Brahman is without form
Chapter 2 - Neither Yes Nor No
Day 18
Brahman is without form. There is a difference between Brahman and Brahma. Brahma is a personified Brahman. Brahman is the Cosmic Existence. While Brahman is complete, Brahma has a limited role. Brahma is a devata, Brahma at man or Self.
The Self has no form yet It lives in all forms. They have described how Brahman is pure and blemish less. Like space cannot be polluted but you can pollute everything else. Space doesn't move, yet everything moves in space. Suppose you take a mud pot and crash it into a mud ball.
A mud ball has no value but the mud pot, which has space inside has value. You pay 1 dollar or 10 rupees to buy the mud pot. What are you paying for? The mud of the space inside it? Why should you pay for the space? Space is available everywhere. There you get the point.
When you move the pot, does the space also move? If I keep a mud pot, an empty vessel here, the space inside the vessel is important right? Now if I move the vessel from this point to this point has the space changed? If you say Yes, I will say No. If you say No, I will say Yes.
When you move it, it's moving in space, the space has changed. Yes, and it has not changed. It is the same amount of space inside. This is higher knowledge, where it is neither yes nor no, but both together. If the paradigm shift has not happened to think in this direction, you cannot understand this.
Because we are conditioned to think only yes or no, black or white. In Atmagyan, Self knowledge you need a different modus operandi, a different way where you are able to say yes and no at the same time because you are dwelling at a level which is beyond logic, intellect and ego.
