Pankaja_Dasa Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 There is a pastime wherein Lord Krishna has a kind of a Court House that's small from the outside but big on the inside! How is that possible...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I once emailed Bishnu Maharaja who is a disciple of Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaja. I asked - What is beyond the Spiritual World?, Can Lord Krishna Create and make it larger? The answer I recieved was, If Krishna wants He can make it bigger..

Beggar Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The answer I got was that if Krishna wants He can make it bigger. Why not smaller? Small is beautiful. Get small! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pankaja_Dasa Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 In Bhagavad-gita Krishna says He is the smallest of the small (paramatma) and largest of the large (material creation).. And Krishna says He is time, and the creator. So according to Gita Krishna can create space and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I always tell my friends to "get small". Even my dog understood it. (passed away 10 days ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivaduta Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 There is a pastime wherein Lord Krishna has a kind of a Court House that's small from the outside but big on the inside! How is that possible...? Small and large are mere concepts as perceived by the human mind... (to some a large house would be 4 bedrooms. to a king a 50 bedroom house may be small... to a begger a 2 room house may seem a palace...) any concept of the mind is influenced by maya so it is possible to have something small on the outside and large within... about the concepts of "infinity and zero" both are concepts which are creations of the mind... and what doesnt exist can be deemed similar... in a way zero is nothing and infinity doesnt exist in reality...

Kulapavana Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 if you look at the wall in your room and think that there is nothing beyond it, you are surprised when all of a sudden you look through a hole in the wall and see a city on the other side. in the same way we look at our space and only see 3 dimensions, but if a hole is made in these dimensions all of a sudden the stuff on the other side looks much bigger. our mind is closed in the walls of these 3 dimensions and has hard time conceiving that there is anything beyond them.
