Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. The Doctrine Of Brahman In The Vedanta-sotras As Expounded By Cankaracarya. The period of the classical Upanishads was the creative period of Indian philosophy. It was naturally followed by an age of exposition and system-building. The earliest systematic statement of the doctrine of the Upanishads is found in the Vedanta. Sutras.

Up., III, 14, 1), representing respectively the Vedic, the Brahmanic and the Upanishad speculation, are each of them identified with the totality of nature (idam sarvani). But this was little more than to fix the problem. It remained to reduce the chaos of existence to an ordered system through the insight of reason. As already pointed put, the Upanishads recognize different degrees of reality. There is, however, a tendency to employ the principle of dichotomy, to bring things under the head of either of two mutually exclusive categories. Not to mention the Vedic sat'being' and asat' non-being ' which only gradually came to be used in sharp antithesis to each other, we have in the early Upanishads Brahman as the totality of things divided into Brahman with a form and Brahman formless, Brahman mortal and Brahman immortal, Brahman phenomenal and Brahman noumenal (Brh. Up., II, 3, 1), Brahman defined and Brahman undefined, Brahman conditioned and Brahman unconditioned (Taitt. Up., II, 6), Brahma...
