AUPA Mantra to ponder GOD RULES THIS UNIVERSE

GOD RULES THIS UNIVERSE

Nothing moves without His will

By: Swami Chidananda

Advaita Vedānta no doubt speaks of Brahman, the one absolute truth in which the individual soul (jeeva), the universe (jagat) and God (Ishwara) merge when one attains the highest wisdom. Brahman is the truth even now, not recognized by us because we are in the “frame of reference” of avidyā (ignorance).

Till we ascend to the lofty heights of brahma-jnāna, the ground reality is – Advaita Vedānta unhesitatingly acknowledges – Ishwara (God) is the undisputed Ruler of all that happens in this universe of unthinkable grandeur.

O Gārgi, the sun and the moon stay supported under the rule of this “imperishable truth”!

etasya vā aksharasya prashāsane, Gārgi, 

 suryā-chandramasau vidhritau tisthatah  

Brihadāranyaka Upanishad – 3.8.9

(Chapter 3, Brāhmana 8, mantra 9)
