Your Essay Why
God made this world. Does God feel happy & sad and contented when he
made the world ? Is god not "satchidanand". What is the definition of God.
Vijay
Kumar:
Do not go
after the literal meaning alone. If it is written in Mahabharata
that Lord
Krishna once when he had lost his ball in a lake came out dancing on
the head of a serpent named Kalia ... do you really think such a thing has ever
happened? No ... it is just a way of expressing the might of Lord Krishna.
If
I am referring to the fact that God when he did not feel happy for there was neither
pain nor happiness to be seen anywhere in the world created it ... does not mean
that God Almighty has a Sakaar form ... God Almighty is always in Nirakaar form
... it is without a form ... it is a cluster of pure energy. If God is pure energy
... where does the question of his creating happiness and pain arise?
I
shall explain the total concept in detail-
Happiness and pain are both different
sides of the same coin. For one the glass is half empty ... for the other half
full. For some even happiness is pain and misery. and pain a way out of this mortal
world. Only after the death of a body that our atman the soul within shall get
a new body. In the mortal world someone dies ... in the domain of Atmans souls
nothing has died ... rather the soul is taking a new body ... it is time for cheer!
I do not know whether
you have come across the old procedure of polishing utensils made of brass ...
and particularly copper. The total procedure comprises of heating the utensil
up to a certain temperature so that all the dross ... the dust gets peeled off
on its own. Thereafter this utensil is again heated and a polish applied to the
surface of the utensil. The moment the polish is complete ... this utensil is
immersed in cold water. Even after this if the polish is not to the satisfaction
the whole process of heating the utensil, polishing it and putting it in the cold
water is repeated.
Till
the time utensil remains in the cold water ... it is the time happiness is experienced
by us. The moment the utensil is put in the heat ... we experience pain. It is
the process of happiness and pain that we carry out our Karma to remove the dross
within our atman the soul within ... and as the soul proceeds on its cosmic journey
... the function of the body is merely to enhance its progress towards the ultimate
goal and in the process the body sometimes suffers pain and sometimes experiences
happiness.
If
someone thinks of becoming immortal in the physical manifest form he is totally
mistaken ... immortality can only be had when we reach the 8.4 millionth manifestation
... the last in the
cycle of birth and death... after this manifestation it is only Moksha
Salvation one can achieve. Only after gaining immortality does one become free
of the sufferings forever.
For an atman soul, which comes back to its pristine pure form... there is nothing
like happiness or pain. Yet, we Human Beings continue to gloat over the fact that
someday we can gain immortality. Unless we burn ourselves in the pious heat of
Spirituality (Agni) ... we cannot get liberated forever from cycle of Birth and
Death. If there were no requirement for sufferings and happiness then there would
not have been any Cosmos.
For
... all atmans in the cosmos would have remained in their pristine pure form and
there was no need for an atman the soul within to manifest a body. Whenever we
need to shape an iron rod, we first strike it with a hammer ... and put it in
the fire ... dip it in the water ... the whole process is repeated again and again
until we get the desired results.
The
process of suffering and happiness continues unabated ... if we think that we
can manage happiness forever ... it is just not possible ... even the richest
man on earth cannot guarantee happiness forever.
Yes, a god realized soul is always happy for he has for all practical purposes
burnt out this entire Karma and only then it was possible for him to have Realized
God. The moment we do away with the Karma ... the need for suffering ceases. Self
Realization is the ultimate goal of life ... whether we try to gain Self Realization
in the present life or leave it for the next life is solely dependent upon us.
Who knows what we shall be in our next manifestation.
Talking
of God Almighty ... it has always been a Dhrishta (an onlooker) ... Once the Cosmos
has been created and until the dissolution of cosmos occurs (the time of pralaya
in Hinduism) ... God does not interfere in its creation. It is a clock like work
... the doctrine of Karma takes over from the day atman the soul within starts
on its first journey ... the manifestation as an amoeba ... subsequently it evolves
into an insect, then a plant, an animal and finally as a human being.
The whole process from the
form of an amoeba to the level of Moksha Salvation as a human being requires 8.4
million manifestations (a cosmic travel of 96.4 million years by the Atman, the
soul within).
The prime reason why God has created Swarga and Naraka (Heaven and hell) ... until
the time an atman the soul within gets a body in between different manifestations
it remains in Swarga Heaven if the balance of residual Karma is positive in nature
... if it is negative then we get Naraka hell. For an atman the soul within to
manifest a body ... it needs matching parents ... and if for some reason the matching
parents are not available on Mother Earth then Atman either lives in Swarga Heaven
or Naraka hell.
But
for attaining Moksha Salvation every atman the soul within has to come down to
mother earth. The biggest misnomer amongst Human Beings that everyone wants to
go to Heaven after death carries no meaning ... it is purely dependent upon the
residual Karma of past lives and the present life. As we sow ... so shall we reap
... nothing more or less!
If
our residual Karma is such that we shall go to Naraka after death of body ...
no number of Prayers can change our destiny. If we desire Swarga in the interim
stages of evolution... we need to perform pious deeds and earn Punya
Karma.
In the
system of God there is nothing like miracles ... all is the result of a law, which
cannot err! The system of God is not disordered at any stage as has been pointed
out by Stephen Hawking in his book "a brief history of time". As a physicist and
a scientist he is totally mistaken ... sitting on the higher platform of life
he cannot continue to misguide the humanity ... it is his ignorance of the matter
that he has presumed the system of God to be disordered at any stage. It just
cannot be.
The system
of God is foolproof. Since times immemorial it is running perfectly ... we do
not find the moon striking the sun or any other star colliding with another. So
is not to be.
Spirituality
starts where science ends ... we cannot hope of getting a full view of New York
standing on the second floor of the Empire State building ... we need to go to
the top ... we need to practice Celibacy for a continuous minimum period of 12
years ... we need to awaken are kundalini fully ... only then the lift of spiritual
life would become available to us. The moment we are at the top ... there is no
going further ... we have reached the 8.4 millionth manifestation ... we can only
gain Moksha Salvation.

"When a human being
makes a model, a static one, he initially is very happy over his invention for
the first time. What next! He dreams of putting life into it ... make his model
dynamic ... more about as a robot under his absolute command. Similarly, when
the world was made by god, he did not feel happy for there was neither pain nor
happiness to be seen anywhere".
I
have quoted this from your Essay "Why God made this world". Does God feel happy
& sad, did he not feel contented when he made the world ? From what I have read
about God he is supposed to be "satchidanand". The above statement of your contradicts
this definition of God mentioned in the vedas,etc. Kindly clarify at the earliest.
