God is enjoying both happiness and misery May 01, 2012

Both happiness and misery give entertainment to God
If the soul can also enjoy happiness and misery like God, at least in the aspect of entertainment, the soul can become equal to God


God created this world and controls it. The soul can neither create nor control the world. God also destroys this world and the soul cannot do it. Therefore, the creation, ruling and destruction of the world can be done by God only and the soul is a total failure in these three aspects. The soul wants to become equal to God and such an ambition is called as Monism or Advaita. But, the soul is not equal to God in any aspect. God created this world for His entertainment. This world contains both happiness and misery. This means that God is enjoying both happiness and misery. Both happiness and misery give entertainment to God.

The Veda says that God created this world for His entertainment. If the soul can also enjoy happiness and misery like God, at least in the aspect of entertainment, the soul can become equal to God and Monism can be achieved at least in this one aspect of entertainment. But alas!, the soul fails even this aspect. The soul does not want misery and tension. The soul wants continuous happiness throughout the life. But, the poor soul does not know that anything continuous including happiness bores. Boring is also misery. Therefore, misery is inevitable. I do not understand, how the soul aspires for Advaita, when it fails even in the aspect of entertainment.

You can neither procure the food material nor cook the food. At least if you are equal to the person in eating the cooked food, you can be equal to him at least in the aspect of eating the food. The person cooked both sweet and hot dishes and is eating both the dishes with full joy and entertainment. You are eating only sweet dishes and refusing the hot dishes. How can you be equal to Him if you are not equal to Him at least in eating the food?
