The observer in the case of God and world
96) Drashturasthaanaat kriyaakaranayoh sadrushatarkasya .

(The observer in the case of God and world does not exist in the plane of God or in the stage of creation. Moreover, the observer is trying to analyze with the help of items of creation similar to him).
The observer is observing both the mud and pot separately. The observer is existing practically when there is lump of mud and also practically when the pot is generated from the lump of mud. In the case of God and world, the observer is existing only in the plane of produced world (Pot) and the observer does not exist in the plane of God (Lump of mud) or during the stage of generation. In the case of simile, the observer is authorized to speak about the cause, the process of generation and the effect. But in the case of God and world, the observer (human being) does not exist in the plane of God or in the stage of creation of world. He exists only in the plane of created world. In the simile, the observer is quite different from the lump of mud, the process of generation of pot and the produced pot. But in the case of God and world, the observer is a part of the produced world, trying to investigate the process of creation of world and trying to investigate the nature of the creator with the help of examples like mud and pot, which are parts of the world like himself.
