What is the protection for an honest, sincere and truthful man who plays by the rules ? He could get killed/shot/robbed any day ? God has no role to play in this material world since infinite goodness has no consciousness of this erroneous world ? Namaste,IMO, That is not really what Ajata Vada means. It means it never happened at all. However this is only realised on Moksha or Liberation. Eddy's infinite would be something similar to a Sakti/Saguna form of God, yet still a form and ultimately unreal, according to Ajata. This whole dream is run on action reaction or the fuel of karma. Karma is a memory of our own, in which we balance the books so to speak. In actuality the act and the reaction or karma and prarabda karma have happened at the same time. In Ajata there is no 'Personal God', other than karma running the creation. Nirguna Brahman is the only truth and that is above all ideas of creation, and as it says in the Rig Veda Creation Hymn.......perhaps he doesn't 'know'....ONS..Tony.
