contacts,—all these contacts being due to Destiny; and all these *contacts* could not be there, for the cognising (and controlling) of Destiny (even by God) . . . Nor is it right to regard God's Cognition as eternal; because the fact universally recognised is that every Cognition is produced and destroyed; so that God's Cognition also must be the same.—Further, what is the meaning of the ‘control’ exercised by God? The only ‘control’ that is inferable is one of the same kind as that exercised by the Carpenter over the Implements; but no such ‘control’ is possible in the case of God. As for ‘Destiny’ itself, its action can be no other than its coming into existence; and this is brought about by such acts as sacrificing and the like. The God-Idea therefore is too flimsy to receive serious attention. That is why the *Bhāṣya* and the *Bṛhatī* have taken no notice of it. (*Ṛjuvimālā*, pp. 190-191.)
