According to TATTVAS, why is it said the soul is inherent of 3 passion(so called evil)?

The Indian philosophical systems, in general, classify all things, known and unknown, into two categories, Sat and Asat. These two words, sat and asat are interpreted to give different meanings by different schools of thought. They relate to pair of opposites, such as real and unreal, eternal and non-eternal, permanent and impermanent, animate and inanimate. The three entities, God, soul and cosmos are included in these classifications.

While considering these classifications, Saiva Siddhanta speaks of soul as one which cannot be accommodated into any of these two categories. It places it in a third category and names it as Sadasat . Also the interpretation given to sat and asat in Siddhanta philosophy varies from those in other systems.

To understand and appreciate the concept of sadasat, an understanding of the Siddhanta view of God, Soul and Universe is necessary.

Saiva Siddhanta is a philosophy of pluralistic realism, the concept of the triple realities of Pati, Pasu and Pasam is the bedrock of the Siddhanta tradition. Although these words are interpreted to mean God, soul and bondage (or material of bondage) respectively, their import and connotation are not exactly the same. PASAM WHICH CONSISTS OF ''Anavam'', KANMAM which is called KARUMAM and Maya is sometimes referred to mean anavam only because of its capacity to obscure the soul and keep it in bondage from the beginning. Pasu and pasam are as real and without beginning as God Himself. This is a significant Siddhanta concept which is clearly told by Thirumoolar in his Thirumanthiram.

"pathipasu paasam enappakar muundrin

Patiyinaip poolpasu paasam anaathi"

The basic difference between Saiva Siddhanta philosophy and other Indian philosophical systems can be traced to this concept.

The concept of maya in Vedanta is quite different from that in Siddhanta. While Vedanta interprets it to mean as illusion or indeterminateness, it is real in Siddhanta. According to Saiva Siddhanta, maya is the primordial cause from which the entire universe including the physical bodies with their mental and psychological faculties are evolved. Arulnandhi Sivachariyar refers maya as a seed of this work. It is called maya because all objects emanate from it and go back to it. The formation of the word maya in Tamil is illustrative of this: "ma" stands for decay or involution and "ya" stands for birth or evolution.

சைவ சித்தாந்தத்தில் கொள்ளப்படும் பொருள்கள் மூன்றாகும். அவை பதி, பசு, பாசம் என்பனவாகும். பதி - கடவுள்,பசு - உயிர், பாசம் - உயிரைப் பிணிக்கும் கட்டு.பதிப்பொருள் (கடவுள்) ஒன்று, உயிர்கள் எண்ணற்றவை.பாசம் - ஆணவம், கன்மம், மாயை என்பனவாகும். இம்மூன்று பொருள்களும் தனித்தனியானவை. இம்மூன்றையும் அநாதி நித்தப் பொருள் என்பர். இந்த மூன்று பொருள்களைப் பற்றியஅடிப்படைக்கொள்கை 'இல்லது தோன்றாது உள்ளது அழியாது’என்பதாகும். இதற்குச் சற்காரியவாதம் என்று பெயர்.அதாவது மூன்று பொருள்களும் என்றும் உள்ளவை. அதனால் தோன்றியுள்ளன. அவை என்றும் உள்ளவை ஆதலால் அவை அழிவதுமில்லை எனக் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

@Respected Behenji: Kanmam means Karma.

Because maya, pride and kamna or kanmam are actually illusions

that exist only while the soul is sleeping

or the being is totally under the influence of the mind,

as soon as the soul awakes

all the three illusions along the mind begins to loose their existence

and when the soul becomes fully awaken

all these inherent passions vanish

leaving behind the true tattva of absolute consciousness or awareness or the enlightened soul.

I am an agno-myst.

According to Sanaatana dharma, a soul is pure and it has no impurities. A soul is just animate with intelligence which is referred to as SAT (sentient), that is all. It has no passions by nature. All variances like passions, qualities etc are with Nature and not with the soul. When soul is embodied in the nature's body, due to connection with nature the soul experiences (due to intelligence and animation) the passions.

But why should soul get embodied into nature? Well that is the cause for the very functioning of the universe! The question then will arise why should universe function? who wants the universe to function etc. These are the questions which are being searched for authentic answers by Science and Theology!

Theology has stated that as it is the very basis of our functioning and we being part of the question and answer themselves, it may not be possible to find an answer in the manner (mathematical proof or laboratory demonstration etc.) the physical world requires it!! (yatho vaacho nivarthante, apraapya manasaa sa:- the word and mind have returned without success to reach it). It has categorically stated that one has to have the faith in what is stored in the collective wisdom called the Vedas and that is all there to it.

Science keeps trying it. We have to keep watching it without decrying science.

At the present point of time we have to have full faith in collective wisdom (Vedas) till it is disproved at which point of time that disproving becomes part of the collective wisdom itself!!!

Soul carries the Sanskar to the next Birth ... That is why Attitude is more important than Skill... a Brahmin or Shudra

It is hard to believe a person of today still think of what they don’t understand or comprehend is evil.
