So, it is to be rejected, opposed as it is to Scriptural and Smṛti texts
like '"O, the soul, verily, should be seen"' (Bṛh. 2.4.5; 4.5 6), 'The
knower of Brahman attains the highest' (Tait. 2 1), '"By knowing
me, one attains peace"' (Gītā 5.29), 'The binder with the noose
of the world, and the liberator from the noose of the world', 'This
one thing is well-established that the object to be worshipped is
Nārāyaṇa, Hari' and so on. Salvation being impossible through
a mere suppression of the functions of the mind, the Yoga doctrine
which deals with the primacy of that only is, indeed, non-acceptable.
Its view is that pradhāna, devoid of any connection with Brahman,
is the material cause of the world, and the Lord is merely the efficient
cause of the world, and this, too, being opposed to the Veda, is certainly
unreasonable. There are many other faults in the Yoga doctrine,
but they are not quoted here needlessly. And the term 'Yoga'
found in Scripture and Smṛti, refers to the meditation and the rest
on the Lord. The eulogizing statement in the Mokṣa-dharma, etc.,
on the contrary, is intended only for referring to that portion of Yoga,
etc. which is not opposed to Scripture. Hence, it is established that
the stated concordance, indicating the causality of Brahman, is not
contradicted by the Yoga-Smṛti.
Here ends the section entitled 'The refutation of the Yoga' (2).
Adhikaraṇa 3: The section entitled 'Difference'
(Sūtras 4-11). Prima facie view (Sūtras 4-5)
SŪTRA 4
"(THERE IS) NO (HAVING BRAHMAN AS THE CAUSE) ON ITS PART,
ON ACCOUNT OF DIFFERENCE, (ITS) BEING SO (IS KNOWN) FROM
THE TEXT."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
We object ¹ to your view on the ground of reason. The world
has not Brahman as its material cause "on account of difference".
¹ Correct reading: 'pratyavatiṣṭhate' which is translated here. Vide C.S.S.
