The World As Divine Playground

The World As Divine Playground

The world is the Vrindavan Leela or divine playground of the Supreme. Nothing is to be shunned, for you are all the while in It (Mahanam). That you have forgotten this is the root cause of your misery. The world is real. We have come here to taste the blissful rapture of His Manifestation. By doing our duties which come from His will, we relish His love and bliss.

Brahmn is manifestation and Brahmnmayi is part of it; Creation began with them. Why not accept the saying, ``God in His Supreme playfulness, by mere resolve, has been inclined to create the worlds and they were created forthwith.'' The world is not non-existent, for only on this earth human beings can savour Divinity . That being so, how can the world be illusory? Whatever you may call it, Maya or Yogamaya, it also has an Existence. It also is a manifestation of Supreme Energy .

But the strength to make progress on the path of emancipation, realisation and salvation out of the hold of this Maya, is also given by Him. The spiritual world is a reality and not a figment of imagination.

Substance is One. You talk about materialism and spiritualism. Try to change your vision.

Then everything will be clear. Just imagine the origin of this universe, dive deep into the fundamental. This universe as we find it today is the result of a long process of steady evolution. You proceed from the general to the particular. Realise that Absolute Truth. There is a stage even before sound. But ultimately , the general and the particular become identical.

There are so many worlds...same thing. All temporary , everything is temporary . All worlds are mutually exclusive. How can one go from one to another? All worlds are interrelated. So, if there be unrest on earth, that will invade regions like the heavens also.

The world is an organic whole. The solar system can be penetrated in a moment's thought. Science is able to create space vehicles and go to the moon. It can also go to other planets. There is nothing new in this. It is Mahajnana (Supreme Knowledge) that flows along, encircling the countless worlds.

Manifestation of God is the universe. The world is an escapable reality . Space and time each have infinite dimensions. Every segment of space is present in every other segment.
Every split second also is present in every other second. So, space and time are both ubiquitous. In fact, time is a ceaseless duration and space an unfettered expanse.

Matter is One. Indistinguishable, it wears different looks on different occasions. There is no dichotomy of matter and spirit. They are one Integer; that is the sole reality. The new year of the calendar is a human creation.

In mind is the space-time complex, but He is beyond time and space. The mind gets fullness of right vision or enlightenment when, while being in this body , it becomes conscious of Him. Then, that moment is mind's New Year, a new birth of light.

In that state, one loses the boastful I-sense in one's activities and even if the senses and desires drive the mind, the bridle is held by the Lord Himself, or the Nam, so that one cannot . go astray . But nobody feels grateful that He, . All-merciful, continuously showers His Grace on beings.

The one who can fully relish and utilise the present, without worrying about present, past and future, he really enjoys the state of Vraja, His Love.
