Ishwara & Nashwara

Nashwara to Ishwara
by
Kamini

Is there an opposite to Ishwara? Yes! It is Nashwara.
In the Sankhya Philosophy, reality is perceived as Ishwara & Nashwara.
Nashwara is the decaying principle. Whatever is born is bound to grow & finally decay.

 Ishwara is non-decaying, non-changing reality. 

When this reality manifests, it becomes Chetana. Chetna is consciousness and energy in continuous  motion within itself. It is like a vortex, a whirlwind. On the outside, periphery of this whirling motion is awareness of speed, motion, but at the centre is total stillness.
The purpose of human life is to evolve and merge with Ishwara. To transform, transcend from being Nashwara to being the unchanging, eternal reality, Ishwara.So Nashwara is "becoming" and Ishwara is " being".
the various paths of Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga, Gyan Yoga are paths to move from Nashwara to Ishwara.
