Śrī Rājīva Uvāca:-
[Śrī Rajiv Spoke]:-

Brahma sṛṣṭaṃ jagat sarvaṃ,
ūhyaṃ cidacidātmakam।
Jātaṃ sthitaṃ hṛtaṃ Viṣṇoḥ,
ūhyasya tarkavan na kim?॥

[This creation is generated, maintained and withdrawn into God Vishnu or God Nārāyaṇa, who is imaginable and visible. This world composed of both inert and living beings is also imaginable and visible. Both cause and effect are imaginable and visible. We are capable of analyzing the processes of generation of visible and imaginable effects from visible and imaginable causes. Hence, we must be able to analyze the process of creation of this visible and imaginable world from visible and imaginable God.]

 

Bhavatā'pyukta evādya,
Dattāt Viṣṇor jagad bhavaḥ।
Tyajāmaḥ parama vyoma,
Brahma sṛṣṭaṃ purātanam॥

[You also told now that the imaginable and visible God Datta created all this world. You also told that God Datta is called as Hiraṇyagarbha, Nārāyaṇa and Īśvara from whom the three energetic incarnations called God Brahmā, God Vishnu and God Shiva came out. Since we are at present in the state of maintenance of the world, we have to consider only God Datta as God Nārāyaṇa or God Vishnu. Hence, God Datta means God Vishnu. Hence, You have told the same subject of our question. Of course, Parabrahman created Parama Vyoma (the first little space) and Datta and merged with Him to make Datta as God Datta. This is the matter before creation of God Datta and hence, we can leave this matter for present.]

 

Śrī Datta Bhagavān Uvāca:-
[God Śrī Datta Spoke]:-

Sādhūktaṃ taijasopādhi –
Parabrahmā'pi nohyate।
Nohyaṃ sopādhi kiṃ vajraṃ,
śilā pākṣika saṃvṛtā?॥

[What all you have told is perfectly correct. But, one extra point is there in this subject. God Datta or God Vishnu is none but the Parabrahman or unimaginable God mediated by energetic medium and this mediated unimaginable God is unimaginable God only. A naked person by wearing clothes will not change in any way. Hence, God Datta or God Vishnu is visible, no doubt, but still unimaginable only and not imaginable. A diamond in completely visible state will not change into a gravel stone if it is partially wrapped by a cloth.]

 

Snātas sāṃśuka āyātaḥ,
kvacidaṅgeṣu dṛśyate।
Parabrahmo padhi spaṣṭaṃ,
aspaṣṭaṃ hi vibhūtibhiḥ॥

[A naked person after taking bath in the closed bathroom comes out wearing clothes. Even though his body is majorly covered by clothes, some portions of the body like face, neck, palms and feet are visible. Similarly, the mediated unimaginable God becomes visible but not imaginable. At the same time the visible mediated God expresses unimaginable miracles proving that He is the same unimaginable God existed as naked person during bath.]

 

Anūhyaṃ dṛśyate jīva –
Bhakta dhyānārtha meva hi।
Nigūḍhaṃ kāñcanaṃ dṛṣṭaṃ,
ayo bhavati kiṃ kvacit?॥

[The unimaginable God is seen by the devoted souls when He is mediated since the unimaginable God wished Himself to be seen by devotees so that they can meditate upon Him very conveniently. This does not mean that unimaginable became imaginable. A person naked while taking bath in the bathroom comes out wearing clothes. In such person some parts of body like face, neck etc. are seen by people. This means that the person is majorly covered, but, in some places He is visible. The visible portions of the unimaginable God are unimaginable miracles performed by the mediated unimaginable God. Unimaginable miracles indicate that the covered Parabrahman is their source and unimaginable God did not become imaginable God.]

 

Hiraṇmayena pātreṇa,
mantre pihita mucyate।
Anumānena dṛṣṭaṃ syāt,
apāvṛṇviti cārthyate॥

[In the mantra of Īśāvāsyamñ, it is told that the unimaginable God or Parabrahman is completely covered by golden vessel (energetic form as medium) and God Sun is prayed to open it so that the absolutely real Parabrahman is seen.]

 

Sa pūṣā codako buddheḥ,
prārthyate dhī sahāyataḥ।
Anumāna pramāṇārthaḥ,
sūcyate kevalā''stikaḥ॥

Here, Parabrahman being unimaginable can never be seen by senses and hence, perception fails. God Sun represents intelligence (Dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt – Veda) and with the help of intelligence only inference authority can be utilized so that we can see the existence of an item that which cannot be seen by perception. In the case of unimaginable God, only existence can be known (Astītyevopalabdhavyaḥ – Veda). This means that with the help of miracles expressed by mediated unimaginable God, the existence of unimaginable God in the mediated God can be inferred.]

 

Upādhi bhastrikāṃ dṛṣṭvā,
gūḍha vastu na paśyati।
Sattaiva gṛhyate buddhyā,
dṛṣṭaṃ na vastu nākṣigam॥

[Just by seeing the medium or closed bag that covers an item, we cannot guess the nature of the item present in the bag. We can only realize the existence of some unseen item through the analysis of our intelligence. By seeing the bag, you cannot realize the nature of the hidden item in the bag. Hence, by seeing the mediated unimaginable God, we cannot see the unimaginable God. Therefore, only the medium is seen by your eyes and not the unimaginable God.]

 

Ūhyaṃ nohyā diti praśne,
svāyambhuva miti sthitāḥ।
Jaḍaviśvaṃ mahāmedhā –
sūtraiś calati tat katham?॥

[Therefore, the million-dollar question remains as it is, which is that how imaginable world is produced from the unimaginable God. Scientists prefer to say that there is no God and this world exists as it is. But this world is so systematic and is running on intellectual lines and hence, can it exist and administer by itself?]

 

Prajñānaṃ kimapi syāttat,
na jivā āśritā jagat।
Ādhāra jagadantassthāḥ,
sraṣṭāro nāśrayāḥ katham?॥

[Some terribly intellectual element must have created this wonderfully systematic world. If you say that the souls present in this world have created this world, it is absurd because the souls appeared after the creation of the inert world only in which only souls exist. How the souls created this world without their basic stage?]

 

Pariṇāma vade vijñe,
jīvā jaḍa jagat parāḥ।
Katha madbhuta racanā,
jaḍai rutkrānti vādinām?॥

[The scientist says that this world is result of evolution of new items from the old items. The biological evolution says that the living beings evolved from inert items. Before the evolution of living beings, the inert world was running on wonderfully setup designed physical laws. Without intellectual being, such wonderful arrangement of the inert world is impossible.]

 

Śaktayo niyatās tena,
sarvaśaktimatā tataḥ।
Tṛtīyaṃ bhūmi bhāgaṃ no,
samudrāmbho nimajjayet॥

[Such intellectual being is not qualified by mere intelligence. In this world, we see several controlling phenomena, which cannot act by themselves. They appear as if they are working by the power of some omnipotent item. The 2/3rd quantity of water in the oceans on the earth seems to be controlled by the omnipotent entity and therefore, the soil part of the earth with humanity is not immersed so far.]

 

Vijñā eva vadantyevaṃ,
kathaṃ brūmo na vai kutaḥ।
Kathaṃ bhramati bhūr vidmaḥ,
kuto na vidmahe tviti॥

[Even the scientists say that they can answer to ‘how?’ but not answer to ‘why?’ They say that they can explain how the earth rotates on its own axis and around the sun. But they say that they cannot answer the question ‘why the earth rotates at all?’]

 

Aṅgī kurmo vijñavādaṃ,
sarvaṃ taptaṃ payaḥ katham?।
Ityuṣṇa śāstra makhilaṃ,
brūmaś cinnara karma tat॥

[We agree on the subject of science perfectly about how the milk is heated on fire and we follow the scientific topic of thermodynamics from the beginning to the end to understand how the cold milk became hot. We just add one point, which is that the milk by itself cannot jump onto fire and does not become hot by itself. We just add one missing point, which is that a living person put the milk in a vessel and heated it on the fire!]

 

Pariṇāma vadā nāṅgī –
kurvanti vacanaṃ param।
Niyamānusṛtaṃ karma,
kriyate tajjaḍaiḥ katham?॥

[The scientists following the theory of evolution do not agree that a living person arranged the cold milk to become hot milk. There is a perfect and systematic procedure and scientific background to this process. The process itself is inert and cannot proceed by itself without the guidance of an intellectual person. The inert process cannot be carried on by other inert items.]

 

Bhūvāri śoṣaṇān meghaḥ,
punar varṣati cānnakṛt।
Grīṣme prāvṛṣi paryāyāt,
cakraṃ kiṃ jaḍa cālitam?॥

[In summer, the Sun draws surface water from the Earth by which clouds are formed in the sky. In the subsequent rainy season, the clouds rain on the earth, producing crops in the fields to be used as food for all living beings. This happens alternatively and this natural cycle runs regularly. Is this systematic cycle running simply by the guidance and activity of inert items?]

 

Nidāghānantaraṃ prāvṛṭ,
na cet dīrghāntare jagat।
Pipāsayā praṇaṣṭaṃ syāt,
tajjaḍa pratibhā kimu?॥

[In the above cycle, just after the summer, the rainy season follows. This means that when water is drawn from the Earth in summer, a long time is not allowed so that the living beings on the Earth will suffer due to lack of drinking water. Keeping this negative point in view, the rainy season follows immediately after the summer season. Is this also a plan of inert items only?]
