Your first question is below.


The Self is eternal
True False

Creation is an automatic process made possible by the inherent causes that are present in the realities of existence.
True False

The individual soul is the lord of the body (Isvara) and constant worship and meditation upon him (isvara paridhana) is the best means to achieve total and unqualified self-absorption (samadhi/Serenity) which results in liberation.
True False

The world exists not because you think so but because it has an independent existence of its own which is verifiable through logical inquiry and parameters (pramanas) of truth.
True False

Everything found in existence is a substance, including the souls. What others view as concepts or intangible phenomena such as actions (karma), space (akasa), gunas (modes), etc., are also substantial realities. Only two methods (pramanas) can arrive at truth, namely direct observation (pratyaksha) and inference or hypothesis (anumana). Substances are made up of minute parts of different kinds which are indivisible and indestructible. Exceptions are those substances that are eternal and infinite such as souls and space.
True False

Vedas are supreme, self-existing, self-evident, eternal, and inviolable. The hymns of the Vedas have an existence of their own and do not depend upon either speech or the mind for their validation. Their efficacy depends upon the purity of the words and syllables, and their meaning, utterance, and interpretation. Vedas are supreme because they contain the essential knowledge of dharma or religious duty, which is an eternal reality that does not depend upon God or any divine source for its existence. It is responsible for the existence of the worlds and their order and regularity. When followed faithfully, it can by itself purify and liberate people from the mortal world
True False

Brahman as the Supreme Self, who is not only the lord (isvara) and the creator (karta) of the worlds but also their preserver and destroyer. He is eternal, indestructible, indivisible and the source of all. He pervades all and exists in all beings as their very Self (atman). The worlds exist for his very enjoyment. Hence, he is also known as the ultimate enjoyer whose essential nature is endless and eternal bliss. You must know Ishvara to achieve liberation.
True False

God alone is true and real.
True False

God and His creation are distinct and different in every aspect. On liberation souls continue to exist as independent entities.
True False

God and souls are almost identical and there is no duality between them except notionally.
True False

The existence of the Supreme can be Logically proven.
True False

The Universe is made up of two forces, consciousness and matter.
True False

Analysis of Vedas will lead to Enlightenment
True False

The Vedas are the authoritative books to understanding the world and achieving liberation
True False

My goal is to help all sentient beings toward liberation
True False

My primary goal is to achieve my own liberation.
True False

We are reincarnated after going through an intermediate state between lives.
True False

Establishing good causes will bring about good results
True False

Things have the nature of lacking true existence or own being (niḥsvabhāva), all things are mere conceptual constructs (prajñaptimatra) because they are just impermanent collections of causes and conditions
True False

Emptiness is mainly that subject and object and all experiences which are seen in the subject–object modality are empty.The "things" we are conscious of are "mere concepts" (vijñapti), not 'the thing in itself'. In this sense, our experiences are empty and false, they do not reveal the true nature of things as an enlightened person would see them, which would be non-dual, without the imputed subject object distinction. The nonexistence of duality is indeed the existence of nonexistence; this is the definition of emptiness. It is neither existence, nor nonexistence, neither different nor identical.
True False

Knowledge is best means of advancing spiritual development
True False

Worship is best means of advancing spirituality.
True False

Correct Language is best means of advancing Spirituality
True False

Buddha is a fully enlightened being, the only one of this era, however he was a human like any other who managed to awaken to truth.
True False
