dattaswami Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Whether God is sadist to create this world for His entertainment Some people criticize that God is enjoying the creation by entertaining Himself while the souls are troubled with problems and the blame God with sadism. The entertainment of God is not at all the sadism. Sadism is based on two points. One is: that the sadism is exhibited in reality in the world and not in the imaginary world. For God, this world is imaginary and not real. However, the sadism in the imaginary world may also show the attitude towards sadism in the mind. Even that point is ruled out because the second point for the sadism is: that a sadist enjoys by torturing some innocent person without justified reason. Here in the case of God, the problem of the soul in the world is based on its own actions and the punishment is given based on perfect justice. Hence, the point of sadism cannot be attributed to God even in mind. Moreover, the soul is not concerned with the entertainment of God because the soul is not punished on any unjust reason. If the soul follows the rules of God in the justice, no problem can be seen by the soul. A rich person started a college for entertainment or to escape the income tax on his wealth. This point is unnecessary for the student as long as the college is running on the rules of University. The student has scope to argue against the management provided any type of injustice takes place in teaching or in the examinations. As long as the academic program is perfectly implemented, the student has no scope of argument against the original intention of the management in starting the college. Only a student, who is not perfectly following the academic schedule, will bother about such irrelevant points to mask his own defects. If some body still argues on this point due to foolishness, the only answer is that God is the supreme most boss and there is no body to argue with Him. If an ant comments on the driver of car, such comment is not even heard by the driver! Since you do not know all the actions of a soul from its childhood, you should not say that a particular soul is good and yet is punished without justice. Neither you are capable of noting all the actions of a soul nor you are capable of judging the action in depth. Shankara established the nature of the world as unreal by itself and is felt real as long as the world exists based on God. Such unreal world is imaginary. The dream cannot be real without its basic material, which is the soul or awareness. Similarly, a pot without mud and a chain without gold are unreal and they are imaginary or illusory. But the world is imaginary to God only and not to your self. If you say that the world is imaginary for your self also and try to do sins, you will have to undergo all the punishments and you must feel the punishments also as imaginary like your sins! Your sins and their punishments are within the realm of the world only and hence both must be imaginary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sins and their punishments are within the realm of the world only and hence both must be imaginary! The matter, energy and awareness (a form of energy only) are real for the individual souls and hence the world made of these three items is not unreal. But, for God, the total world is unreal. However, for both God and individual soul, the common world consisting of these unreal bonds is unreal, which is the basis of the entertainment. You can entertain with unreal items only. The entertainment is not at all based on matter, energy and awareness, which are the three uniform phases without any difference. The difference only causes the design and brings the limits causing the individuality. The homogeneous single phase of cosmos (since matter, energy and awareness are inter convertible resulting in the final single phase of cosmic energy) is called as Brahman, in the form of creation (Karya Brahman) and this cannot give any entertainment. If you try to analyze God (Karana Brahman), it is also homogeneous phase of unimaginable entity. Shankara represented God by this single phased cosmic energy in the form of awareness (awareness is a special work form of energy) or Karya Brahman. This clearly means that neither Karya Brahman is God nor God charges Karya Brahman homogeneously. If such charging takes place, there is no difference between seer and seen. Such charging takes place in the case of human incarnation because if an individual soul is charged by God, such human incarnation can be the seer of the rest uncharged world (cosmic energy).

dattaswami Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Who are you to know whether God considers this world is imaginary and not real. see the above post also This creation consists of matter, awareness and energy as the components. Matter takes different forms like pot, table etc. Energy takes different work forms like light, heat etc. Awareness is also a special work form of energy only, which is generated when the energy functions in a special system called nervous system and brain. The work forms of awareness are ideas, which if become firm, are called as qualities (Gunas). For example charity is a quality, which in the initial stage is an idea only. This world is said to be constituted by the three fundamental qualities (Sattvam, Rajas and Tamas), but remember, this world is made of the three qualities only from the point of God. This means, for God only, this entire creation is imaginary. For a soul it is not so. For a soul this world is made of matter, energy and awareness. In fact, matter and awareness are also different forms of energy only. Hence, basically the creation is made of energy only. Awareness is the weakest form of energy. Hence, the conclusion is that this world made of energy is weakest for God and hence this world is just an imagination only for God. For the soul, the world is very strong because the soul itself is awareness or the weakest form of energy. This is the scientific explanation for the creation to be strong and real for the soul, where as the world is just the weakest form of energy or awareness modified in to qualities for God.

dattaswami Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) see the above post also This creation consists of matter, awareness and energy as the components.

For the soul, the world is very strong because the soul itself is awareness or the weakest form of energy. This is the scientific explanation for the creation to be strong and real for the soul, where as the world is just the weakest form of energy or awareness modified in to qualities for God. Final entity is God only, – the ultimate substratum of creation. The first creation is – this primordial energy or space, Akassha. Ultimate Nirgunam finally stands – for ultimate God only. But Nirgunam can also be used – relatively to created items. Radio is on a table – the table is finally standing on earth. Earth is the ultimate support – but table is also relatively, A support with respect to – the radio standing on it. Similarly, the inert energy – is called as Nirgunam relatively. The inert energy is entity – relatively with respect to awareness. Awareness is entity relatively – with respect to knowledge. The relative Nirgunam is not – the absolute Nirgunam, the God. Table is relative support – it is not absolute support, the earth. Space, invisible energy – appearing as vacuum or Shunyam, Generates visible energy or Agni – and matter in three states. Finally space generates – awareness, a special typical work. Mula Maya or space gives – matter, visible energy and awareness. These three are Maha Maya, – the conversion of Mula Maya Into Maha maya is apparent – from the view of Mula Maya. From the view of Maha Maya – conversion is real. Apparent conversion is Vivarta – real conversion is Parinama. If you see mud in the pot – conversion is apparent, If you see the pot only – conversion is real. Vivarta says that no pot exists – without the mud. Parinama says that pot brings water – but not the mud. Both are simultaneous truths – with respect to cause and effect. There is no difference between – Shankara and Ramanuja, Shankara is for Vivarta – Ramanuja is for Parinama. But the main point here is – conversion is limited here Between Mula Maya and Maha Maya – God is not here. Generation of Mula Maya – from God is not the topic. The evolution of Mula Maya – from God is unimaginable. Mula Maya is imaginable – but God is unimaginable. The production of imaginable – from unimaginable Does not exist anywhere – in this imaginable creation. Only conversion of imaginable – into imaginable is known. As Mula Maya generates Maha Maya – Maha Maya gives Maya. Matter gives forms; Agni gives qualities – like colors etc., Awareness gives feelings – like knowledge, love etc., Mula Maya With respect to God – Maha Maya w.r.t. Mula Maya, Maya w.r.t. Maha Maya is Mithya, – Mithya is relatively real. Entire creation is Maya, – Maha Maya and Mula Maya. The soul is in Maha Maya, – for soul Maya is Mithya. For God entire creation – is Mithya, not for the soul. The dream is Maya only – it is Mithya for the soul. But the creation is not – Maya alone to be Mithya For the soul, – creation is dream for God only. For the soul Maya in creation – is like the dream. Forms, qualities and feelings – constitute Maya in creation. When Shankara says that – the creation is Mithya For the soul, the creation – is confined to Maya only. Only the forms, qualities and feelings – are Mithya for soul. Primordial energy, - matter, visible energy and awareness Are Mithya for God only, – dream of the soul is a simile For the creation of God, – simile is only a simile, after all. Concept is creation of God, – simile is dream of soul. Through the simile – concept must be understood clearly. Simile should not be taken – as the very concept itself. The soul can enjoy the Maya part – of this creation as dream. But the soul should not treat – the other two parts as dream. For example take a girl, – the beautiful form of her body, The shining color of energy, - and her love, the feeling, All the three are Mithya – relative realities only for you With respect to her matter, – her energy and her awareness. You should not be trapped by – the Mithya part of the girl. But one should not think that – total girl herself is Mithya. The matter and energy of her body – and her awareness Are not Mithya, they are real – equal to your self. If you say that the girl is Mithya – you are also Mithya. Yourself and girl are Mithya – for the primordial energy. Both of you are Maha Maya – and Mithya for Mula Maya. Mula Maya is Mithya for God – both of you are also Mithya For God, who alone can create – Mula Maya or the space. A liberated soul blessed with – super powers from God Stands in the plane of Mula Maya, – Maha Maya is Mithya For him only, even he cannot – create the Mula Maya. The creator of Mula Maya is – God alone, God alone is The creator, Ruler and destroyer – of Mula Maya of creation. As God enjoys with relatively real – creation like a dream, You can enjoy the Maya part – of this creation as a dream. For God entire creation is cinema, – for you Maya alone is A similar cinema, Maya is cinema – in this creation-cinema. You are a part of cinema for God, – Maya is cinema for you. In a drama, roles are forms, – colors are visible qualities, Actions are feelings, all these three – are Mithya for you. But the stage, actors and lights – are not Mithya for you. With super powers you can control – Maha Maya as Mithya. But you cannot generate – the very Mula Maya or space. The energy liberated from – the fission of an atom can Destroy the total awareness – existing in all the humanity! You are a part of Maha Maya – controlled by Mula Maya. You cannot create even an atom – how can you be God? Advaitin says that awareness – is converted in to dream. The dream consists of living – and non-living objects together. He takes this similarity into – this entire creation and says that Since creation consists of – both living and non-living items, The cause of the universe – must be also the same awareness. Hence, he concludes that – soul is the common awareness. But the dream is not the actual – creation in anyway. There is similarity but both differ – in degree of reality.

dattaswami Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 You should try to make your thoughts more clear and simple. God = Karana Brahman Creation = Awareness + Energy + Matter Awareness = ideas (Sattvam, Rajas and Tamas) Awareness > Energy > Matter The world is a composite of 1) Primary energy (Mula Maya), 2) Matter, awareness and different forms of energy like light, heat etc. (Maha Maya) and 3) The forms of matter and feelings of awareness (Maya). For the soul only Maya is unreal because soul being awareness is in the higher plane. The soul is a part of Maha Maya. Maya is like the drama which is restricted to the roles and dialogues including actions (feelings). The actors, dresses, lights and stage constitute Maha Maya which remains even after the drama. Even if these items of Maha Maya are removed, the ground remains eternal which is like the Mula Maya. Therefore, with reference to the soul, only the drama is unreal. The Unreal world for the soul is restricted to the Maya only. If you define the world as Maha Maya and Mula Maya, it is real for the soul. If you define the world as Maya, Maha Maya and Mula Maya put together, it is mixture of reality and unreality and hence can neither be stated as real nor unreal (Mithya of Shankara). If you restrict the world to Maya only, it is nothing (Shunyam of Buddhists and Asat of Gaudapada). If you restrict the world to Maha Maya and Mula Maya, it is real (Sat of Ramanuja and Madhva). Therefore, with reference to the soul the world can be real or unreal or a mixture of both according to the limitations of the restricted part of the creation. If the reference is changed from soul to God, the entire creation is unreal because there is nothing other than God. But to prove the reality of the entertainment of God, the world has to be real for God also and this requires the separate existence of the world. A negligible part of God might have been modified into the world so that both the concepts can be simultaneously maintained. A negligible quantity can be treated almost nil. Such modification can be treated as real (Parinama) or apparent (Vivarta). It is immaterial because the modified part is very much negligible. But in any case, the knowledge of the nature of God becomes essential. All this can be accepted if you place the primary energy in the place of God. But the primary energy is only the first creation of God. Therefore, all this analysis ends with only the first item of the creation (Primary energy). The link between God and Primary energy is unimaginable since God Himself is unimaginable. This is the analysis that can be done with the help of scriptures, science and logic and experience of liberated souls. We can combine these two concepts and arrive at Primary energy charged by unimaginable God as the starting point to avoid defects from both sides. Now the problem is solved.

Guest Pedro Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 If my above statement is true, You also state Soul = Awareness + Energy + Matter Awareness = existence, a ruler, death So a person that understands thier existence, who it is that rules them, and the nature of the death will then be able to comprehend what is energy and matter. This person would also understand what is their soul. But you state that a soul does not equal creation. This makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dattaswami Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 If my above statement is true, You also state Soul = Awareness + Energy + Matter Awareness = existence, a ruler, death So a person that understands thier existence, who it is that rules them, and the nature of the death will then be able to comprehend what is energy and matter. This person would also understand what is their soul. But you state that a soul does not equal creation. This makes no sense. Soul is not energy or matter, it is awareness. But soul goes to its basic form of inert energy in deep sleep. Soul is produced from oxidation of food. The inert energy produced from the oxidation of food, when flow through nevervous system it become awareness. Thus for soul a medium is required . Soul is not a ruler or death. Soul is a part of creation. This world is ‘Mithya’, which means almost unreal because its reality is negligible. The existence of a tiny cut on your shirt is negligible and you will not count its existence. This entire world is almost unreal for God and is like a day dream. All the five elements viz. matter and energy are almost unreal in view of God. The soul is made of tender and weakest energy called as awareness (chit), which is nervous energy flowing in most delicate matter i.e. brain and nerves. This nervous energy is almost negligible before the physical matter and inert energy and this physical matter and energy are negligible before God. Thus, the soul is twice negligible for God. The most negligible item of this world is the soul. The qualities or feelings (gunas) are like waves of soul. They are negligible before the existence of soul. The water associated with some kinetic energy induced becomes a wave. The wave represents that kinetic energy. The physical existence in terms of visibility of energy is negligible before the matter. Thus the wave representing energy is also not completely unreal and can be called as ‘Mithya’. The subtle body made of these qualities is Mithya before the soul. Thus a dream made of feelings is Mithya before a soul. What are these bonds like parents, wife, children etc? These bonds are only just feelings, which are waves of the nervous energy. A father and daughter or a brother and sister separated from the beginning met in a foreign country and got married. Later on they realised and could not continue as couple. The daughter of sister is married but the daughter of brother is treated as daughter. In some other region and religion, the system is reversed! It is the wave of mind or feeling that is the essence of a bond. Therefore all these bonds are almost unreal (Mithya) for a soul. Why there should be tensions, murders and suicides for the sake of these almost unreal bonds? Why there should be corruption for the sake of these almost unreal bonds and go to hell for the sin of corruption? It is these bonds that form the meaning of the word ‘world’ for the soul when the world is said to be Mithya and not the physical world. This is the essence of Shankara, which is misunderstood and the soul treats the physical world as unreal! An ignorant soul thinks that these bonds are real and undergoes tensions.

dattaswami Posted September 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 If my above statement is true, and matter. This person would also understand what is their soul. But you state that a soul does not equal creation. This makes no sense. I will slightly explain more on this so that you may understand the concepts more clearly The first creation that came from God is space or inert energy. Akasa (space) and Tejas (inert energy) are one and the same because space is a form of inert energy only. Matter, work, light, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism and awareness are also other forms of inert energy. Our imagination cannot cross the limits of space. The link or process of production between God and space is also unimaginable like God. This link is beyond space and God is beyond this link. The space is called as Mahat. The link is called as Avyaktam which means unimaginable. The Parabrahman is mentioned as purusha. The Veda says that Avyaktam is beyond space and purusha is beyond Avyaktam (Mahatah paramavyaktam avyaktat purushah parah). God is first. Space is second. Air is third. We can explain the generation of third from second, but not the second from first. Second and third are imaginable items. Space or energy became air. Air means atoms. This is energy condensing into matter. This process of condensation is explicable and debatable. This process is parinama or vivarta. If matter is different from energy only by quantitative way it is vivarta like water condensed to ice. Vivarta brings only physical difference. The parinama is qualitative difference like milk becoming curd. Before the creation of matter, only energy exists. If energy is condensed, it should be vivarta process only, which is physical. But if all the mater is energy only, how the qualitative difference came between items of matter? There cannot be qualitative difference between blocks of ice having various sizes. One block of ice may be more concentrated (or condensed) but it cannot bring a qualitative difference. But the qualitative difference between the milk and curd is practically experienced in the world. Milk and curd are also condensed products of same energy and may have quantitative difference. Thus this point of contradiction brings the unimaginability, which is the characteristic of God. Therefore, the presence of the unimaginable power of God (Maya) is everywhere in the world. The Gita says that this Prakruti is also Maya (Mayam tu prakrutim). Thus the entire world is affected by the hidden power of God (Maya), which is known by deep analysis. When the energy and work are essentially same, the different quantities of energy-drops (electrons) giving rise to different properties mean different works of God giving rise to different properties. Here the wonder is that the working material and work are one and the same in essence. Therefore, the unimaginable God does wonderful works and His work it self is the working material. The work is power of God, which it self is the working material. All this creation is work without any separate working material because the working material itself is a form of work. According to science also, any material (matter) is a form of energy and work is also a form of the same energy. Thus, this wonder exists in science, which says that matter is a condensed form energy. For the process of condensation, space is required and the space should be different from energy for the process of condensation to take place. But space is a form of energy as per the special theory of relativity. In such case, how the energy is condensed? Because, space is also energy. This is another wonder. Like this, when this nature (Prakruti) is analyzed, it is a wonder (Maya) only as said in Gita (Mayam tu..). Thus, Maya becomes the inner substratum of the world. God is the substratum of Maya (Mayinam tu…Gita). Thus, God is the final substratum of this world. The generation of matter on condensation of energy and the transformation of matter in to energy by dilution are wonders in the context of space being the energy. Thus, the generation, maintenance on substratum and dissolution are works of Maya, which mean wonders of God. Such wonder is for souls only and is well known to God and therefore it is not a wonder to God. Thus, Maya is a logic or science for God, just like the nature is a logical science to the souls. It is only higher logic or super science of God which is above the level of souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Wilbur Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Matter, work, light, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism and awareness are also other forms of inert energy. Our imagination cannot cross the limits of space. What you are talking about is yet another expansion of the equivalency principle, which is relativistic physics. You can imagine this theory from any number of points of view. For example, you could describe everything in terms of energy or spacetime or whatever. Everything in our known universe is destined to a future of uniformity. Physics even accepts the idea that entropy defines the direction of time. All objects with mass have an associated energy: Sensible energy - the portion of the internal energy of a system associated with kinetic energies (molecular translation, rotation, and vibration; electron translation and spin; and nuclear spin) of the molecules. Latent energy - the internal energy associated with the phase of a system. Chemical energy - the internal energy associated with the different kinds of aggregration of atoms in matter. Nuclear energy - the tremendous amount of energy associated with the strong bonds within the nucleus of the atom itself. Energy interactions those types of energies not stored in the system (e.g. heat transfer, mass transfer, and work), but which are recognized at the system boundary as they cross it, which represent gains or losses by a system during a process. Thermal energy t-he sum of sensible and latent forms of internal energy Entropy describes the degradation of energy to perform work. All forms of energy are degraded incessantly and irreversibly to an inferior, lower-quality, more-randomized form of energy: Heat. Chain of life on earth: energy brings evolution. Life is an energy intensive process. It takes energy to operate muscles, extract wastes, make new cells, heal wounds, even to think. It's in an organism's cells where all this energy is spent. In some cells, as much as half of a cell's energy output is used to transfer molecules across the cell membrane, a process called "active transport." The brain itself weighs only about 3 pounds, yet its 10 billion brain cells use about 20% of the body's energy supply. Descartes used extension in space as the criterion to distinguish between mental entities (unextended) and physical ones (extended). Existential awareness can be due to informational "crosswiring" in the somatosensory cortex that can produce mental entities simular to phantom limb sensations. Awareness is an informational process to impose order on the environment with a desire to transcend its physical limitations and to attain a kind of freedom by entering a space of infinite depth. Generative energy is produced from relationships between different components of our environment. Awareness is a type of generative energy that integrates relationships between external stimuli and our memory. Plants, trees, animals and human beings all operate under the generative process to survive and create. Language is a generative process that originates in ones awareness of an environmental event or scene. This process is then referenced and instructed to others. It has been suggested that the a gene such as the FOXP2 protein sequence may have undergone a mutation allowing humans to generate language.

dattaswami Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thanks for that nice reply, Even the human being itself is a work of God. Hence, the human being identified by the life or mind or awareness is called as Paraprakruti. Prakruti means best work. Kruti means work. The prefix Pra means best. This world is wonderful and hence is called as Prakruti or best work. Within this best work, life or mind or intelligence denoting basic awareness is again the best of best. Para means best. Paraprakruti means best in the best work. Hence, the life itself is work. The awareness is the basic material of life or mind or intelligence. In fact, awareness is the best special type of work done by inert energy produced in the oxidation of food. This inert energy enters a special system called as nervous system and does a special work and this special work is called as awareness. The effects of this special work are desires (Samkalpa) and discussions of desires in various ways (Vikalpa) constituting the field of mind. The final effect of this awareness or special work is intelligence, which takes decision (Nischaya). The life is Prana or oxygen maintained by the respiratory system that is needed to oxidize the food taken by the digestive system. The life is in plants. The mind requires nervous system, which is developed in birds and animals. The main part of nervous system is brain, which is well developed in human beings. Even the inert energy is a form of work only. Matter, which is a form of inert energy, is also work only. Hence, the entire creation involving matter, inert energy and awareness is just work only. The work needs worker and the worker is God. Hence, the entire creation consisting of inert matter, inert energy, plants, birds, animals and human beings is just the work of God only.

dattaswami Posted November 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Thanks for that nice reply, According to science, inert energy is basic material of this universe, which creates, maintains and finally dissolves entire creation and is the God of science. The design of the world doesn’t require the need of awareness because a long duration of time has set up the design of world perfectly by the theory of probability. Scientists do not accept the necessity of an intellectual agent to design this wonderful world as philosophers imagine in Vedanta (Brahmasutras). If this is the end of the story, science could have easily disposed the proposal of Vedanta and the scriptures can be easily concluded as poetic imaginations of certain poets. It can be easily concluded that certain people have created this poetry to exploit the society in the name of God. Anyone can easily believe science and by this time the world should have been filled with atheists only and today, the minority should be theists. But surprisingly the majority is theists and minority is only atheists. The atheists say that since majority is uneducated, theism exists due to possibility of easy exploitation of uneducated people. But even educated people show majority of theists only all over the world. What is the reason for this? The reason for this is that the unimaginable God is showing miracles in the lives of several people to establish the existence of unimaginable God. Not only this, the unimaginable God is exhibiting unimaginable miracles through several devotees and also demons widely. Not only this, God is coming in human form and is offering explanation of the miracles and concept of God. Genuine miracles are many in the world and the minority of atheists is unable to dispose these miracles as magic. You may write the correct answer through copying in the examination. Some body might have also written the same correct answer without copying in the examination. Since the answer is one and same, can you say that the other person who has written the correct answer also copied necessarily? The product may be same but the methods of production vary. Sodium chloride can be produced in several ways. You have produced it in one way. I have produced it in another way. The end product is the same sodium chloride. You cannot say that I have also produced in your way only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
