1. When God comes in human form, will He have a dream state also?
[Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, When God comes in human form will He have dream state also? Will it violate the fact that the universe itself is originally the dream of God and leads to dream in dream?]
Swami replied:- The creation is inherently unreal, but, becomes absolutely real when it is gifted with absolute reality by God. This condition is necessary because the creation shall give real entertainment to God. Hence, the creation is made absolutely real by God and no more, the concept of unreality exists with the creation. This real creation is no more a dream for God. For the soul, this creation is never a dream because the soul is a part of the creation and hence, the creation is always real to the soul. When the creation became absolutely real, the dream state in the creation is in subtle state and other gross items like hills, rivers etc., are in gross state. The entire creation is never in dream state because 1) before the creation, the creation was unreal and 2) after the creation, it is absolutely real for the sake of entertainment for God. Of course, in the absolute reality of creation, there are two types of items:- a) Gross items and b) subtle items. Hence, the subtle creation (dreams) is the subtle item of the absolute reality. In the creation when the selected human being becomes the alive human incarnation, the gross creation is gross absolute reality and the subtle creation is the subtle absolute reality, which is the dream. The dream of the human incarnation also is the subtle absolute reality. When the human incarnation performs a miracle, a small concerned portion of this creation disappears because it becomes unreal allowing for some manifestation through the miracle of God. Hence, every dream in the world and the dream of the alive human incarnation, -both are subtle states of the absolutely real world.
2. How can God be in bliss if He was bored before the creation of the world?
[If God was bored before creation of this world, how come He was having 100% bliss, since boredom itself is a misery state? (b) If bliss is the same for God before and after creation, how can variety play a role? By changing the item, enjoyed bliss is not changed even a bit. Qualitative aspect of increase in bliss due to variety imply that bliss was not 100% before creation and variety added missing bliss to become 100% after creation. Swami kindly clarify this point.]
Swami replied:- I explained this very well in the answer for question number 3 asked by Shri Kishore Ram (refer to the message on October 29, 2022). Please go through it patiently.
3. How does God derive additional bliss by enjoying misery in this world when He comes in human form?
[God is continuously having bliss. How then did He derive additional bliss by enjoying misery in this world when He comes here in human form?]
Swami replied:- The possessor of a thousand rupees can deal the business involving some hundreds that side (profit) and this side (loss). Similarly, the possessor of the highest bliss can involve Himself in worldly matters having different lower quantities of bliss. The highest bliss will not contradict the lower bliss and only vice-versa brings contradiction.
4. Will adopting Avagunthanam not prevent incidents like rape from happening in society?
[If women adopt using Avagunthanam (covering the whole body of the lady with a big piece of cloth) will it not prevent incidents like rape happening in the society from the root itself? At Your Divine Lotus Feet-anil]
Swami replied:- Complete avoidance may not be true but control can be achieved.
