[Shri Abhiram asked: Swamiji, how to digest for an ordinary person, that the creation is created by God for His entertainment or some variety in entertainment (bliss)?]
Swami replied:- In spite of elaborated explanation taking the example of a king in palace and in forest, you have asked this question. Kindly tell Me how to digest your question. Entertainment involving highest concept like true love should not be viewed with a low look. It is impossible to bring a higher concept than the above mentioned true love. If you feel that even true love is cheap, God will go back in to His original monistic state. If you are God, as per Advaita philosophy, you will do the same. In such a case, better do it. But, don’t force all other souls to enter that state. There are several souls, who love the concept of true love as the climax of merits. This creation is not a general entertainment like seeing a film show or reading a novel etc. This is praised as the best virtue of any life. The concept by itself is a Kohinoor diamond. Enjoyment in seeing such a rare diamond is not the enjoyment in seeing a gravel stone. God is the best and hence, the best enjoyment was chosen by Him in accordance to His best nature. You are understanding God as an ordinary human being, who is dissatisfied and bored with a continuous atmosphere aspiring for a change in entertainment like seeing the film show or watching some TV scene or participating in cricket game etc. In such cheap outlook, you are not digesting this situation. With the above said new background, you will digest this point in an excellent way and will feel hunger again and again to remember this point continuously. Apart from such a knowable goal of entertainment, God never allowed the victory of any injustice in His created world. In this way, there is nothing wrong. In that way of the highest goal, everything is the best. It means that there is no wrong food and the supplied food is the best. In such a case, where is the problem of indigestion?
