[Smt. Swathi asked:- ]
1. What is the difference between God and His power? Are both the same?
Swami replied:- In scientific or worldly logic, the possessor of power results by the condensation of power. Sun is the condensed globe of light energy. In this way, sun and sunlight are not different at all. But, the impure world is born from pure God even though God is 100% pure. Hence, this relationship is quite different in the case of God and His power. Hence, we say that God is beyond worldly or scientific logic. Hence, God is called unimaginable whereas world is imaginable. No example in the world can be taken to compare with the unimaginable God. In the world, there is no unimaginable item and in every case, an imaginable item is generated from another imaginable item only so that such generation process can be explained with scientific logic.
2. Swami, the human being is said to be the highest in the creation, but, appears to be lowest in its behaviour. Why?
Swami replied:- The over development of intelligence is responsible to develop several crooked and cunning ways by which the human being loses its high value. Bad smell comes out from the dead human body very quickly compared to other beings like animals, etc. The human being is always bound by ambition (aashaa), related work (karma) and worry for the fruit (cintaa). This is told as “Āśayā badhyate lokaḥ, karmaṇā bahu cintayā”. The human ambition for wealth is in climax state even though i) Earning of wealth, ii) Protection of earned wealth, iii) Wealth while coming to you and iv) Wealth while leaving you causes a lot of misery only. The human being shows worst blind fascination towards worldly bonds in spite of knowing that one has to leave them permanently after this short birth.
