Our Acharya does not just gloss over such
statements. Just because they talk about MAyA he does not overlook their
mention. In his bhAshya he emphatically says: ‘shakti-yuktA parA devatA’. Since
he himself has defined MAyA as
anirvacanIya (that which is inexpressible or unexplainable), he is not afraid
of questions like: ‘Where did the Shakti come from’.
In the matter of Brahman one cannot ask questions like ‘How is
it possible?’ in the same manner as one would ask when being presented with
material matter and worldly concepts. The profound and majestic truths about
Brahman cannot be learnt by logical quibbling, but only by what the Vedas have
declared. (Brahma-sUtra-bhAshya: II - 1
- 31).
