Evolution of Love 2

Evolution

Evolution in nature means becoming step by step. You dwell in the world of nature (prakrit jagat) where one views everything according to the spectacles worn over one's eyes.
So long as one lives in the realm of form and quality, one is bound to be subjected to the opposites of happiness and pain.
In the world of nature there does exist this interplay between joy and sorrow.

The Lord stages a play,
Himself playing all the parts.
The world is created by a mere stroke of God's imagination.

In the Upanishads it is explained that the mouth does not eat, the feet do not walk
- He alone exists.
He transcends Maya and yet appears subjected to Maya.
He is playing according to His will.

Try to become singleminded, mindless as it were. You can either take the path of neti, neti, "not this, not that" or the path of "Thou art this, Thou art that". He who takes care of everybody is the one and only Brahman.
Rama, Krishna, Kali, all represent the same Being, everything is contained in each.

If you look upon a tree as divine,
God will be revealed even there.
Where is God not?
The One-with-Quality (Saguna) becomes Himself the Quality.

For the sake of His play,
He assumes the guise of Maya.
