What is Brahma Loka or Abode of God? ,Meaning of dissolution of world.

People think that Brahma Loka is a place like America. Brahma loka means the life in contact with God existing in human form on this earth and God existing in energetic form in the upper world. If a person on the earth is in contact with the human incarnation of God and subsequently after the death comes in contact with the energetic form of God in the upper world, such a person is said to be in the eternal Brahma loka, since he recognizes God here and there. This is stated as eternal life with God or Parmdhama (Tatdhama paramam mama…Gita). The soul is in human body on this earth and is in energetic form in the upper world. Therefore, God exists in the same common medium of the liberated soul to give this His eternal association (Nasapunaravartate…Brahma Sutra).

 

Devotees who have worshipped the statue of energetic form or past human incarnation in this world instead of contemporary human incarnation due to ego and jealousy, will reach the energetic form of God in Brahma Loka, but will return back due to repulsion between common media since they were also in the same energetic form (Punaravartinorjuna…..Gita). People have misunderstood that one, who reaches God in medium (Karya Brahman), reaches the original God (ParaBrahman or Nirguna Brahman), when the God in medium (Karya Brahman) dissolves in the original God during the final dissolution of the world. Even if the medium dissolves, the soul cannot reach the unimaginable God because when the medium dissolves, the soul also dissolves. The soul is a part of creation called as Paraprakruti in Gita.

 

The original single state of God before the first creation will not be attained again because God is not foolish to destroy the creation, which was done for His entertainment. You may say that God has the power to create it again. A producer of a cinema may be very rich to create the cinema again and if he does so, he will be certainly called as a fool. The dissolution of creation means closing the show of cinema on the curtain, but the cinema is stored in the form of film. Such subtle state of creation is called as Avyaktam. Therefore, there is no point of dissolution of God in medium (Karya Brahman or Eswhara). Since the medium exists, the soul also exists and hence the association of God becomes eternal. If you say that the soul has to dissolve in God, like sugar dissolved in water, the molecules of sugar remain separately along with the molecules of water. Here, the sugar in water exists separately in invisible microstate. If you say that sugar must be transformed in to water, the molecules of sugar have to be re-arranged into molecules of water by the re-arrangement of fundamental particles (protons, neutrons and electrons). Then the number of water molecules increase. It means God will increase in size after the transformation of soul in to God. This is not acceptable because God is constant without any change.

 

Alternatively, the soul should disappear and this is possible when the film is destroyed. But God is never such a fool! The single state of God is possible because it existed before the first creation and if God wishes it can be attained again. We do not say that it is impossible for God. We only say that God is wise to continue the creation in microstate of the film so that it can be projected for entertainment again and again. Hence, when the devotee reaches Eshwara, the devotee reached the original God also. The original God may enter the devotee also like the current entering the associated metallic wire from the live wire. In such case, you can say that the soul became God from the point of normal external view and you can call this as monism (Advaita). But in subtle view, God charges the soul and therefore dualism exists even in the monism on deep analysis. When sugar dissolves in water, you may say it as monism but in subtle view dualism exists because the invisible sugar molecules exist separately along with molecules of water as you can see in the microscope.
