dattaswami Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 Abode of God or Brahma loka is the place where God lives Abode of God called, as Brahma loka or – Vaikuntha or Kailasa is not A particular place existing some where, - it is the place where God lives, God can live in any place as He likes, - He does not exist everywhere. His power exists everywhere, - you can say indirectly that God is Existing everywhere, if He is – everywhere like gold in the chain, Veda cannot say that God entered – the world after creating it. God exists in this world in human form – in every human generation Giving equal chance to every generation, - a human being charged by God Becomes God like live wire, - similarly in the second upper world, sky, Which is called as Bhuvarloka or Dyuloka or – Jyotirloka, abode of stars, God exists charging energetic body – of sun called as Surya Narayana. If you take isolated medium only, - the sun, he is only servant of God. Similarly, in human incarnation, - if you isolate the human being, He is just a liberated soul selected – by God to become human incarnation. Veda says that two birds live on tree, - one is God and other is the soul Selected by God, simile can be – applied even to ordinary human being. One is soul and other is intellect, -In both cases tree is inert gross body. Yoga Vasishtha explains monism, - remember, it is told to Rama, who is The human incarnation already, - the subject is limited to incarnation only. Vasishtha is also human incarnation, - He is Brahma in human form here. Monism applies to speaker also, - If you extend it to every body, Then the speaker is only a sage, - the medium or the liberated soul. Gita told to Arjuna refers to God – present in Krishna, a liberated soul. But same Krishna as medium or – the liberated soul told Gita again. In the first Gita, monism is limited to – Krishna only and not to everybody. The second chapter explains about – soul to be isolated from gross body. Quote
