What about God? Does they have a central being. I mean to say does God have a individuality ( here i don’t mean to say ego ).
At the top most level obviously Kali and Krishna are one. Not only Kali and Krishna, all is One. But when the God acts in the leela aspect. What happens to the individuality of Krishna and Kali.
Alok da , if possible i would love to have a direct answer because this question always lingers in my mind. I know i am not able to fully put my confusion into question.
The true individual in human beings is the psychic being supported from behind by the central being. This individuality and all individualities are distinctive aspects of the One Divine. They are distinct but not separate, in the sense of acting independent from each other. The hands, legs, brain, heart have different forms and serve distinctive functions but they are all part of the one and same body. As to the gods and goddesses they are different aspects of the One Divine but their forms are much more plastic because the earth element is much less and the ethereal element much more. It is the human mind that sees them as fixed form and the gods and goddesses often adapt their form to the image we carry in our mind. Their individuality (in fact all individuality) is not so much about the outer form as it is about the inner truth or the aspect of Truth it represents. Sri Krishna is Kali in her rapturous love. Kali is Sri Krishna in his dreadful mood as we see on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
