent and free from others? Or is it designated as self-born because of its beginningless existence? If the acceptance of independent existence is there, then why is the existence of the world not accepted? Is it self-born? If it is beginningless, then because of its beginninglessness, it is eternal, and because of the eternality, it is uniform, and because of the uniformity, there is no possibility of being a doer. And because of being free from attachment, there is no possibility of the diversity of the world, if it is attached, then because of its non-difference from us, it is not the creator of the world. The concrete and abstract, etc., should be considered as before. And what is also said here, "By that Mara is born, and he destroys the world", is just talk, because of the statement of non-doership. And what is said, "This world is born from the egg, etc.", is also inappropriate, because the eggs which are laid by the fish, etc., are just as they are within the egg, so also the world is born, and there is no obstacle seen in this acceptance. And why does that Brahma not create the world until he creates the egg? Why with this difficult, illogical, and egg-concept? If it is so, then some have said that the Brahmanas were born from the mouth of Brahma, the Kshatriyas from the arms, the Vaishyas from the thighs, and the Shudras from the feet. This is also illogical, because the birth of anyone from the mouth of God is not seen. If it is so, then there would be no difference between the varnas, because of the birth from one. And there would be no difference between the Brahmanas, like the Katha Upanishad, etc., because of the birth from one mouth. And there would be no existence of the Upanayana, etc., or if there is, then there would be the possibility of taking the wife of one's own sister, etc. Because of many such defects and evils, this birth of the world should be accepted. Therefore, it is established that those who argue in this way, do not know the truth of the world, which is beginningless and endless, fourteen rajjus in length, in the form of a man with two hands placed on the waist in the Vaishkha place, with a lower world in the form of a wrestler with seven earths, a middle world with countless islands, seas, and bases, an upper world in the form of a wrestler emerging from the sea, made up of dharma, adharma, space, and the essence of life, eternal in terms of substance, momentary in terms of change, the truth of substance established by birth, decay, and permanence, the world of many births established by the beginningless karma of life, marked by the end of the world for those who are free from the eight types of karma, they speak falsely.
