Tamas is required for passing the test of God in human form.

[dattaswami]

Tamas (Rigidity) is required for passing the test of God in human form.

 

 

Dharmaraja went upto the third upper world, - Arjuna reborn as hunter,

But Bhima was reborn as Madhva, - a liberated soul in mission of God.

Only Bhima got salvation like Hanuman, - the reason for this is deep.

Bhima is a dullard, none expects this, - Bhima is full of ignorance, Tamas.

Ignorance is finally required, - once the selection of God is over.

Krishna was selected as God – by all Pandavas, discrimination with

Shrewd analysis of deep knowledge – is required before selection.

 

Rajas or action or service follows - as practical devotion, second step.

All Pandavas served Krishna as God – by participating in the war.

But when the practical test comes – from the God finally, blind faith

Or ignorance of other alternative or – Tamas is required to pass test.

In fact even determination to start service – requires also Tamas and

Subsequently when practical devotion – is opposed by your family,

Strong decision or Tamas is required, - In fact small tests start

Even before the major test of God, - They are initial training.

For the major test of God, - climax of tamas is required to pass.

Hence tamas or Shiva is final – stage to attain the eternal fruit.
