ancient_paztriot Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hayagriva dasa: Mill saw it more like an actual struggle between God and Satan, or evil. Srila Prabhupada: There is struggle because the demons are always transgressing God’s rules. A demon is one who rejects God’s rules, and a demigod is one who accepts them. That is the main difference, as stated in the sastras. Hayagriva dasa: But Mill pictures God Himself as struggling hard in the fight to conquer the demons. Srila Prabhupada: God has no reason to struggle. According to the Vedas, He is so powerful that He has nothing to do. Just as a king may have many servants, ministers, and soldiers to carry out his desires, Krsna has many energies that act according to His order. Krsna Himself has nothing to do. he is playing His flute and enjoying Himself. That is ananda. Although He is enjoying Himself, the universe is going on in accordance with his orders, through the agencies of His multi-energies. There is no question of God struggling. He doesn’t even have to fight. His various agents can easily enough kill all the evil elements in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
