Nothing can exist except God, say the Upanishadas.
Thank you
If we are GOD already,why and what for we are bound by the limitations of Human-Form.
When inanimates become animates,i.e Food Transforming into Living Things,at what stage the SOULs are introduced, for the scientists recently proved that certain animals too can 'think'
Are we the Created Beings or Evolved Beings.Kindly throw Light.

Shri V S Dwarkanath,
You are fortunate that you are feeling curious about understanding the
secrets of God and his creation. Please read the commentry of Hon.
Shankaracharya on "Atha to Brahma Jignasa" in Brahama Sutra. Please
keep it going.
Here are answers to your questions based on the knowledge of Vedanta
and on the opinions of the ancient Rishis.
1. Our mind gives us impression that we are bound by bodily limitation.
When the mind becomes defunct (especially in Samadhi) the limitations
vanish.
2. Soul (Atma) is already there in any visible or invisible form that our mind
is able to think.
3. We are neither created beings or evolved beings. The birth and death is
simply the illusion created by interactions of the Gunas of Prakriti (the
properties and qualities of three kind, the nature possesses). Kindly refer
to the 3/28 Bhagwat Geeta.
Thanks and regards
Swami Anilje
Dear Guruji,
I am very much impressed with the articles and convinced with the Nirguna God. I have a few questions though.
1. How can one control thoughts?
2. How is hinduism a way of life?
3. Why is the evolution described in Upanishads so complicated?
4. What is the concept of Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh?
5. Is Ramayan & Mahabharata mythology or history of different yugas?
Question : Rohit Gaunker, Panaji/Goa, India M/31 20th January 2009

Shri Rohit Gaunker,
Namaskar,
Here are replies to your questions.
1. Bhagwat Geeta says "Non grasping" (Vairagya) and practice (Abhyas)
helps one control the thoughts.
2. Hinduism is way of life because it covers and guides on all the aspects of life till one attains self realization. Hinduism can't be limited to the difinition of "Religion" as is understood by the world.
3. The evolution of the world described in Upanishada does not remain complicated if it is learnt under the guidance of self-realized Guru. Indvidual/arbitrary efforts to learn Upanishadas is dangerous. The evolution of the world described in the Upanishads is no doubt a secret which is stated under "Anwaya and Vyatireka" style.
4. Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh is Concept > Visual > Calm (state before concept)
5. Ramayana and Mahabharata are guiding stories (Puranas) for seekers as well as for the people.
Thank you and good wishes
Swami Aniljee
