Brahman, Ishwara and Avatara

Brahman, Ishwara and Avatara


God is in association with this Mula Prakriti in the beginning.  At this stage the Mula Prakriti is only a creation or a created item and cannot do anything further. Its equilibrium continues.  In fact the Mula Prakriti is only inert and the continuation of such equilibrium is the inertia.  God enters the Mula Prakriti and pervades it.  Now this Mula Prakriti is like an electrified wire.  It is like an ignited stick and is called as fire.  Now this Mula Prakriti becomes divine and is called as Brahman or the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit, which is just the inert created item, became Holy due to the existence of God in it.  Now Brahman multiplies its little part of the Mula Prakriti in which, Parabrahman does not exist. This means that God enters ninety nine percent of Mula Prakriti and not one percent.

This little part of the undivine Mula Prakriti is multiplied by the disturbed equilibrium and the universe appears.  Thus, the pure awareness in which God pervaded, becomes Brahman.  Now Brahman becomes the spectator of the universe.  The little pure awareness into which God did not enter, is modified into the universe in which God does not exist.  Here the modification does not mean materialization.  The modification means the undisturbed equilibrium being converted into a disturbed equilibrium.  In both the states, the substance is only awareness. 

You can compare this to a day-dreamer’s mind.  The mind of the day-dreamer is Mula Prakriti.  A little part of the mind is converted into the dream.  The mind, which is not converted, is a spectator of the dream.  The dreamer is identified with the spectator-part of the mind.  Thus the dreamer is witnessing the dream through his unmodified mind.  The dreamer has not entered the dream and therefore has not multiplied.  When the dream city is burning neither the spectator-part of the mind is burnt nor the dreamer.

The spectator-part of the mind itself can be treated as the dreamer because the dreamer has entered that spectator part of the mind and exists in it.  Thus, Brahman, the spectator of the universe, can be treated as Parabrahman.  Such Parabrahman who is the spectator of the universe is called as Ishwara.  Thus, Parabrahman is the original unimaginable creator.  Mula Prakriti is the first created item, which is the pure awareness.  Brahman is the major part of pure awareness in which Parabrahman entered and occupied.  The same Brahman enjoying the universe by watching it is called as Ishwara.  Neither Parabrahman nor Brahman nor Ishwara have entered the universe, which is the disturbed equilibrium of the three qualities.  Thus, there is no disturbance in Parabrahman, Brahman or Ishwara. 

In Christianity, God is Parabrahman. Brahman and Ishwara are called as the Holy Spirit.  The Spirit is the substance with which the universe is made of.  The spirit is not holy because God did not occupy it.  Thus the universe is not holy in toto.  It is holy with reference to the good devotees and the divine incarnations.  It is unholy with reference to bad living beings and Satan. 

Parabrahman who is a spectator for some time develops a desire to enter this universe in the form of a living being especially as a human being because the main aim is to preach the divine knowledge. The Veda says the same (Tadevaanu Praavishat).  This divine human being in which, Parabrahman, Brahman or Ishwara exists, is called as the human incarnation or God in flesh. 

The human incarnation consists of four items:

1) God. 

2) Mula Prakriti, which is the pure awareness, Brahman, Aatman or Karana Shareera (causal body). 

3) Jeeva or Sukshma Sareera (subtle body) which is the disturbed equilibrium of the three qualities. 

4) The gross body made of five elements (sthula shareera), which is again imaginary in view of God but is a materialized form in view of other human beings. 

If you analyse any ordinary living being it contains all the three bodies except God.  If we analyse any inert item of the world, it contains only the gross body made of the five elements.
