WHY THIS MAYA CREATION ???
Picture Of Earth
In last THIRTY YEARS of my STUDY & SADANA ,
above question was haunting me for an answer.I could not
find a satisfactory answer in SAINTS SAYINGS or
UPANISHATHS(part of vedas)
We know that ATHMA(SOUL) is GOD,then why this
ATHMA should take bodies of creatures,fishes,animals &
human beings?Why this MAYA creation of galaxies,stars,
sun,planets & satellites like moon?A jnani by his wisdom
will say all the above creation is NOT REAL(ASATHYA)
like dream and ATHMA alone is REAL(SATHYA)
Crores of jivas(who think they are the bodies and who have
karmas-papa,punya pending) have to suffer crores of births
till they become jnanies,that too with ATHMA inside their
bodies, why ?
One really great teacher told me that it is written in
VEDAS that CREATION should not be questioned(Srishtiyannu
prshnisabaradu).Another more common answer received was
that it is GOD's LEELA(play).HE(ATHMA) alone takes different
forms and names in crores ,by his SUPREME POWER of
CREATION BY THOUGHT(MAYA) & plays LEELA!! With whom
we are comparing ourselves,feeling jealousy,who is rich,poor,
handsome,ugly,saint,thief,rowdy and terrorist ??Every thing is
MAYA !!
For such a complicated question,is the answer
satisfactory ?

Fifth sloka of MAYA PANCHAKAM of
ReplyDeleteSHANKARACHARYA says --
5. Alas! Maya, which is adept at making the
impossible happen, creates in Brahman which
is homogeneous, without any parts, distinctions
such as Brahma, Vishnu and Siva and thereby
perplexes even the learned by making them
look upon Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva as
different from one another.
Above indicates GOD is ONE,which you call
by different names.
Please note what is told in Puranas cannot be
applied to pure spirituality.Purana stories does
not pass the test of spirituality tenets.
While commenting usage of egoistic tone is
better avoided as, such language does not
bring credit to you, sir ! We should not have
ego of spiritual knowledge also !
In the posting, we have already given two
answers to the question.
You have given the answer as ' इच्छा ',
ReplyDeletePlease note we have used the word
'Leela'.Leela(play) is performed after
इच्छा(wish),is it not.So if you analyse
how your answer is different ?
