Dear Bhagavatas,
I humbly submit the following to the forum for discussion;
S'abda is a dravya that inheres as an attribute in the five elements. The
elements come about when prakriti evolves from its subtle state, due to
Isvara's sankalpa.
1. Is S'abda in a dormant sate in the time between dissolution and
creation? If so, given Sruti is represented by a modification of S'abda,
what is its status during the time between creation and dissolution?
2. Is BrahmajNAna, independent of S'abda?
Adiyen,
Venkat
