Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Hi, Desire is a form of energy which drives us forward. God has been seen as a timeless, all pervading, omnipotent spiritual being who has always existed. This ether like being is called Parabrahman. It is said that in him arose the energy (desire) from which the entire world has come into existence. This is not very different from the Big bang theory in cosmology, where it is postulated that great amounts of energy came into existence for unknown reasons, which converted itself, within milliseconds, into quarks and other elementary particles from which all matter arose. Since the entire universe has come from one source, it stands to reason that both good and evil came from the same source. Good and evil are relative terms. That which is farther away from the centre (divinity) is seen as evil and that which is relatively nearer is seen as good. I do not know why we have been created. As it is said in the Rig Veda, ' maybe the one in the highest heaven knows, or maybe he also knows not'. There are however, some theories that can be pondered over. It is believed that souls were thrown far away from the divine centre ( making them less divine and thereby more evil), and are required to slowly evolve towards the divine centre over several births slowly giving up the negative energy and growing in divine, positive energy(qualities). This is largely seen as an eternal play or leela, which has no end. Thanks & regards. Sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
