dattaswami Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Abode of God or Brahma loka is the place where God lives Abode of God called, as Brahma loka or – Vaikuntha or Kailasa is not A particular place existing some where, - it is the place where God lives, God can live in any place as He likes, - He does not exist everywhere. His power exists everywhere, - you can say indirectly that God is Existing everywhere, if He is – everywhere like gold in the chain, Veda cannot say that God entered – the world after creating it. God exists in this world in human form – in every human generation Giving equal chance to every generation, - a human being charged by God Becomes God like live wire, - similarly in the second upper world, sky, Which is called as Bhuvarloka or Dyuloka or – Jyotirloka, abode of stars, God exists charging energetic body – of sun called as Surya Narayana. If you take isolated medium only, - the sun, he is only servant of God. Similarly, in human incarnation, - if you isolate the human being, He is just a liberated soul selected – by God to become human incarnation. Veda says that two birds live on tree, - one is God and other is the soul Selected by God, simile can be – applied even to ordinary human being. One is soul and other is intellect, -In both cases tree is inert gross body. Yoga Vasishtha explains monism, - remember, it is told to Rama, who is The human incarnation already, - the subject is limited to incarnation only. Vasishtha is also human incarnation, - He is Brahma in human form here. Monism applies to speaker also, - If you extend it to every body, Then the speaker is only a sage, - the medium or the liberated soul. Gita told to Arjuna refers to God – present in Krishna, a liberated soul. But same Krishna as medium or – the liberated soul told Gita again. In the first Gita, monism is limited to – Krishna only and not to everybody. The second chapter explains about – soul to be isolated from gross body.
