Extract from Vedanta Treatise, The Eternities by Swami Parthasarathy

Sri. Ramu, who has contributed many Malayalam ebooks for Sreyas, feels that the most of Sreyas readers will be benefited from the extract of Chapter XVII from the famous book, The Vedanta Treatise, the Eternities, by Swami Parthasarathy. So, he typed Chapter XVII – LAW OF CAUSATION of the book and shared with us. He suggests that, if you have not read that book, you may acquire it through the net, from Vedantaworld.org and study it, as it covers many important points and doubts in Vedantic thought, which is not seen covered in any other book.

The Vedanta Treatise, the Eternities – Swami Parthasarathy

CHAPTER XVII – LAW OF CAUSATION

The Supreme Law

The universe is an expression of innumerable laws of nature. They are physical, chemical, biological, psychological, philosophical and several other laws. These are all impeccable, infallible, each having a cause-effect relationship. A cause for an effect and an effect for a cause.  The meticulous functioning of the countless laws is the law of causation. They seem to bow in obeisance to some mysterious controller, governor. That unknown, unseen governor is indicated as Brahman, the Supreme God. The infinite power that holds the laws together. Acting like a monarch to whom obedient subjects pay homage. The English poet John Milton puts this idea across succinctly in his sonnet On His Blindness:

His state is kingly: thousands at His bidding speed
And post o’er land and ocean without rest.

The phenomenon of this world is therefore an endless expression of cause and effect.  The incessant play of the law of causation. Which has been functioning from the very beginning. A coconut seed always produced a coconut tree and a coconut tree produced a coconut seed. A chicken produced an egg and an egg, a chicken. Where there is no cause and effect, there is no world.

A PLAN OF WORK FOR INDIA

Written to Justice Sir Subrahmanya Iyer from Chicago, 3rd Jan., 1895.

[...] In America, there is the best scope for caste (real Jati) to develop, and so the people are great. Every Hindu knows that astrologers try to fix the caste of every boy or girl as soon as he or she is born. That is the real caste – the individuality, and Jyotisha (astrology) recognises that. And we can only rise by giving it full sway again. This variety does not mean inequality, nor any special privilege. [...] Continue Reading ‘ Swami Vivekananda on Astrology ’
