The Vedic philosophical goal is to get the individual to express individuality not independently, but in conformity with the Divine individual who is most expert at harmonising all individual expressions of bliss & love , thus the truth of simultaneously one and different is born . Srila Jiva Goswami says in His Tattva Sandarbha , God has made the impossible possible by expanding Himself and allowing these expansions individuality and free will .
This individual spirit is a special benediction, especially when the tiny individual comes in touch and is able to share in the consciousness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
In modern politics, neo liberalism is becoming popular, but voluntary services to other individuals or camps or communities are far superior and rewarding experiences.
Actually, the whole material universe with the 8,400,000 different species of life is designed for those wishing to express their individuality outside of Divinity , the karmic synchronicity is in motion and one can endlessly wonder in a variety of bodies with vanity , that is a supreme individuals right that has been granted by Divinity , as much as the founding fathers of USA grants rights and freedoms. Although, of course, in USA ‘ s case , its a sham .
The Darwinions miss the no guessing bit in their scientific theory analysis. Anyhow, this world is a place where we can convince ourselves of absolutely anything . Even when presented with hard facts , some still find it difficult to make the logical choice or accept them .
When smoke appears in the distance , an argumentative person may wish to convince themselves that no fire is present. Free will often means live temporarily in a subjective cocoon , these are all the arrangements of the illusory energies of Divinity . It’s a very, very strong force . But one day , by some good fortune arising.. One one can burst out and experience a super subjective reality and objectively see the material world for what it is , a place of ever changing and fleeting moments as inevitable time moves on . Our consciousness within is being subjected to experiences imperceptibly caused by a series of events long forgotten , such karmic synchronicity is caused by ourselves , and Divinity, being the cause of all causes, is engineering all facilities and subtle impressions.
Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita gives the most thorough analysis of the truth of our situation , Where the complexities of karmic synchronicity are played out in the relative world of duality , love ,hate like , dislike etc , everyone is forced by nature to live temporarily in a subjective cocoon , and practically speaking that can be for millions of lives , or even eternally, it’s up to our choices, choices handed to us by Divinity, because Divinity is understanding and knowing we desire them .
The origins of the compatibility, attraction , joy , and mixed emotions of male and female companies originates in Divinity. He is always accompanied by the original Goddess of Fortune or one of Her expansions. The Vedas indicate. God was one and became two , Radha Krishna, then the original one. Krishna expanded and became many , the origins of all the living beings.
It is also said in the Vedas that the conjugal loving affairs between Divinity and His Lovers are of two kinds , technically called Svakiya and Parakiya, one type of lover is , like a youthful secret love. the other more formal like a marriage, there are aspects described in the tenth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam of these affairs and it’s fully elaborated upon by those various devotees, in other writing, they who have entered into service of the romantic servitors of Krishna , for instance in Rupa Goswami’s writing he says Divinity is analysed by experts in Parakiya Rasa , that He takes on 96 different mellows., or loving exchanges , in His personality when engaging in loving affairs .
An all-important aspect to consider is that one should never make the mistake of thinking , krishna has a mundane material body like a conditioned soul , neither His lovers. They all have , ever new, ever enthusiastic and increasing attractions , which know no end. an eternal youthful attraction , in spiritual forms, not made of atoms or elements. A comparison between top quality cut diamonds and cut glass can never be applied. Looks similar, but quality and worth are incomparable.
Those who are naturally attracted to the fascinating experiences of romantic and romantic affairs should drop the cut glass and pick up diamonds
The Vedas indicate the total universe is currently approx .155 trillion years old , according to the calculations of time , parts of our universe are temporarily devastated , only to be rebooted after a 4.5 billion rest period , before another another 5 billion year period begins
Once again Sound carrying information into the ethereal plane , devolves fire in the form of the electrical charges within atoms, which in turn form the make up of the elements and compounds, making up the molecular structures, when consciousness enters , which forms the varieties of bodies tailor made to suit , where they may have previously left off .
Initially, after the reconstituted planets begin again to form , water is predominantly present. Thus, aquatics have facilities. This is somewhat demonstrated in the fossil records and illudes to the early Cambrian explosion , gradually land appears as some of the water begins to dissipate , giving way to trees , plants , insects, and the multitude of creatures, and finally mankind , all of this reconstituted from the previously experienced conditions at the time of the previous partial destruction some 4.5 billion years previously.
Before this current complete multidimensional universe existed, which will last 311 trillion years , the universes existed countless of trillions of years beforehand, and they will also be in existence countless millions of years to come, and the 8,400,000 species scattered throughout the multitudes of multidimensional universal planes come and go , come and go for eternal time , these bodies suitable machines consisting of mater ,mind intelligent and within is the deeper original consciousness that is experiencing, its desire and deserves.
Each conscious particle is like a universe in itself, and it’s all borrowed energies , stemming ultimately from the supreme consciousness.
The supreme consciousness lies in one part of the entire existence of spiritual and material realms and through His ” material ” “dream ” gives facilities for the night time and day time dreaming of the living beings, who are awarded temporary body ,minds and intelligence , on loan from the supreme consciousness , original speciation took place countless of trillions of years ago , but is cyclic.
Vedas indicate. What you need to know you’ll know. What you deserve to know you’ll know . What you don’t need to know you’ll not know. What you don’t deserve to know you’ll not know .
The Vaisnavas are very simple hearted, open people who don’t hoard knowledge, rather they are an open book , the demons are very secretive , they engage in tantrics , directly or indirectly, or seek astrological energies and sacrifices to the Demigods as they desperately try to build their energies and influence , using any methods to hand , all of it self centred.
A decending process to access the highest pure spiritual planes is at play based on something way beyond academics or any manipulation of tantric energies or astrological calculations or karma .
Generally, in the material world, it’s thought knowledge is entirely an ascending process, and to some degree that can be accepted , by study and hard work one can aquire an understanding of a topic but to really understand something ,in its depths something else is also at play .
Richard Feynman mentions these points , a PHD can be a complete fool , and in reality , epistemological calculations are another factor.
How do you know you know ,? how do you know you know you know ?
In the vedas, it’s described there can be knowledge and realized knowledge. it’s termed jnana and vijnana .
Ultimately, in all events, depending on an individual , what their desires are , and how they conduct their lives and who they associate with will determine the knowledge they aquire .
Human life is meant for sacrifice and cultivating knowledge of Divinity, and opening our secretive self calculating hearts to Him and His pure representatives , that alone will further our consciousness .
The self evident truth that all beings are spiritually equal but are placed in different bodies can be realized ,at beginning stages , as well as later , understanding Divinities localized aspect can begin to be perceived , and then further, His original form , or His expansions can be approached.
The Vedic truth of “once one thing is known everything is known ” is to be understood , how can that be how is this to be understood.
So don’t hoard knowledge in a secret way or take some of God’s universal energy for selfish reasons, open and share everything.
Unless one follows the regulative principles of freedom given by traditions and deep philosophically led cultures, so-called freedom is like the freedom of sophisticated animals ,who discard any sense of morals ethics and who want to live a life simply following the demands of their bodies , like eating ,sleeping , sexual demands ,and defending territories that they consider theirs .
Theological texts give the regulative principles of freedom, a therapeutic system that regulates the body and mind and which automatically brings one’s deeper inner consciousness to the forefront.
Such deeper consciousness is where hankering and lamenting come to an end ,such consciousness brings one to see the true equality in all beings ,and the demands of the gross body , the lower self , diminish . This is Vedic life and life based on true satisfaction and peace in oneself and with others , the high fleeting ideals of adversaries and economic expansion at any cost , drives us into the external world of animal consciousness.
Finding and tracing out our original pure consciousness brings real freedom and is expressed in newer and newer ways, and eventually, the freedom of Divinity and His associates are understood in full .
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation & experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not Darwinian”guesses” but reliable accounts of the real world.
The problem with the current scientific world ,including educational systems , is they are forever presenting to students, the media, and the wider world that their citations and subjective opinions based on objective observations are practically ” done and dusted ” and fact based and indisputably true , that’s the impression they give , although behind closed doors , they know of the flaws and massive gaps in their thinking .
Most people take them as honest, but it’s actually cheating to present something as something it’s actually not , namely indisputable.
When we witness sophisticated design and signs of obvious math in just about everything in nature , in our own experience of a technological world , we would assume codes, information and organised perfect math , originates from mind and consciousness , a person. The flaws of the Darwinian evolution hypothesis have been nicely explained by Dr Jonathan Wells , in his book The Ikons of evolution. NYAYA logic says when we see smoke , there is fire , simple thing really
The demand for eating ,sleeping , sex, and defending oneself in summary is called material life in the Vedic theological system . Each of the above has its place, but they must add value. The power to overcome excessive demands of the body and mind or restrict them appropriately according to ones station in life is called cultivating spiritual life and turning to an unlimited super subjective realm is the Param Gatim , the final and absolute goal of all beings . CONSERVE VALUES , BRINGS VALUES is very much the Vedic life , indeed, it’s the life recommended by all bone fide theological texts .
Why ,? ask any addiction therapy expert , or even a neuroscientist, the more we become loose in our morals ethics and value systems, the more the brain is wired to become more and more addictive in its neurological workings .Krishna explains in Bhagavad Gita about the responsive universe and how it can be wired to add complexity or diminish complexity and bring pure simplicity.
More on this topic soon .
Mind is best friends or worst enemy .
Bhagavad Gita delineation of several yoga systems is very helpful. According to ones station in life, one can adopt a suitable system .
The inner self satisfaction and the acceptance of the workings and limitation of a materially conditioned body are spoken about in detail ,there is always always a progression in our lives and a positive way forward, Divinity never leaves anyone on a helpless situation.
The Blessed Lord said: Fearlessness, purification of one’s existence, cultivation of spiritual knowledge, charity, self-control, performance of sacrifice, study of the Vedas, austerity and simplicity; nonviolence, truthfulness, freedom from anger; renunciation, tranquility, aversion to faultfinding, compassion and freedom from covetousness; gentleness, modesty and steady determination; vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor-these transcendental qualities, O son of Bharata, belong to godly men endowed with divine nature.
The transcendental qualities are conducive to liberation, whereas the demonic qualities make for bondage. Do not worry, O son of Pandu, for you are born with the divine qualities.
O son of Prtha, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demonic. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.
They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.
Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.
The demoniac, taking shelter of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige, and being thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.
They believe that to gratify the senses unto the end of life is the prime necessity of human civilization. Thus there is no end to their anxiety. Being bound by hundreds and thousands of desires, by lust and anger, they secure money by illegal means for sense gratification.
The demoniac person thinks: So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him; and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the lord of everything, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice. In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance.
Free will simply put is….do you want to love and appreciate Divinity and His associates and become intimately united in His affairs giving your life to love ? Love can be either mixed with various degrees of awe and reverence or it can be completely spontaneous with no formalities.
Or do you want to deny Divinity and His spontaneous love for you , and live independently of Him , and somewhat selfishly to one degree or another.
The residents of Vrndavana featured in the tenth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam , and particularly the Gopies and Srimati Radharani, demonstrate an absolute platform of spontaneous love .
Elsewhere in the Bhagavatam, the residents of Dwarka demonstrate love mixed with awe and reverence.
Srila Rupa Gosvami has written on topics of love very elaborately, and to understand love and free will, one should read his works .
