Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Ramachurn, Let me try to explain, and I request other readers to correct me if I am wrong, The desire is not the right word. God is self sufficient or God does not need anything, He has everything or he is everything. He is " swathantra " (independent). So there is no point of saying God out of desire he created. In Ch U. it says, " That (Existence) saw, " I shall become many. I shall be born. " If this is not desire than what is it? The best conclusion is to say, it is the nature of God, creation, sustenence and destruction are his nature. He does not have any desire, desire is only for those who lack something, when you have everything where is desire and what for, and God is everything. In God's view I think there is no good and evil, and it is only in our eyes we see good & evil. B'cos we have not yet understood the nature of God. Ones we understand the nature of God, there is no good and evil. We will be much higher than these two. This is what Sri Ramakrishna and many other great souls had experienced. sarvam vasudevamayam jagath Prashanth Message: 4 Sat, 21 Apr 2001 18:44:00 +0100 " Vivekananda Centre " <vivekananda Interesting questions.....
