  ==================================================================================================== Tuesday 19, May 2026, 05:30. Books Upanishad The Philosophy of the Panchadasi: 6-7. Chapter 6: Light on the Analogy of a Painted Picture-7. 4.Isvara or the Universal God: 4. ===================================================================================================== The liberation of the Jiva is possible only in the realisation of Brahman, not even when the least difference is felt, such as that between Jiva and Isvara. As dream does not end until waking, Samsara does not end until Brahman is realised. Dream and waking are similar in so far as there is in both a mistaking of the Absolute for the relative and the particular. From the point of view of Brahman, the whole universe is a dream, inclusive of the differences between Isvara and Jiva, the sentient and non-sentient, etc. Isvara and Jiva, being included within the realm of Maya, become the cause of the twofold creati...

==================================================================================================== Thursday 14, May 2026, 18:30. Books Upanishad The Philosophy of the Panchadasi: 6-6. Chapter 6: Light on the Analogy of a Painted Picture-6. 4.Isvara or the Universal God: 3. ===================================================================================================== People are not wanting in this world, who feel that they know what is right, but cannot do it, and know what is wrong, but cannot desist from it. There is a force above the Jivas, over which they have no control. This does not mean that there is no such thing as free-will in the case of the Jivas, because Isvara Himself appears as free-will, the only difference being that the Jivas do not know that it is Isvara alone who is working from within. Thus free-will does not detract from Isvara's omnipotence. And by this knowledge the supremacy of Isvara and the unattached nature of the Atman in the Jiva are establish...
