Ekatva Vedānta Monal Vedanta Understanding the One
Universal Procedure that emerges the cosmos as identifiable reality ॥ Invocation ॥ Om. That which neither moves nor
rests, neither acts nor remains inert, neither becomes nor is, yet from which
all becoming arises—That is named Brahman. This is a contemplation
upon Ekatva—oneness, the unity by which all emergents occur. I. Brahman: The Inferred Presence There is
only one origin for the cosmos as we observe it: Brahman—a term that
refers to what is inferred from the structured display of reality. Brahman
is not a being, but a presence, and not a negation. It
is a name for the functional source of emergence, deduced from the
cosmos as it appears through structure, repetition, and interaction. This
presence is unobservable in itself, not
because it is hidden or transcendent, but because it is precondition to
all observation. It is not a mystery invoked to escape reason; it is a necessary
inference from the ordered complexity of saguṇa
Brahman—the identifiable cosmos. II. The Condensate: Discrete Event Quanta in Potential The
cosmos emerges within a primordial condensate: a quantised
configuration resembling a Bose-Einstein Condensate, composed not
of matter or continuous energy, but of discrete event quanta. This
condensate exists in a state of rest until activated by turbulence. It is
neither temporal nor spatial, though it gives rise to both time and
space, realness and identity through its ordered arrangements. It is not
different from Brahman; rather, Brahman is the name for the origin of its
procedural activation. III. The Universal Procedure and the Onset of
Turbulence When
turbulence arises—through random collisions and fluctuations among event
quanta—a functional response becomes active: the Universal
Procedure. This
Procedure is not an entity, not a will, and not continuous. It is a set of
constraints (or rules) acting upon turbulence, indeed randomness, to select,
stabilise, and repeat configurations of quanta. These constraints
manifest as the four known forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, and the
strong and weak nuclear interactions. The cause
of turbulence remains undetermined. It is neither attributed nor
avoided—it remains a point of continuing consideration. The
Universal Procedure is: ·
Quantised: it acts through discrete
operations. ·
Not linear: though it invents
linearity within emergent time. ·
Not temporal: though it generates the
appearance of temporal sequence. IV. Ātman: The Essential
Local Configuration Each emergent,
stabilised configuration within the condensate is an ātman—a
locally confined pattern of event relations, temporarily defined by
the constraints of the Procedure. The ātman is essential: without it the
Procedure would not become active, and Brahman could not be inferred. Ātman is not derivative, nor is it illusion; it is
the minimum real identifiable appearance of structure, and functionally
necessary for emergence to be known. Each ātman exists within limits, and because
limits differ, difference is real—not metaphorically, but physically,
to each ātman. V. Saṃsāra: The
Cosmos in Operation The
cosmos is the sum of all ātman-configurations
and their interactions. This relational totality, always arising and
dissolving, constitutes saṃsāra. There is
no essential unity in saṃsāra, only functional
interaction. Forms appear from turbulence, are constrained into logic
sets, and dissolve as their energy is resolved. Difference,
limitation, duration, entropy—these are not defects, but the defining
traits of emergence within the condensate. VI. Completion and Rest: Mokṣa
Reconsidered When an ātman completes its active function—when its
structure is resolved or its energy exhausted—it ceases to operate.
This is not disappearance, but completion. This is mokṣa: not transcendence or liberation, but
the closing of a finite configuration and when the Universal
Procedure, the Brahman, and its limited iteration, the Atman are known as
identical. At completion the Procedure no longer acts, and no further
inference of Brahman through that structure is possible. Mokṣa is neither higher nor lower
than emergence—it is simply rest. And the knowledge of identity. VII. Summary: Oneness Without Denial There is one
condensate, one set of constraints, one Universal Procedure by which
emergence becomes observable. There is no second, no above or below. Brahman
is the inferred origin of all active configuration. ॥ Closing ॥ As sparks
arise from fire, as waves arise from ocean, as thoughts arise from mind—so
do all emergent things, both you and I and a myriad of other identifiable
realities, arise with Brahman. To see
this is not elevation. Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ
śāntiḥ ॥ |
