Difference (or duality between the Supreme Being and the universe) may also be inferred from cognisability and other marks. So also difference (or duality) may be understood from revelation, from texts setting out duality in emancipation and beatitude, such as: "All rejoice over truth attained; truthful, and celebrating the gift of the divine Indra, they recount his glory;" "Sarva, among those that know the truth, O Bráhman, is in the universe, true spirit; true is individual spirit; truth is duality, truth is duality, in me is illusion, in me illusion, in me illusion." Again:-- "After attaining this knowledge, becoming like unto me, "In creation they are not born again, in retractation they perish not" (Bhagavad-gítá, xiv. 2). According also to such aphorisms as, "Excepting cosmical operation because of occasion, and because of non-proximity." Nor should suggestion be made that individual spirit is God in virtue of the text, He that knows the absolute becomes the absolute; for this text is hyperbolically eulogistic, like the text, Worshipping a Bráhman devoutly a Śúdra becomes a Bráhman, _i.e._, becomes exalted. If any one urge that according to the text:-- "If the universe existed it would doubtless come to an end," this duality is merely illusory, and in reality a unity, and that duality is learnt to be illusorily imagined; it may be replied: What you say is true, but you do not understand its meaning; for the real meaning is, If this world had been produced, it would, without doubt, come to an end; therefore this universe is from everlasting, a fivefold dual universe; and it is not non-existent, because it is mere illusion. Illusion is defined to be the will of the Lord, in virtue of the testimony of many such passages as:-- "The great illusion, ignorance, necessity, the bewilderment, "The originant, ideation,--thus is thy will called, O Infinite. "The originant, because it originates greatly; ideation, because it produces ideas; "The illusion of Hari, who is called _a_, is termed (_avidyá_) ignorance: "Styled (_máyá_) illusion, because it is pre-eminent, for the name _máyá_ is used of the pre-eminent; "The excellent knowledge of Vishṇu is called, though one only, by these names; "For Hari is excellent knowledge, and this is characterised by spontaneous beatitude." That in which this excellent knowledge produces knowledge and effects sustentation thereof, that is pure illusion, as known and sustained, therefore by the Supreme Lord duality is not illusorily imagined. For in the Lord illusory imagination of the universe is not possible, illusory imagination arising from non-perception of differences (which as an imperfection is inconsistent with the divine nature).
