1. vivarta-vada and the life force
Speaking of vivarta-vada, the apparent modification is called vivarta. The transformative modification is called parinama.
Per the clay pot analogy, a pot is the parinama of clay. The clay is vivarta of brahman. Both are modes of maya.
In reality, there’s the principle of existence in satcitananda. In the cosmic egg, there’s the principle of life called prana, life force of I am.
2. the universe is not a product of brahman
The universe is not a product of Brahman.
The causal relationship between Brahman and the cosmic order is merely apparent, like a mirage, a dream, a superimposition, an hallucination like the classic snake in a rope.
Causation is a big thing between the modes of Maya: apparent and transformative. Brahman supports this phenomenal world, but transcends its cause-and-effect duality.
