SUMMARY: Other cults prophessing vacuum cannot be the cause of Universe. Since it is untrue, there should be some reason, after all. Like the proposition or inference of Kumbhakara or the potter, the contention of blankness is non-tenable.

Here is the rejection of the philosophy that preaches ‘blankness’ or Shunyavada. Asat or non-existant cannot be accepted because it cannot prove anything as the cause or consequence of for the existence of the Universe.

SUMMARY: Oh ascetic! If you were to tell that ‘we are not saying that the cause of universe is like the potter but that whatever the Universe we see with the lack of knowledge of blankness is in fact the cause’, then you cannot contend that blankness is the cause.’ Oh Ayushmant! try to understand more clearly what you have learnt in Gurukula that blankness is just a spot, a place or a platform.

Some Buddhist thinkers contend that the concept or the principle of Blankness or emptiness is not to say that blankness is the cause of universe but due to the lack of that knowledge, the universe is seen. However, Shoonya or the blankness is not the whole; it is just a spot or a tiny spot in the ‘whole’ and hence it cannot be attributed to be the reason for the universe. There is a huge difference between blankness and the whole and both these concepts need separate defition. They can never be synonymous.
