[Guru Purnima Day] God wanted to create the universe and based on this reason God is thought to be awareness. Awareness can alone desire to do anything and not an inert entity. Another strong reason is that as the human awareness creates dream-space and the subsequent dream in it, the God-awareness created this real space and the universe in it. Just as the dream and its space are generated by the human awareness, maintained and controlled, and finally dissolved in human awareness, the universe along with the real space is generated, controlled and is dissolved by God-awareness. Another step was that the human awareness itself is God-awareness. As the dream-space and dream are real during the period of dream, the universe and real space are real during the maintenance of the creation. This argument removes the difference between the dream and the real world. But, there are some strong objections to this concept. The human awareness is a specific work form of inert energy functioning in the specific system called nervous system. If the human awareness and God-awareness are one and the same, the God-awareness also requires the existence of inert energy and nervous system made of matter before its generation. This means, even before the creation of real space, inert energy and matter should have existed and such existence becomes false since the real space is absent to accommodate them. When the dream-space dissolves into human awareness, the human awareness exists in real space. The human awareness is nothing but a form of energy, which requires space for propagation.
If God-awareness is also the same human awareness, then this real world along with the real space dissolves in God-awareness and then the God-awareness also requires real space for its existence and propagation. Thus, the existence of real space is required after the dissolution of the real space and this becomes a self-contradiction. To avoid all these opposing arguments, you must say that God-awareness is unimaginable awareness. The unimaginable awareness does not require the existence of matter and inert energy for its generation due to the unimaginable nature. For the same reason, the unimaginable God-awareness does not require space for its existence and propagation. By this, you can avoid all the inconvenient questions. But the unimaginable God-awareness cannot be the imaginable human awareness. Moreover if you analyze the unimaginable awareness, it must be resolved into two components: 1) Unimaginable entity and 2) Awareness. The second component which is the awareness must be the same imaginable human awareness. In such case, the awareness cannot be unimaginable. The word ‘unimaginable’ is only an adjective of the subject ‘awareness’. In such case, the awareness should be either the usual imaginable human awareness or the unimaginable God-awareness. If you analyze the word ‘awareness’, the awareness is only a specified form of work of some subject entity. You are aware of something. Here you are the subject and awareness is your work. By this analysis, we can easily conclude that the awareness cannot be a subjective entity. The word ‘unimaginable’ should be the subjective entity and awareness should be its property or work. The awareness is only an activity of the unimaginable entity. Since the entity is unimaginable, its properties or activities or works must be also unimaginable. In such case, the awareness of God becomes unimaginable as the property of unimaginable God. By this, we can easily say that the unimaginable God is aware or wishes through unimaginable way, without being the imaginable awareness.
Therefore, the unimaginable God need not be awareness to know or wish. If you say that an imaginable entity knows or wishes, it must be awareness due to the logical application of worldly observation. Since you have established that God is unimaginable, God can know or wish without being awareness. If God burns anything, He need not be fire. If an imaginable entity burns anything, it must be fire based on the worldly logic. But, since God is unimaginable entity, He can burn anything without being the fire. Even the fire is burning anything due to the will of the unimaginable God only. When the unimaginable God was expressed through an energetic form called Yaksha, the fire could not burn anything due to the will of the unimaginable God. Therefore, the burning power belongs to the unimaginable God and not to the fire. Such power is granted to the fire by the unimaginable God only. If the unimaginable God withdraws that power from the fire, the fire cannot burn anything. This story comes in the Veda. Therefore, the conclusion is that the unimaginable God need not be awareness to know or wish. Infact, the awareness itself has the power of wish or knowledge, sanctioned by the unimaginable God only.
Mistakes of Human Beings
These two mistakes have led to think that the human awareness is God. The unimaginable God enters the energetic form and is called as the Father of heaven. The same unimaginable God enters a materialized human form and is called as the human incarnation. Narayana is the energetic form charged by the unimaginable God. Krishna is the materialized human form charged by the same unimaginable God. From the point of content, both Narayana and Krishna are one and the same. Both differ from the point of the container or the charged medium. Since energy is first and matter is the subsequent, you can say that Krishna came from Narayana from the point of the medium. Matter is condensed energy. Similarly, Jesus is materialized human form charged by the unimaginable God and the Father of heaven is energetic form charged by the same unimaginable God. From the point of content, the unimaginable God, Jesus and Father of heaven are one and the same and this is stated by Jesus that He and His father are one and the same. From the point of the charged medium, Jesus is the Son of the Father of heaven, since the matter came from energy by condensation. From the point of the medium, Jesus said that He is the Son of God.
