WITH ADVAITA BEING THE SUPREME ULTIMATE, IS DVAITA RELEVANT ??

Param Brhamatma is the Ultimate and Supreme Being, being the Know-All and Can-Do-All. He is the ultimate and original plurality/diversity-potent Entity privileged with the absolute liberty to manifest or reject manifestation with manifestation being just one of the infinite number of possibilities. He may access anything with absolutely no cap on range and extent of manifestation at all. Mystical question then arises, “How does Param Brhama perceive Himself when everything is He, Himself alone with no dichotomy at all ? As only a perceiver is capable of perceiving the perceptible, how can He perceive Himself being perceiver and perceived both, Himself ?” And also the mystical question, “Why should He aspire to perceive Himself ?” Let us attempt to answer all such intellectually nagging queries systematically one by one with the last one, being first. 

Why should Param Brhama aspire to perceive/cognise Himself ? And why not ? Why should not an absolute entity constituted of entire conceivable, cognisable and available consciousness, aspire to cognize itself ? It will, by all means. When the Absolute Entity aspires to cognize Himself, He submits Himself and His faculty of Advaita i.e. Monism to the phenomenon of fractionation through cleavage into a perceiver and the perceived. It is the single fertilized egg called Zygote that cleaves and re-cleaves to become an organism. Similarly, a negligible fraction of Param Brhamas Cetana cleaved, re-cleaved, aggregated, segregated, conglomerated, transformed, evolved into innumerable creations, an illusion of Dvaita only to be able to perceive/cognize Himself. That’s precisely the reason why Dvaita is eternally relevant. Though Advaita can and does exist without Dvaita, it is impossible to be attained to Advaita directly. Cosmic passage to Advaita invariably passes through Dvaita i.e. a long journey of Sadhana and Adhyatmika pursuits. Once attained to Advaita and Supreme Bliss, Dvaita certainly is rendered irrelevant as all pursuits of Jnana-/Bhakti- and Karma-Yoga are no more required. 

For such a self-cognition, one grand creation ought to/might have been sufficient. Then why so many, always/eternally innumerable creations ?? Well, an artist enjoys creating creations. No artist may ever cease to create so long as faculty to create persists in his/her being. So is Param Brhama. He is the greatest artist transcending entire past, present and future of the entire cosmos. His creativity is eternal just as the aspiration to Self-cognise/Self-perceive may be infinite and eternal. He commenced creating very simple creatures in the beginning, then moved onto creating very complex and beautiful entities. His faculty of creation is so mystical, so enigmatic that he created innumerable loci of potential Self-cognition !! Then He expected all such loci to search for the One purported to be enabled by them for the grand ultimate Self-cognition without being able to cognize it initially !! No sooner do these innumerable loci perceive, deliberately and sportingly strayed out by the Absolute Being, they are impatient rather desperate to revert into the Supreme Being once again. These innumerable “loci” of consciousness are also privileged with considerable degree of autonomy to enable them appear independent in spite of being mere reflections of the Supreme Consciousness that Param Brhamatma is. Scores of terminals connected to a supercomputer too function independently even though they derive their independence from the supercomputer alone !! That is precisely the equation between innumerable Jivatma-s and Param Brhamatma. And they eternally remain/exist under the custodianship of Param Brhamatma. Just as Big-Bang causes drifting away of galaxies infinitely till a critical juncture after which they revert into the Cosmic Sunya, Jivatma-s too revert into the Supreme Abode when zest for life turns blasé after several cycles of temporal dreams, joy of achievements, tragedy of deaths, sacrifices or even a treachery of a Brutus, all trials and tribulations are just unable to agitate them a bit. When Jivatma is resolutely unperturbed, Param Brhamatma no more enjoys Karma-s of such a Jivatma, then the Jivatma is retired into the pavilion of Moksa. Sense of egoic individuality, essentially consciousness of a lower order, then expands unto Universality and that is the ultimate redemption. It is a transmigration of the Alone to the Supreme Alone, both in solitude and the cosmic journey being absolutely solo. It is a tremendous attainment that is impossible to attain by proxy.  

How exactly innumerable beings are differentiated and recognized individually with the cosmic being of the Absolute Being ?? Instrumentalities happen to be Ahamkara, Buddhi, Mana, Kala, Panca Mahabhuta-s etc., that too, being manifestation of Cetana that is impossible to fractionate or fragment. Cetana, essentially energy, can be fragmented and fractionated only after it transforms into mass, then into various forms of life and universe. As the illusory segregation of Cetana undergoes proliferation, an illusory spatio-temporal i.e. Space-Time Grid is created. These constituents bring about various orders/levels of Cetana that impel beings to act variously and accept consequences thereof too, to nullify their actions, to become pure again…and all these constitute a mysticism of Karma-s of an exquisite order, a wonderful source of not only Self-cognition for Param Brhama but also Self-entertainment too !!! This game is over only when the being perceives being a mere a toy in cosmic hands of Param Brhama and the being has no other abode to rest except Param Brhama Himself. In this cosmic game, intensity of Ahamkara is directly proportional to the cosmic distance between the being and Param Brhama. Hence, the cosmic message is explicit – Fascination for the physical world is as absurd/ludicrous as your right hand telling you, “I do everything, every work. What do you do, you fool ?” or your eyes obsessed with your own beautiful face !!!!!
