Using ones thinking and contemplative power the temporarily situated atheist or the more open minded and philosophically astute ,can consider, that theoretically if there were a God , and He had expanded Himself to become the many , each particle of consciousness originally coming from His consciousness , this very well explains the material world and the goings on . This angle of thought is easily acceptable if one accepts regions beyond three dimensions and intelligences , energies , and inconceivable powers that are beyond our estimations . We could say a comparison can be made of microbial intelligence to that of Einstein . Can a comparison be drawn ? In the world of sciences , much is left to the imagination and speculations when it comes to scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis . When it comes to theological considerations , attention must be given to the obvious observations of free will and the principles of determinism . After all, if there were a God , why would God create downloads of Himself ? Robotic ” yes men “or ladies could never, in real terms, transmit love , love must always be voluntary , and its moods are unpredictable .We should know God relishes pure love . It must be logically acceptable to the philosophically minded that a percentage of Gods children were unsure of having a close and direct relationship with Him , and this material universe is evidence of that .The Vedas, throughout its pages, clearly indicate that evidence of free will and determinism is at play right before our eyes .
Welcome to the logically manifested material world where incomprehensible arrangements are made for unlimited ” freedoms of expression ” on a gigantic scale, where such facilities involve 8400000 species of life , within the multidimensional universe , each with an independent but dependent existence and a forgetfulness of God . However, they are totally absorbed in only one thing , and that is a multifaceted display of God’s energies , every activity done in the company of Gods other parts and parcels who chose an independence from the spiritual reality and instead chose the sureal existence of matter . Most are absorbed so deeply in this surreal material world, but some begin to puzzle about their existences and realise their entangled states . Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that initial understanding takes many, many lives to properly manifest . When Divinity puts on an illusory show, it’s 100% perfect , no one can escape unless set free .
With the Ai and algorithmic systems that follow us in remarkable ways beyond the comprehension of most , that we are currently encountering , what is the difficulty to understand this concept of imprisonments of minds and senses with bodies , everything designed and functional in a supremely perfected state .
There is a controlled systematic order with the physical laws , there is perfect math and perfect symmetry within nature , and there is coded information within the genome that builds perfectly constructed bodies . All these examples should bring to the attention of an inquirer that what is happening in the world appears ordered. There is nothing random whatsoever. One can never really understand God through academia alone . One can never really understand God through sentiments alone , but both processes can be helpful if a little faith and intelligence are properly directed towards devotion . The possibility of something much greater than ourselves , even if in the beginning, it’s just nature and recognition of God in nature .
Ultimately , by engaging in some devotion and recognition , further knowledge and realisations will come about , and trancendental feelings will arise and increase more and more , Krishna tells us this in the Bhagavad Gita.
Without knowledge, sentiments alone can hamper one’s advancement in devotion . Equally, knowledge without loving sentiments limits one’s relationship with God .
Thus , automatically , by engaging in services to God , trancendental sentiments increase as well as knowledge about His glorious activities , form , and pastimes within both the material and spiritual worlds .
The most advanced devotees have knowledge of God and pure trancendental loving sentiments towards Him . Of the two , pure loving trancendental sentiments wins out , and knowledge becomes secondary.
