Creation & other queries
Question
Namaskaar Dhananjay,
Thank you very much for your kind reply to my previous query.
I had some more doubts relating to your previous answers I read.Kindly spare me for asking too much but I've been wanting to ask these queries for such a long time & I found you to be best person to guide me.
1.Why has the Almighty,in the first place,separated us from HIMSELF that we have to travel back to reclaim our lost glory by merging with HIM?
2.In the Kathopnishad it is written that-
Nityo nityanaam cetanas cetananam.(katha upnishad 2.2.13)
(As we all are individual living beings and have our individuality,the Supreme Absolute Truth,is also,in the ultimate issue,a person....the complete whole is not formless).
But in your previous answers you said that that HE is formless.Kindly throw some light on it.I'm confused.
3.In one of your answers you said that interaction between a boy & a girl before marriage is to be avoided.But what if the boy & girl want to know each other for the sake of compatibility,especially in arrange marriages.Also,based on your view,is the concept of love marriages completely baseless?
4.Also,I read in your answers that the Satya Loka is the highest.Where is Brahma loka in the order?Also,what about Goloka(abode of Lord Krishna),which is said to be the ultimate abode & situated in the spiritual world,separated from the material world?
5.In today's times,how can a brahmachari who himself being virgin till marriage find a virgin wife?Is this expectation realistic?
6.Does sperm donation,being the process of helping a childless couple,also be considered a break in brahamacharya?
7.I read in one of your answers that if a movie actor is strictly professional & does not involve himself with the opposite sex,he's just doing his duty towards god.But what if a person works in adult entertainment business?Obviously he/she heavily loses of his vital energy.But it is also his profession.What are your views regarding this?
Thank you very much for your precious time.
Answer
1. As per scriptures, the deluded Jiva is timeless and has always existed. It overcomes this delusion upon self-realization. Just as God is timeless, the Jiva has also been this way, independent of time. This is the Lords Leela (divine play). There is no why.
2. HE is both formless and with form (when HE assumes it). In HIS true, unmanifest state HE is always formless (as in the state before creation). Form represents the physical, subtle and causal manifestations within which also HE exists. Since all matter and manifestation is the result of the Lords will, HE pervades all these as pure consciousness. This is the meaning of saying HE takes form. In reality, HE is always formless, else how could HE be within different objects as consciousness?
3. Such interaction, if carried out, should lead to marriage at the earliest. If not, it will end in sorrow and unwanted karma. It is marriage and the responsibility with which one handles it which matters. Arranged or not arranged is immaterial.
4. Brahma Loka & Goloka are the same as Satya Loka.
5. That woman, who is destined to be ones wife alone comes as the wife, whether one likes it or doesnt.
6. Yes.
7. When ones profession (which comes inevitably, despite all efforts against it) is carried out as ones God given duty surrendering all actions to God, there is no sin. If such a God given occupation goes against Brahmacharya, and if the aspirant performs his duty solely as a service to God, he eventually gets relieved of such harmful professions by the grace of the Lord and attains better placement, following which better conditions prevail.
