[Fourth Part of Dr. Nikhil’s questions] More clarification about 1) the classification of inertia and awareness and 2) the concept of freedom given by God to human beings is projected here in detail.
Classification of Inert Items and Items Having Awareness
Both inertia and awareness are the two sides of the same coin of energy, which is created by God in the beginning. Inertia is inherent nature of the energy and hence the energy is called as inert energy. Awareness is a specific work function of this inert energy and is given separate place due to its special specific status. The computer system working in a robot can be called as almost awareness. The movement of the limbs of robot with the help of inert electrical energy is an example of inert items. The computer chip giving signals in the robot controlling the movements of the limbs of robot can be called as almost awareness, which acts as the controlling system. The statue of robot including the limbs moving with the help of inert energy is called as controlled system. The controlled system (body) of robot without the controlling system is as good as a grinding machine working with the help of inert electrical energy. Such a machine is purely controlled system and controller like the external operator (controlling system) is required here. All the controlled systems without inbuilt controlling systems requiring the external controlling system (operator) stand for category of inert items. The controlling system like the computer working on the fed programs stands for the isolated awareness and the items of awareness result when this controlling system is associated (inbuilt) with a controlled system. High technology is involved in the controlled system. Higher technology is involved when a controlled system is associated with a controlling system. The classification of machines like grinding machine, cutting machine etc., stand for the category of inert items involving high technology. Same inert item due to association of an extra controlled system like computer chip becomes a robot representing almost the human being. Thus, the classification of inertia and awareness is within the imaginable phase or creation only. The fundamental component of this creation is inert energy and since awareness is only a specific work function of the same inert energy, this classification is within the boundaries of the inert energy only. This classification is not the classification of awareness as creator and inertia as creation. The reason is that the inertia and awareness are imaginable items and the second classification involves the unimaginable creator and the imaginable creation. This classification of inertia and awareness is clearly justified because the inertia stands for only controlled system and the awareness stands for a combined unit of controlled system and controlling system.
Freedom Given By God To Human Beings
We have told that a robot is almost awareness or almost a human being. The robot is not a 100% human being because the robot could not be given the freedom by the scientist. In the case of human being, God has given the freedom as a third extra system apart from controlling and controlled systems. The human being is joint unit of three items representing the highest technology. Thus, God is superior to the scientist. A computer system has no freedom since it is based on the fed program supplied by the external scientist. The scientist is a human being composed of three items and the robot manufactured by him is composed of two items only. The robot has to work based on a fixed program only and has no freedom to change the program. If the program of the computer system (independently or in a robot) is changed, such change is done by the external human being (scientist) due to his extra third component called as freedom given by God. The computer itself cannot change its own program due to absence of this freedom.
Q) You yourself have established that the awareness in human being is associated with the extra freedom. In such case the human being alone is an item with awareness where as the robot without such freedom is also thrown into the category of inertia only. The basis of classification of inertia and awareness is not mere number of the systems (like inertia is single controlled system and awareness is a joint unit of two systems called controlling and controlled items) but, the non-existence and existence of freedom. In one way, your basis of the classification is also not contradicted because we say that the inertia represents one or two systems where as the awareness represents three systems.
Reply of Shri Swami: We agree with your view. The classification of inertia and awareness as one system and joint unit of two systems is only the approximate classification. The freedom is always associated with the controlling system and not the controlled system. If the controlling system is absent, the controlled system cannot have the freedom at all. Hence, the basis of freedom is the controlling system. The approximate classification becomes accurate classification when we classify the high and higher technologies as one unit and the highest technology as the other unit. A more justified classification will be that the controlled system is perfect inertia, the controlling system is intermediate and the freedom is final perfect awareness. But, remember that the freedom cannot exist independently and is always associated with the controlling system. Moreover, you must note that in absence of this freedom, the controlling system in robot is exactly similar to the controlling system in the human being. In robot, one microprocessor may be working and in human being several microprocessors work simultaneously. This difference makes the robot to recognize an item step wise, whereas the human being recognizes the item in single initial step. When the explanation for this difference was discovered, the robot and the human being stand as one entity. Except this freedom, there is no other difference between robot and human being.
This classification of two items as one unit and three items as another unit is similar to the classification of Purusha and Prakruti. If Purusha represents soul and Prakruti represents body, the Lord is the third Purushotamma (three items). If the Purusha represents the Lord, the Prakruti is sub-divided into soul (Paraprakruti) and body (Aparaprakruti) and this classification involves two items only. Similarly, if you make controlled and controlling systems as one unit called as inertia and the freedom (always associated with controlling system) as the second unit called as awareness, it is a classification of two items. If you separate controlled, controlling and freedom (freedom imagined as single isolated system) systems separately, it is a classification of three items.
Q) Our ultimate goal is not confined to this way of classifications. Our ultimate goal is to isolate the awareness having full freedom from this creation and to establish it as the creator.
Reply of Shri Swami: You cannot achieve your goal because 1) The awareness of God having full freedom is totally different from the human awareness having a very little freedom. The awareness of God present in the human incarnation can control any internal system of Its body as well as any other human body. The awareness present in any human being can have very little freedom only to move its external limbs but cannot control the internal system of its own body. 2) The awareness of God present in several human incarnations shows uniform homogenous behaviour, which always supports the justice and opposes the injustice. In the case of the awareness existing in various human beings, it shows different behaviours like supporting justice or injustice and opposing injustice or justice. The different behaviours of awareness in different human beings is not homogenous and uniform. The different behaviours lead to multiplicity of God. Based on these two reasons, your goal of analysis cannot touch the unimaginable God in any way since you have to roam within the boundaries of imaginable creation only. Even if you say that the awareness in the human beings will achieve full freedom in course of time of evolution, the second reason given above always obstructs your goal. Even if you say that the scientists will be able to provide this little freedom existing in human beings to the robot in future and will prove that the donor of the freedom is not God, such possibility also does not establish that the human awareness is God’s awareness due to the above mentioned strong second reason. As long as you do not achieve this goal, your feats within the boundaries of this imaginable phase do not disturb us at all. We do not bother about this little freedom existing in the human beings is given by God or achieved in the process of evolution. However, we sincerely feel that every process in this creation is based on the divine will of God only. The variation in the behaviour of awareness in the human beings is an observed fact in this world and cannot be contradicted by any theoretical logic coming from your brain.
The awareness can be categorized in the following ways, which may belong to God or human being:
1) The unimaginable awareness of God having unimaginable background: Before this creation, God was also thinking since we learn from the Veda that God became bored before this creation. The concept of boring involves awareness, which is the process of thinking. This awareness is certainly not the work function of inert energy since the inert energy itself was not at all generated in that stage. This awareness becomes totally unimaginable by nature due to absence of the inert energy and its work. Hence, the process of thinking (background) as well as thought (nature) are unimaginable. The unimaginable God thinks due to His unimaginable power. In the absence of nervous system, the work of the inert energy in the specific system should not exist. But, it exists and hence the background of this awareness is also unimaginable.
2) Imaginable awareness with unimaginable background: God wished to create this world. In the case of God, the wish itself is materialization. This means that this first wish itself is the work function of inert energy. This means that the inert energy is created since without inert energy the work function cannot exist. Thus, the wish itself is the inert energy in the form of specific work. But, in the absence of the pre-existing nervous system, the specific nature of work cannot be achieved. Hence, the awareness is imaginable but its background is unimaginable.
3) Imaginable awareness with imaginable background: In the process of evolution after creation of the five fundamental elements, the life, mind and intelligence were evolved gradually. This awareness and its background are totally imaginable because the awareness is the specific work of already created inert energy and background of awareness is the pre-existing nervous system including brain due to the pre-existing matter.
The first awareness is totally in the unimaginable phase and belongs to God. The second awareness is in the junction of the unimaginable and imaginable phases with unimaginable background as one face and the imaginable nature as second face. The third awareness belongs to totally imaginable phase since its background and nature are imaginable. The first awareness has unlimited freedom. The second awareness has limited freedom by its nature even though its background has unlimited freedom. In the case of third awareness, the nature and background have little freedom. This little freedom was given by the process of evolution as per the view of scientist. As per the view of philosopher, this little freedom is given by God only.
You cannot argue that this little freedom given by God is the source of all problems. Up to the Krutayuga, all the human beings are like robots working on the basis of program fed by God without freedom. Since the behaviour of God is only for the justice, all the human beings were in the path of justice only up to Krutayuga. After Krutayuga, God gave limited freedom to human beings. This same statement is said by the scientist as the freedom given by the process of evolution in long time. You cannot blame God as the problem shooter due to granting the freedom to the human beings for two reasons: 1) All the human beings on achieving the little freedom did not show uniform behaviour by bending towards injustice. Some human beings with the same little freedom also were standing still in the path of justice. Hence, if the freedom is the reason of the problems, all the human beings should bend towards injustice only like the corrupt computers attacked by virus in uniform way. Since this is not seen in all the human beings homogeneously, freedom is not the source of problems. 2) If even little freedom is source of problems, the unlimited freedom of God must be the source of very big problems. In such case, God, having highest freedom should do highest injustice. But, God never did even trace of injustice while existing in any human incarnation. You should not say that Lord Krishna did highest injustice by meeting with the married Gopikas. Some foolish people of a religion also say that Krishna did highest injustice in the greatest war killing several people for which He alone is responsible. Both these allegations are meaningless. Krishna never went with any married lady after leaving Brundavanam. The Gopikas were sages and were tested about the strength of their bond with God in comparison with the worldly bonds. This is the field of Nivrutti involving God and souls and should not be confused with Pravrutti involving souls only. The sin done by a human being does not have such special background of Nivrutti. The time of Krishna was very near to Kaliyuga and since the justice almost collapsed (injustice is 75% since justice is 25% only standing on 1/4th legs), the punishment was applied to majority.
