[Advaita-l] Shankara and DrishTi-SrishTi vAda - eka jeeva vaada

[Srirudra]

Dears
That there is no creation is not in tune with what the sruthi says.In Vishnu Sahasranamam the first word is Visvam.It means Brahman or the Supreme being.Its root visati means enter or interpenetrate.Taitreya Upanishad
2-6 readsTat srushtvaTad eva anupravisat-meaning Having projected the universe He entered into it.Again Yat prayaanty abhisamvisanti Taitreya 3-1 -that unto which all beings enter at the time of dissolution.Thus Brahman Enters  into its effect and the universe enters or dissolves in Him.
Thus the eka Jiiva vada is not agreeing with the sruthi vakyas.Again Vishnu means pervading every thing.So there is creation and it is created by Him.
He just desired say the sruthi further to project the universe.So there is no creation is not just correct.It is not agreeing with the sruthi.
