Can You logically prove that the world is created for the entertainment of God?

[Shri Divakar Rao asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, In one of the discourse, You mentioned that "The Veda says that the world is created for the entertainment of God only", can You provide some profound logic to believe in this sentence Swami. Your Servant, Divakara Rao.]

Swami replied:- Veda said that God created this creation for entertainment because when He was alone, He was not entertained (Ekākī na ramate, Sa dvitīya maicchat, Sa idaṃ sarva masṛjata). This means—a single person alone can’t be entertained, God wanted a second item, God created all this world. The second item desired by God may mean this entire creation or a second soul loving God truly. In any case, several souls are required for the sake of the whole drama that is aimed at entertainment. Along with several souls, several inert items are also needed for the sake of the settings in the drama. Hence, God created this creation containing both inert items and non-inert souls so that He can identify the soul loving Him truly among all the souls by conducting tests etc.

Of course, God is in the climax happiness, which is called bliss of God (Brahmaananda) and which is highest in its value. But, this bliss is of one variety only, which is the bliss in monism. God wanted the other variety of the bliss, which is in dualism. Here, you must be careful to understand that God is not desiring for higher quantity of bliss since the bliss possessed by Him is already the highest. He is not desiring for a different situation in the angle of the quantitative aspect. He is only desiring for a different situation in the angle of a different qualitative aspect. The king in the palace is very happy and the same king when he goes to a forest for hunting is also very happy. There is no difference in the happiness possessed by the king in the palace and in the forest. He wanted just a different atmosphere, which is the second item since the first item is the palace. Such desire does not show any deficiency in the first item or any more greatness in the second item. Therefore, such a desire is not like our worldly desires in which we try something different to compensate our deficiency in the existing present situation. Hence, nobody can find fault with God or the king in this context. This is called as just a change for passing time.
