Gadhada I-42: The Observance of the Moral Do’s and Don’ts

Summary

1. Understanding of Vedāntis: Only Brahma is satya and the moral do’s and don’ts are false.
2. Understanding of Vedāntis is false because:

1. Shankarāchārya [āchārya of all Vedāntis] propounded observance of moral do’s and don’ts and composed verses in praise of deities.
2. Due to having attained the nirvikalp state, one may not see jivas, ishwars, māyā, etc. separately but may only see Brahma; however they all exist in reality.
3. They [Vedāntis] meticulously performs all worldly activities, believing them to be real; yet, on the other hand, they falsify the moral do’s and don’ts which have been prescribed by the scriptures.
4. If everything is Brahma, then the mutual affection husbands and wives have should cause them to become gunātit.

3. No matter how great one may be, bad company always leads to harm. No matter how grave a sinner one may be, maintaining profound association with God leads one to become absolutely pure and attain liberation.
4. Moral do’s and don’ts are true. One who falsifies them are consigned to narak.
