Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Dear Kishore,Bhagavan and His unlimited shaktis, such as spiritual shakti (Vaikuntha), his jiva shakti (us), and his material shakti (Maya) have always been in existance. There was never a beginning. It is sanatan, always like this. If there is no beginning, then where is the question of WHY? The only question of WHY is why are YOU here? You have the power to choose Sadhana and exit this maya at death. So ask yourself WHY you are here?Y/s,RichardRichard Shaw Brown, PGMusician, Designer, Gemologist & Authorwww.richardshawbrown.com--- On Fri, 27/3/09, kishore kishore <mydearindian wrote:kishore kishore <mydearindianMy question still asking me..do u have answer?.rsbj66Date: Friday, 27 March, 2009, 4:36 AMDear Brother Richard, Again my same old question is hitting my mind? Please advice me a divine living person to clear my query. If you can clear it then it would be great otherwise introduce me a living saint who can clear my question. Below is my same old question. Bhagavat Gita, Bible, The Prophet and all other sacred books of all different religions did not tell why God wanted to create this universe? In GITA Krishna says that he does not have starting and ending. He says he is everything. He says he only knows Himself. Why is he that much complicated? What is his origin. Without knowing why GOD is created all these activities how can I accept him as God? I know that I am making a sensible question. If you think my question is non-sense then kindly let me know in which way it is non-sense. In King of Baharat story Bharat very sweetly explained that material sense is non-sense and he explained the importance of soul. But he did not explain why Lord created people and universe and what is his motto behind this universe. I appreciate Bharat for knowing God. But did God tell Bharat anything about his origin? If your answer is -à God created this universe for his own happiness then how can I understand him? If creating a false game is his happieness then how can I pray him and in which way I must understand him. 1 Why Arjuna did not ask Lord Krishna about the origin of Supreme Lord? Supreme Lord told that he does not have any origin and Arjuna simply agreed? Well again why did he agree on it? 2 According to Bible Satan was there when God was there but god did not kill the satan because he wants people to choose God with free will. I don’t understand this. If God killed Satan then every one would know only God. Just to recognize him he did not kill Satan. What kind of plan it is and why? No one knows. Is it not a selfish plan to seek reorganization? I am not humanizing God here but still why God intended t create it. 3 Lord Buddha realized God and he told about different karmas. He says if anyone does good karma then for them there is a separate world and if anyone does more good karma then there is a world of angels like that he kept on explaining his knowledge. But sad thing is he also did not explain why this many things created by God and what is his motto. He claims that he got enlightenment then why did he not tell about that secret. 4 Ramana Maharshi told one must ask to oneself “ Nan evearu†in tamil. I mean he says that one must ask “who am I “. If really I come to know that I am a soul then also my question remains same. What is the need to create it (soul) ...Ramana Maharshi did not tell and passed away, why? I read Bahagavat Gita several Times. Lord Krishna says that he is the main origin for everything and he says he does everything. Even a single sloka of Gita did not answer my question. My question is why Lord Krishna created all these things and what is the benefit he is going to get by creating all these things. God did not tell in any scripture why God thought to create this universe but he keep telling in all scriptures that he is everything. And the saints who got real knowledge of God also did not tell and did not ask why their God had created this universe, instead of that everyone realized him and praised him only. I agree that God is very good and sweet. Do you know any scripture in this world which can answer my question? If you did not understand my question then kindly ask me again. I will try to explain my question again. Have a nice & productive day, With Best wishes, M.kishore. If you don't like to read this E-mail then please mention in subject line "REMOVE".

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Actually the only way to know WHY Bhagavan created material energy, is to perform Yoga, then enter Vaikuntha at death, meet with Bhagavan face to face, and ask HIM. The only problem is that when you enter Vaikuntha and meet Bhagavan, you will no longer remember Maya.

The question is WHY did the PROCESS of existence (spiritual world, endless material creations and dissolutions, and jivatma is one or the other... this PROCESS is eternal, without beginning or end, SANATAN. So the only " why " lay with us as to WHY do we remain in the material nature when we are spiritual nature. There is NO WHY TO ETERNITY...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dear Kishore Ji Jaya Siyaa Raam My son and I also have the same question. You are asking only about " Universe " and we are asking actually about ourselves. I don't think anybody can answer this question, not even any living saint. Why, because such as a poet writes any poetry and only he knows why did he write that poetry, in the same way only God knows why did He create this world and us in that world. So only He can answer that, nobody else. So aspire to meet God and ask HIM this first question that " Why did you create this world and us in it? " I have left asking this question from anybody.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 **The Jews in Nazi murder camps; the Cambodians in Killing Fields; Rawanda, and the like, could all ask WHY??? Why does God have such a horrible and bad creation within Him. If God is everything then He must be also partly bad. That could be a conclusion. (But it is not my conclusion). Did Arjuna ask Lord Krishna in the Gita about Why? Why did he not ask Bhagavan face to face, WHY? Does God have an evil aspect? Does He create bad-guys just for the fun of killing them? Is Maya God's " shooting gallery " ? Too bad that a lot of good people get killed in the process. In fact ALL GOOD PEOPLE are killed by Maya-kala-chakra, along with all bad people. That is the process of birth and death and rebirth. But WHY this " process " ? If God created evil, and He is everything, and everything in Him, then He is responsible and to blame? Is He partly evil? Krishna told Arjuna that evil was caused by Rajo-guna.. (kama-esha kroda-esha rajo-guna samudbhavam! - by lust and anger caused by Raja guna. So Arjuna knew what was cause of evil. Maya is like a gun, it cannot shoot by itself. But why God created " foolish souls " in bondage of Maya? If one creates evil then they are responsible for it? Like Dr. Frankenstein created an evil monster (just for fun) in a fictional attempt to imitate God (by creating life) in the material world.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The Sefer Bahir (“Book of Brightness,†ca. 12th century), the earliest articulation of what later came to be called Kabbalah, declares in a parable that when the king began building his palace (that is, when God began creating the world), a spring gushed forth. When he saw the spring, he said, “I will plant a garden, then I will delight (or “playâ€) in it, I and the whole world†(§ 5, Kaplan 1989: 3). Creation is seemingly both God’s act of delight or play, and a gift of delight to all the creatures. The playful garden that the king planted is described later in the Bahir as the Tree of Life. This Cosmic Tree is defined in later Kabbalah as a particular pattern called the Sefirot (singular: Sefirah), which are together the image of God, or what Gershom Scholem (1991) called “the mystical shape of the Godhead.†The Sefirot are regarded alternatively as divine attributes, essence, emanations, instruments or vessels; different perspectives are emphasized by different kabbalists. The kabbalists in general found God by tracing back the pattern of God’s unfoldment (to borrow David Bohm’s term) through the levels of emanation, from one Sefirah to the next, and from one world to the next. These levels represent the way in which divine energies such as love and judgment, male and female, hidden and manifest, and so on, are balanced and made manifest. Everything has within it the essence and image of those supernal levels. The unifying concept in Kabbalah is that the structure of each “holon†manifests the Sefirot and so bears witness to the image of God. (“Holon†is Ken Wilber’s term for the way the nature of every being reflects the whole of what he calls “the Kosmos.â€) At each level and within each entity, the kabbalists saw the pattern of the Sefirot in a manner that we might call fractal or holographic. Holism. Kabbalah embraced a holistic view of the universe which called for the expansion of divinity into the physical world. Kabbalah represents the theological science (in the medieval sense of the term) that draws all the worlds, including dimensions of God and Nature, into one realm, one whole. “Implicit [in Kabbalah] is a notion of sacred cosmology. . . . The kabbalists’ faith involves a hierarchy of worlds that are ontologically higher than the material world†(Krassen 1999: 137). The work of the kabbalist is to draw the higher worlds into the lower and to unite the lower with the higher. This tendency is most pronounced in the radical cosmogony that some texts propose: The universe is regarded as the shards of an original creation that shattered while it was still in the realm of the divine, carrying “sparks†of divinity into what became the physical realm. Each of these sparks is some part of the divine that has been alienated from its root. Human beings provide the vehicle to repair this brokenness and reunite the sparks with the whole. Equally important, the process that begins creation is understood to be a contraction of God, called tzimtzum, which makes space for the world to emerge. Isaac Luria (1534-1572, Palestine) in particular used images of birth to describe this process, suggesting quite literally that the universe or Nature is somehow commensurable with God and birthed by God in the way that a child is with its mother. These tropes teach that the human purpose in Creation is to unify all realms of being with and within the divine. The kavanot or opening incantations that kabbalists added to their prayers expressed this purpose: “for the sake of the unification of the Holy One and the Shekhinah (indwelling presence).†One of the most beautiful expressions of this idea is found in the remarkable opening prayer of the original Tu biSh’vat seder (a kabbalistic ritual meal in honor of the Mishnaic New Year for the trees, interpreted as the cosmic Tree), which is found in the book Chemdat Yamim (“Treasure of Daysâ€, 17th cent.): O God who makes, and shapes, and creates, and emanates the upper worlds, and in their form and pattern you created their model on the earth below; You made them all with wisdom, upper ones above and lower ones below, to join together the tent to become one . . . . And this day is the beginning of your works, to ripen and renew . . . . May it be Your will that the merit of our eating the fruit, and meditating on the secret of their roots above, you will bless them, flowing over them the flow of desire and energy, to make them grow and bloom, for good and for blessing, for good life and for peace . . . . And may the Whole return now to its original strength . . . and may all the sparks that were scattered by our hands, or by the hands of our ancestors, or by the sin of the first human against the fruit of the tree, be returned to sustain in might and majesty the Tree of Life. “Then the trees of the forest will sing out,†and the tree of the field will raise a branch and make fruit . . .

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Let me attempt your question no.1 with my tiny ability. Question is-1) Why did God create " foolish souls " ? That seems to be a foolish and faulty creation! A.INfect there is No foolish souls in this universe,all souls one day will end their journey of birth and rebirth cycle,those who keep taking birth are because of Karmas they did present and in past,the day washing process will be over their journey of entering into foolish body shell will end.Pralays is nothing but a tripping switch of God,the day he feels that game is over pralaya will come,in difficult time we have seen all soulds act with unity ex.floods,quakes.I have seen worst people start crying in natural calamities and offer his help to others,moment troubles are over we find same cruel guy again(this you too must have experenced).I am not devotess like other members but I feel that foolish souls we see around are not born foolish but turned foolish due to their karmas.God's quality control is top class,have you seen any living person eating with ear and watching with nose?Nupe-why?If God can maintain his quality control in shells(body)no way he can maipulate the machine(soul)inside the body,our eyes are faulty to see someone as foolish.Only Sthitpragya can see equal and we are not Sthitpragya. sacred-objects , " Richard Shaw Brown " <rsbj66 wrote: > > This reply could easily raise 3 issues: > > 1) Why did God create " foolish souls " ?

You are asking only about " Universe " and we are asking actually about ourselves. I don't think anybody can answer this question, not even any living saint.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 >yes that may be so.i don't think the no. is important,rather the direction of the mind.if one is walking the wrong direction,filling one's mind with irrelevant second hand knowledge and ideas to understanding truth,one will not have the space of mind to have any realisations . in the case of Lord Buddha,obviously he attained to supreme enlightenment by walking the true path and by asking the right questions.from my understanding, the Buddha wanted to find a way to overcome suffering and to free the mind of defilements by purification. so the question such as what is the cause of suffering and how to overcome suffering were paramount. i don't really think Sakyamuni was concerned about marketing or politics at all. regards terry The 14 wrong questions; the 10 commandments; the top 10, 3 types of > suffering, all these numbers.
