Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Note : Muslims whilst glorifying GOD IS GREAT! GOD IS GREAT! GOD IS GREAT! need to understand HOW GREAT IS GOD Allah means God and Akber means Great so this conveys an IDEA of God . But this is as far as it goes. It needs to be ACTUALLY understood HOW GREAT IS GOD. The following is just a glimpse from : Teachings of Lord Caitanya Introduction >From His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. As stated before, the material universes are manifested by the Lord in the form of Maha-Visnu. Just as a husband and wife combine to beget offspring, the Maha-Visnu combines with His wife Maya, or material nature. This is also confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita where Krsna states: sarva-yonisu kaunteya murtayah sambhavanti yah tasam brahma mahad yonir aham bija-pradah pita "It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father." (Bg. 14.4) Visnu impregnated Maya or material nature simply by glancing at her. This is the spiritual method. Materially we are limited to impregnate by only one particular part of our body, but the Supreme Lord, Krsna or Maha-Visnu, can impregnate any part by any part. Simply by glancing the Lord can conceive countless living entities in the womb of material nature. The Brahma-samhita also confirms that the spiritual body of the Supreme Lord is so powerful that any part of that body can perform the functions of any other part. We can only touch with our hands or skin, but Krsna can touch just by glancing. We can only see with our eyes, we cannot touch or smell with them. Krsna, however, can smell and also eat with His eyes. When foodstuffs are offered to Krsna we don't see Him eating, but He eats simply by glancing at the food. We cannot imagine how things work in the spiritual world where everything is spiritual. It is not that Krsna does not eat or that we imagine that He eats; He actually eats, but His eating is different from ours. Our eating process will be similar to His when we are completely on the spiritual platform. On that platform every part of the body can act on behalf of any other part. The following book list will help those who want study further from His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
