WHY BRAHMAN CAN NEVER DUPLICATE

WHY BRAHMAN CAN NEVER DUPLICATE

Creation is a wrong word in the first place. It is manifestation which is an apparent reality and not the real Reality. The universe is an appearance, the manifoldness being just an appearance of name and form of the substance (Brahman) which has never changed. Like the wave is nothing but the sea and to imagine it as 'many' is to lend it a distinct identity which is simply not valid. The sea alone is. Likewise, Brahman alone is and through inexplicable delusion is conceived of as the manifold universe called Maya where the conceiver, the conceived and the conception are all hallucinations or seeming realities. Maya seems to exist but does not do so in essence. The essence is Brahman and it alone exists, changeless, for it simply cannot change, being indivisible and transcendent which makes it beyond the possibility of mutation. Brahman being beyond the trinity of relativity, that of space, time and causality, is immutable and, hence, 'eternally' alone. It is the only singularity that exists. All else is plurality which seem to exist but do not do so in essence. They are imagined reals if ever some such could be.
