Do you know how and why the devil, pains and miseries in this world and life came?
At the start or genesis of universe, there was only one almighty God, the brahman , cosmic soul ( parmatma ). After many yug
s (eras) of being alone and blissful, he thought of becoming many from one and said: eko hum, bahu syami (in sanskrit it means,
I am one, let me be many). And with this concept ( sankalp ) alone, the ball of duality and multiplcity of creation started
rolling, and still is rolling on and on through four yuga s that is, satyug, tretayug dwaparyug and now in kalyug and even
beyond till eternity. And from one to two and many, also came in devil, misery, pain and division, ego, you and I, mine and
thine and endless mutual conflicts that filled all our lives with all sorts of pains and problems.
So the basic sin
was his desire to become two - purusha and prakriti (as held in samkhya philosophy), and many from the original one being
or purusha and his second (consort or prakriti ). Now being disgusted with 99.9% evil and pains in the world, it appears to
me the good old God is wishing again just the reverse i.e.: bahu ahum, eko syami (I am too many, let me be one: I, me and
myself only).
And the process of involution, as against evolution, subdivisions and endless mutations, i.e. recoil
and merger of all back into the original one - the vedantic brahman , without even his consort, will start, or has started
already. That’s the only way to solve this root of all world's miseries, pains and evil. Duality and multiplicity itself
is the first evil, the original sin that generates pain. Like a man cannot live happily without a woman and a woman can’t
live without her children and children want al the resources of the world to be happy like their colleagues and neighbors,
and they again go in the same cyclic expansion process, needing their life partners ad infinitum.
It is his creation
and can be solved by him only. It would not be like the conventional pralaya (annihilation of the world) by natural catastrophies
like torrential rains, floods, volcanic eruptions, epidemics, famines or wars etc, but like a projection operator switching
off his projector light and the disgustingly horrible film of cosmic story vanishes from the screen leaving the blank space
or void, instantly and painlessly.
However, now the question is: will he again get bored with himself after many yug
s (eras) of being one and the only one being in the universe? And then, will he desire again: eko hum, bahu syami , and will
this cycle/pendulum of creation and merger, evolution and involution, go on ad infinitum? Can’t he stop at: eko hum,
do syami , so that he is happy with his second, i.e.consort only, without becoming/creating third and so on? Can’t he
practise cosmic family planning of: hum do, hamin do, not hum do hamare do .
That’s why I consider those couples
who do not have (or don’t create) any issue, are supremely divine and blissful, showing even God the way to create a
happy and self-contented, blissful state of existence, remaining himself and making the others also happy. The advent of third
from the primal two ( purusha and prakrti of samkhya philosophy) may be disastrous, just as being vedantic one only may become
unbearable at times, for him and us alike. This alone will be the path of golden mean - nirvana or moksha .
Microcosm
( brahmand ) is contained within, and governed by, the microcosm ( pind ). Hence, each one of us can contain the above cosmic
malady, by finding our own second part, a harmonious consort, and remain two only in love, never multiplying into three or
more, as the primal absolute did. Otherwise there will be no end to our ceaseless divisive multiplication and resultant miseries.
Just as with each building its shadow is also born, with each creation its painful evil side is also created, automatically.
