Creation Stories (creation vs evolution debate)
World creation stories:
how the world got created... the origin of earth... the origin of life on Mother
Earth... the essence of all lay in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the foremost
of all sacred scriptures existing on Mother Earth.
The creation
of world by God Almighty... a fact of life or a misnomer! Creation
vs evolution debate is an ongoing phenomenon... that has no end!
Those who believe in bible and God do not believe in concept of
evolution... on the contrary scientific community believing evolution
do not trust the theory of creation as projected by Christianity...
the creation of cosmos in seven days!
The creation
of earth results from gradual evolution in the cosmic system.
What was the need for life to exist in the cosmic system! Human
beings world over debate when we are all children of God... why
got created sufferings for mankind? The true essence of life laid
in the existence of our soul atman... the spirit within!
The
most fascinating part of world creation stories is... that God Almighty himself
explodes self to create the whole Cosmos... the manifest life as we see today!
Those would dispute the existence of God do not understand the basic rudiments
of cosmic system. God Almighty is not the form of human beings... it is a source
of enormous colossal cosmic energy! As
per the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the most apt definition of God Almighty
is, the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the whole Cosmos at a given
moment of time! This massive power much beyond the comprehension of most human
beings including scientific community in its original prime pure state occupies
the volume of half a thumb! And
what is this half a thumb? As per sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism the volume
of God Almighty in its prime pure state is just the size of half a thumb!
Devoid of all dross impurities within every soul atman... the combined cluster
of all purified souls atmans in the whole Cosmos occupy the volume of just half
a thumb! Imagine
a situation that the old cosmos is dying... the dissolution of the old cosmos
is occurring! As ordained by God almighty... existing from times immemorial...
whatever the stage of any soul atman in the Cosmos... every single soul atman
the spirit within reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!
Mahavira...
the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism (preceptor) does not accept this fact... the prime
reason why existence of God in Jainism has not been accepted! Jainism denies existence
of God in totality. As per Jainism the whole Cosmos exists from times immemorial...
the cosmos is without a beginning! Mahavira
failed to understand that until all souls atmans reached the last leg of cosmic
life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the complete dissolution of the Cosmos
could not occur! In absence of dissolution of the whole Cosmos... creation of
a new cosmos is totally ruled out! Mahavira
believed in concept of dissolution of the Cosmos yet, he stated that at the time
of dissolution of the Cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... whatever be the state
of any soul atman... the same exists when the new cosmos gets created!
As
per Mahavira if the karmic index of a soul in the last manifestation was 6, 43,002...
Then after dissolution of the Cosmos... this particular soul would again manifest
life at a karmic index of 6, 43,002 in the new cosmos! This just cannot be...
Mahavira was wrong... The prime reason why Mahavira failed to understand the complete
gist of Bhagavad Gita! Jainism
or no Jainism... the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita was put forward by Lord Krishna
in the battle of Mahabharata about thousand years before the coming of Mahavira.
The existence of Lord Krishna is a fact of life and can never be denied! Lord
Krishna came about thousand years earlier to Mahavira... the precepts contained
in Bhagavad Gita contain absolute purity! Belief
or no belief is the sole prerogative of every individual human being living on
Mother Earth yet, following a religion ritualistically does not lead anywhere!
We need interpreting the sacred scriptures in the light of logic... the
developments of science as of today!
If
during times of Lord Krishna the battle was fought with bows and arrows... we
do not fight our enemy today with bows and arrows! Why? If we believe in one precept...
we must also believe in all other precepts contained in the sacred Scripture!
Based on logic... everything contained in the sacred scripture is right or
everything is wrong! There is nothing in between! I
was born in Jainism religion! I am a follower of Jainism yet, precepts contained
in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism are foremost for me! Bhagavad Gita contains
absolute purity and nothing else! All the 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad
Gita have no parallel in mankind... the prime reason why one who assimilates the
teachings of Bhagavad Gita gains enlightenment! The
creation of the world as put forward by Bhagavad Gita is not tainted in any respect.
The whole Cosmos began its journey when God Almighty... the cluster of all purified
souls atmans in the Cosmos exploded with a big bang! And why does God Almighty
explode with a big bang? After
the dissolution of old Cosmos... when all pure souls combine together to form
the size of half a thumb... this enormous colossal cosmic energy called God Almighty
unable to contain itself for long in its prime pure state again explodes with
a big bang and forms a new cosmos! The
explosion of God Almighty with a big bang is not accepted in any religion world
over except the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! The precepts contained in sacred
Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism contain everything worth knowable in the cosmic system.
From the beginning of life to the end of journey by the soul atman... all is contained
in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! Yet,
the contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita can never be understood literally... it needs
reading in between the lines! Fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in sacred
Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age!
Having
reached the end of spiritual pursuit... I have nowhere else to for go further!
The moment I leave my mortal frame... I shall attain salvation (moksha)! For
understanding world creation story... the origin of life in the Cosmos we have
to base our thinking on logic rather than religion! It is through the
path of spirituality not religion human beings finally reached God! Sooner
the big bang explosion occurs and all purified souls atmans scattered all over
at unimaginable speeds... in the melee the hurtling souls atmans gathered impurities
similar as a rolling ball gathers moss! To cleanse themselves of the dross impurities
within starts cosmic life cycle of every soul atman the spirit within! Does
this mean journey of life in cosmic system belongs to our soul atman the spirit
within and not human form yes, the truth is so! Similar as one KG of pure gold
sandwiched in lump of hundred KG of gold ore cannot separate itself of its own
and requires external mining machinery and processes for extraction... every soul
atman also requires manifesting a chain of bodies to purify itself!
In
its entire life cycle of 96.4 million years every soul atman manifests a total
of 8.4 million bodies! The entire life span of 96.4 million earthly years is one
single life span for a soul atman. Body after body... manifestation after manifestation
the journey of life for soul atman continues uninterrupted! The moment human beings
gained enlightenment... all is over for soul atman within! In
the cosmic domain it is not human form but our soul atman the spirit within that
is absolute master and controller of the body! It is not within the capability
of the human body to manifest a soul atman. Right from first manifestation as
an amoeba to the last as human beings... the goal of life for every soul atman
remains reaching 8.4 millionth manifestation at the earliest! The
creation of Cosmos... the creation of Earth... the creation of life supporting
planets like Mother Earth is not within control of God Almighty... prime reason
why it has been said that Cosmos exists from times immemorial! No sooner dissolution
of Cosmos occurs (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)... a new cosmos gets created!
Continuity
of life always exists in the cosmic system. After death of present cosmic system...
the present Cosmos... a new cosmos would immediately gets created! It is a perpetual
cycle not in control of anybody. The cycle of life continues unabated! Life in
the cosmic system is an ongoing process! None can interfere with the system including
God Almighty! The
functioning of the complete cosmic system is like a massive supercomputer preprogrammed
for everything. As we pray accordingly the results! If we know our prayers...
we definitely get results! The problem is not one in a million knows how to pray!
When in need... when in distress people remember God... how many remember God
in happier times! Those
who maintain equipoise in life... neither feeling disturbed in sufferings nor
enjoying happiness always experience choicest grace of God Almighty! It is the
presence of such people in mankind that makes journey of life worthwhile!
Simply
believing our religion ritualistically... non acceptance of logic never leads
one to god! Only by believing in Lord Krishna and the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita
imparted by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in Mahabharata does one reach the portals
of kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). Enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)
is not that easily gained! If
we truly desire understanding world creation stories... the origin of the Cosmos...
the creation of earth stories... we need to think beyond our religion... the laid
down precepts of every religion! It is only through the path of jnana yoga
(absolute wisdom) contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... human beings
see the light of the day! The
sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism does not belong to Hindus alone! Follower of
any religion... faith or creed can follow Bhagavad Gita even while remaining in
ones religion! Bhagavad Gita has universal appeal... it forms the connecting link
between human life and the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally
salvation (moksha).
