Home » World As It Is » I did not say that the soul has created ignorance. My submission was – The world is created only when the soul chooses to cover itself with ignorance. If she does this then can’t we assume that she wants to enjoy the world, its joy & pain, strength & weakness, evil & goodness? The soul being omnipotent, cannot be forced to cover itself with ignorance and falsehood unless it wishes to do so. Thus what should be her purpose other than this?

The ignorance is a creation of the Divine Maya, which operates in two ways, vidyamayi or a force of knowledge and oneness, and avidyamayi, a force of ignorance. The soul is a portion of the Divine that has accepted to enter the fields of ignorance so that it can grow from its seed state to a fully developed divine being. Pleasure and pain are incidents and processes for this initial first phase of its development. Once fully developed then it experiences not earthly joys which is a very diminished and distorted mixture but Divine Bliss. The soul instinctively knows it and hence is not only seeking this but is unhappy when our ego self is enjoying the mud and mire of earth and satisfied with it.

How does one know it? Well if we find the soul and even grow a little into its consciousness we shall know and not before that.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

If one were to summarise it in one sentence then one can say, in the deepest mystic sense, that the world has forgotten the Divine and suffers because of that. Instead, the average human being has not only turned away…

Thank you so much for your beautiful and profound response explaining the difference between liberation (Mukti) and higher spiritual states. Your spiritual insight is truly wonderful.

It will depend upon the mantra as well as the wish, desire or aspiration, as it may be, in the heart of the sadhak. There are mantras that do grant material happiness as well as wisdom. So it is perfectly possible to get these benefits through specific mantras. At the …

Respected Alok da, when you realised Maa is everything and in everything. Then, if you go for Puja Rituals like Brata-Upabasha according to Hindu Dharma (you see Mother in every Gods), then is that insincerity to Maa? Should I do it or not? 🙄🙏🏻👨🏻‍👩🏻‍👧🏻‍👦🏻🛕🌸

As far as I am concerned everything else dropped naturally, effortlessly. I was anyways not much into rituals and knew that many of these things are aadambar and have little to do with Hindu Dharma. Neither the Gita nor the…
