Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Ajith, I will agree to what you are saying,I was looking for such an answer,Question is Program is created by whom,or is it Vishnu himself is a part of a program. that is a question.But what ever you have tried to explains ,seem more understable. But i don't understand about karmas and prarabhd,Than question arises is who was a first person to do a sin,and why did he do that.So this all brings to what I have have said. --- ajith wrote: Shirpal > wrote:Hi MARK,Rohiniji and ALL, Can we think a little different way,as Lord hassaid "whatever is going to happen is going to Happen ,No one in this universe can change that,not even lord himself" What I understand from this statement is that, World is like a movie,God has made it,every thing and each and every character is decided,Not only I am talking about yugas,But of all the yugas,From a time of making of this world to end of this world or movie. Karmas are terms that we use,Nothing such a sort exists.Every thing is a way it is ,and it has been decided. I disagree with what Shirpal has mentioned. It borders on fatalism. The purpose of creation is not because the creator wants to direct a prearranged movie. There is no joy in that for that which is said to Bliss itself. The purpose of creation is for the absolute, para Brahman to experience or know Himself Since there is none other than Himself, Maha purusha sacrificed himself into manifold and entered the relative plane or Maya.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Why are you so focused on the primal sin as if it is a one and only make and break thing as some of the newer religions would have us believe? Maybe it was the primal good deed that kept this creation going, despite all the sins and negativity? The world has had more than one chance for total annihilation, through chemical physical means, through wars, through economic depression and so on. But the Creation keeps going, even if we just focus on our little tiny world. I think ww should treat karma as something that is neutral and that could have a negative or positive form. As long as there is some negative, and some positive, the game continues! , Shripal <askvbnet> wrote: > Hi Ajith, > > I will agree to what you are saying,I was looking > for such an answer,Question is Program is created by > whom,or is it Vishnu himself is a part of a program. > that is a question.But what ever you have tried to > explains ,seem more understable. > > But i don't understand about karmas and prarabhd,Than > question arises is who was a first person to do a > sin,and why did he do that.So this all brings to what > I have have said. > > --- ajith@o... wrote: > > > Shirpal > > wrote:Hi MARK,Rohiniji and ALL, > Can we think a little different way,as Lord hassaid > "whatever is going to happen is going to Happen ,No > one in this universe can change that,not even lord > himself" > What I understand from this statement is that, > World is like a movie,God has made it,every thing and > each and every > character is decided,Not only I am talking about > yugas,But of all the > yugas,From a time of making of this world to end of > this world or movie. > Karmas are terms that we use,Nothing such a sort > exists.Every thing is a > way it is ,and it has been decided. > > > I disagree with what Shirpal has mentioned.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Dear fellas, I'ld like to answer a few questions: > who was a first person to do a sin, and why did he do that. Ans... As per our Vedas, nature or this world has been persistent for infinite time. So, the answer of your question will mean a travel back to infinite time, which in itself is contradiction... > Question is Program is created by whom,or is it Vishnu himself is a part of a program. Ans... Yeah, Geeta preaches that neither Vishnu, neither Shiva nor Brahma are the Gods. The reason that they are revered is because they 've discovered the truth. In the cycle of recreation and destruction of this nature even these Gods keep rotating. As mythology says, after 100 years of Brahma the "shrishti" is destroyed and then recreated. Just 12 hours in a day of Brahma are equivalent to hundreds of Yugas' cycle. Finally, who is the creator? Brahma. But who's energy is the source of such creation? That's "Brahm". Notice the diff. between "Brahma" and "brahm". > But i don't understand about karmas and prarabhd? Prarabhd doesn't exist. Karmas is everything. In Geeta, Sri Krishna dictates Arjun regarding the importance of karma. See it smthing like this.... There are infinite possibilities in this "shrishti". When I say possibilities, it denotes the potential activities that can be carried on in this universe. Things are going to happen anyway. That's what Krishna tells Arjun : "Kauravas have been killed, already.. u r just a medium." Now here our free will or lets say karmas which come into action. And it's totally up to us that whether we want to grab this ongoing action and get associated with it. What you are going to do today will be your fate tomorrow. Things are going to happen anyway, if you wont some other will do it. So, Arjun fought back for the "restoration" of dharma and he got the "phal" as the kingdom. Here, I mentioned that Krishna said "Things are going to happen anyway." When I said this it means there is sm1 who controls all this, which is "brahm" as I mentioned above. And who is "brahm"? It's the "I" within us. In this way, karmas are everything. There is no one who controls our destiny. We ourselves are slaves, because we want to be slaves. As long as human wants to get associated with karmas, the "karm-bandhan" shall also is attached. The choice is yours. Do you want to be in the creator's category or still want to underestimate yourself and keep on asking question's regarding your fate ?? Ps: I feel that I've hurried up for the sake of not getting digressed from the main question. Well, for any clarifications you are welcome. Thanks n regards Saurabh B. rohiniranjan [rrgb] Saturday, May 15, 2004 9:37 AM Re: : Fate of a person can be changed....To Ajith Why are you so focused on the primal sin as if it is a one and only make and break thing as some of the newer religions would have us believe?
