The system of God... Why do we suffer?

Our assumption that God भगवान् plays an active role in his creation is wrong. God भगवान has always been a Dhrista दृष्टा onlooker. It never indulges in the creation of his. Try understanding the definition of God in its entirety... you would understand the crux of life!

Now what truly is the meaning of God भगवान् ? Is it not a source of unlimited energy? Something that can neither be created nor destroyed! God भगवान् never has a form. It has always been Nirakaar निराकार (without a form).

Let us go to the beginning of the cosmos. Imagine a situation when the Cosmos is about to dissolve... the time of Pralaya.प्रलय The whole Cosmos reduces back to half the size of a thumb. And what is this half a thumb. This half a thumb is what we define as God भगवान् . The cluster of all purified souls आत्मा in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we call God भगवान् . And this is just the size of half a thumb.

Bhagavad Gita...भागवत गीता the doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna भगवान् कृष्ण in Mahabharata महाभारत corroborates this fact. This massive energy... the God भगवान् ... the size of half a thumb unable to contain itself for long explodes with a big bang and results in the creation of a new Cosmos.

All purified souls atmans आत्मा thus scatter all over the Cosmos. These scattering souls आत्मा while spreading out in the Cosmos at unbelievable speeds gather moss. These souls atmans आत्मा continue their journey of cosmic travel until they find a planet like Mother Earth suitable for the souls आत्मा to manifest a body.

This initial travel takes souls atmans billions of years before they manifest the first body. They have by then gathered impurities along the way. To come back to their pristine glorious form... these souls आत्मा have no other alternative but to manifest a chain of 8।4 million bodies altogether... a total journey of 96.4 million earthly years... a long journey indeed!

The sooner these souls atmans आत्मा manifest the first body... starts the cycle of karma कर्म It is only through कर्म a that these bodies can purify themselves and remove the dross from within. The journey starts with amoeba (single cell formation), then multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being.

Like the metal in the ore cannot separate itself... rather purify on its own...or butter / Ghee out of milk… similarly souls atmans require a body to work out their karma कर्म and purify themselves and regain the original form.

It is only when viewed from the senses point of view everything in the Cosmos appears to be solid in nature. Truthfully the whole Cosmos is made up of only atoms and molecules. There is no solid matter that ever exists in the Cosmos. God भगवान् and the world of souls atmans आत्मा is the only absolute truth and everything else being the game of Maya माया Veil of Ignorance as expressed by Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa in his commentary on Advaita Vedanta ।

Now we are clear about two things... God भगवान् a potent source of energy is the only absolute truth of the cosmos. He never interferes with the working of his creation. It is the manifest theory of karma कर्म that handles the travel of soul आत्मा from one life to another.

Here we must also understand that everything in the cosmic system has a duality. If we have God (at plus hundred)... we also have Satan शैतान (with power of minus hundred). We have day... we also have night. We have fire... we also have water. The essence being that the sum total of all in whole Cosmos at a given point of time must remain zero.

We have happiness... we also have sufferings। You must have observed that to craft a metal into shape we need to heat and beat it. Only then proper shape can be given to the metal. Similar is the case of we human beings nay all living beings for that matter.

Unless there are sufferings... the value of happiness cannot be recognized. It is only the sufferings which make us remove the dross within. It is only Tapasya तपश्या (deep prayers) offered to भगवान् God which pave the way for us to walk the spiritual path. More intense the prayers and the sufferings... higher realms of spirituality we experience.

Sufferings are a part of life. All is the result of a law which cannot err. How much shall we suffer or be lucky and win a lottery is fully dependent upon the residual karma which follows us every moment of our life. It is only the doctrine of karma which is finally governing. No single soul atman आत्मा can ever be affected by the doings of another soul atman.आत्मा This absolute statement issued by Lord Krishna भगवान् कृष्ण in Bhagavad Gita भागवत गीता is to be understood firmly.

If we find one on the streets without legs... it is amply clear that this particular gentleman misused his legs in one of his earlier manifestations. It was the grace of God that this man was born without legs in the present domain. As we sow so shall we reap... nothing more or less! Anyone born with deformities is not to be pitied... for one is suffering for the deeds of the past life. This crux of karma कर्म is to be understood clearly if we truly want to understand the role of sufferings in life

If you defile the body of another then it is most likely that in next manifestation our body would be defiled as per the dictates of God. We might be born a sex worker in next manifestation. The mother-in-law burning her daughter-in-law for sake of dowry would lead to the mother-in-law being born a sex worker in next life. She is not to be pitied then. She has to suffer for the atrocities carried out by her on her daughter-in-law in the earlier manifestation.

It is not all of a sudden that one wins a lottery or one is lucky. It is the accumulation of pious deeds done by one in earlier manifestations that fructified now. In the spiritual domain of things it is not necessary that whatever karma कर्म we are performing now will fructify immediately. It is possible that the fruits of karma कर्म be made available by God भगवान् in the present manifestation or four manifestations ahead from now.

God knows only Destruction! Why should Bhagvan Kalki भगवान् कालकी take an Avtar अवतार here to "remove" group of people physically from the surface of our Mother Earth? If it is only a physical death, then these people will continue to be present elsewhere. On other hand, if they are "liberated" it is good for them!!! That means really blessed souls are going to be removed by Bhagvan Kalki.भगवान् कालकी Whatever it is, only the survivors are going to suffer, even if it is going to be good life for them.

As a Universal Person, I love all the countries and all the people of Earth... as well as all my cosmic friends throughout the Universe. Is there any specific reason to love India alone? Unfortunately human beings are thinking of destruction always for ages, so that ..may be ...they hope... there will be a new beginning all together...so that we all can perform well. Any destruction is easier than construction! I wish, we all on Earth think in the positive direction. So that all these wars Etc. can be avoided.

O God, this is your world. You have all the rights to do whatever you want. You can change anything according to your will.

We have a desire to see God within this life ... there are millions out there in this world who have a desire to see God within this life. Is it really possible! One person in hundreds of years realizes God ... comes face-to-face with the God / Almighty / Bhagwan भगवान् / Creator. In the last above 150 years only two persons have Realized God ... Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Mahirshi Ramana.

Vivekananda who had a burning desire to see God also got lost in the journey of life and could not Realize God within his lifetime. He reduced himself to the level of a social worker. On the path of God Realization one loses everything ... even his family is lost on the way. Material possessions have no value for him. Yet, you want to serve your parents and also keep a desire to see God.

God भगवान् definition Hindu Bhagwan हिन्दू भगवान् / Devta dhrishta Onlooker: God भगवान् is but the whole mound itself. If a grain of sand is an individual आत्मा soul then the whole mound of sand is God भगवान् . Every individual आत्मा soul thus has the same powers exactly as God but limited in magnitude. This is the problem with the people in the West... they think that God belongs to them. Their God Jesus Christ is the best of all. God Agni अग्नि देवता occupies a very special place in Hinduism. The mere mention of Agni as Hindu god signifies the role Agni plays in Hindu rituals. God Agni in Hinduism stands for the means by which everything impure in the system can be wiped clean. Every human being can become a living God ... a man God like Buddha, Mahavira, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed. God भगवान् is always in Nirakaar निराकार form.
