What does "achintya" mean? Incomprehensible or inconceivable.

So "achintya" in its absolute sense can be applied only to

the Lord. He is achintya and his shakti is adbhuta and
achintya and so His adbhutashakti is achintya. So, the
full expression "achintya-adbhuta-shakti" is acceptable
and fully consistent term.

Transferring His charascteristics to the universe or

to any aspect is nothing short of ridiculous.

There are examples for "bhedAbheda", but there are no

examples for "achintya-bheda-abheda".

Let us analyze this a little more.

If X and Y are two entities, which does "achintya"

refer to? Xor Y or both or bheda or abheda? They
take refuge in heavy confusion and evasiveness.

Let us list some of the possibilities.

1. X is achintya and Y is not achintya. Their

difference is achintya and non-difference is not
achintya.

2. X is achintya and Y is not achintya. Their

difference is not achintya and non-difference is
achintya.

3. X is achintya and Y is not achintya. Their

difference is achintya and non-difference is
achintya.

4. X is achintya and Y is not achintya. Their

difference is not achintya and non-difference is
not achintya.

There can be 4 more with both X and Y being

achintya, 4 more with neither being achinta
and 4 more where X is not achintya and Y is.

When we take God as one of the entties, then the

above 4 are enough to analyze, as God alone is
achintya and none else is. That very fact is
enough to throw all the four above. When one is
achintya and another is not, the non-difference
does not happen at all. Then where is the question
of discussing whether the non-difference is
achintya or not? Then trying to enter a circular
argument by trying to exploit God's achintya
shakti, if one says "God is achintya- means He can
do any thing - means He can achive the
incomprehensible non-diffrence between Him and the
Jiva or Him and the universe" is ridiculous.

Such approach leads to even more ridiculous

arguments "God can do anything - so can He commit
suicide? Can He create a stone that He can not
lift?" If this is one kind of mischief, the above
is another kind of mischief.

Similarly, the anirvachanIyatva is also a ridiculous

and mischievous approach. The universe is not
anirvachanIya. The ordinary jIva is not anirvachanIya.

God will not use His unique power either to

bring Him down to the level of Jiva/universe or
bring the jIva/universe to bring to His level.
