[Advaita-l] Ishwara Swarupam

[Rajaram Venkataramani]

That is exactly the Mandukya sAra: the Turiya is free of the kAraNopAdhi
> and the kAryopAdhi - the two states of waking and dream (kArya) and their
> kAraNa state the sleep, in all their vyaShTi and samaShTi modes.  The
> shukarahasyopaniShad says:
>
> कार्योपाधिरयं जीवः कारणोपाधिरीश्वरः ।
> कार्यकारणतां हित्वा पूर्णबोधोऽवशिष्यते ॥ १२ I
>
> //This jiva is the effect-upAdhi and Ishwara is the cause-upAdhi. Upon
> giving up/rejecting/negating/transcending the upAdhis  of kArya-kAraNatva,
> the Pure Infinite Consciousness/Awareness, free of any upAdhi whatsoever,
> alone remains over.//
>
> Sri Appayya Dikshitar has quoted this in the siddhAntaleshasangraha:
>
> // सङ्क्षेपशारीरके तु - "*कार्योपाधिरयं जीवः* कारणोपाधिरीश्वरः" इति
> श्रुतिमनुसृत्य अविद्यायां चित्प्रतिबिम्ब ईश्वरः, अन्तःकरणे चित्प्रतिबिम्बो
> जीवः। //
>
> According to this Ishwara is the reflected consciousness in the medium
> called avidyA and jiva is the reflected consciousness in the medium called
> the mind.

The karanopadhi ishwara is Avyakta, the Immutable. Parameshwara is
nirupadhika beyond this.  Right?
