The reason for soul to be selected as the best simile for God
Abodhasukshmatamasaamyaat cha.
(The unimaginable God can be best explained by the most subtle soul in the world).
The soul is most subtle and it is very difficult to imagine the soul. Thus, the soul can be treated as almost unimaginable, which can stand as the best simile for God. The really unimaginable item does not exist in the world and hence exact simile to God in this aspect also is impossible. Hence, the most subtle item that can be imagined through lot of strenuous effort can be treated as almost unimaginable item and can be compared to God, which is the available best. From this aspect also soul is selected as the best simile for God. |
