Kali Yuga & effort to transform the souls

Krishna, Mohammad, Shri Sathya Sai Baba

Meaning of ‘formless’ God

Like Rama, Krishna also killed the devils through personal fights and also through the great war of Mahabharata. The reason was that some were totally good and some were totally bad. In the present time, everyone is partially good and partially bad. Therefore, removal of bad people to protect the good people is not possible. If killing is to be done, all humanity will be erased and this is going to be done in the end of this Kali Yuga. Before that, God is making efforts to transform all the humanity through preaching of spiritual knowledge. Shri Sathya Sai Baba did this extensively to such extent that He lost His voice in the old age.

 

Like Mohammed, Krishna adopted the war to protect justice as told already. Baba adopted the preaching since every human being is partially bad. The serious problem in the time of Mohammed was multiplicity of God by which the humanity was split to the extent of fights and killings. Mohammed tried to preach the unity of God. But, the people did not listen since they were adopted to fights only. The xxx will understand anything in its own language only. Hence, Mohammed resorted to wars to bring the unification of religions by the concept of single God and He succeeded in His effort. He preached that God has no form since God in different forms was the cause for the religious split. God only takes a form and this does not mean God is the form. If you take a pencil in your hand, you are not the pencil. You have the pencil. Similarly, when God takes the form, God is not the form and you should say that God has the form. God is unimaginable and cannot be any imaginable item. Every imaginable item has form. When God takes form, you should not say that God has become the form. Therefore, when the unimaginable God takes and imaginable item as His medium, you should not say that God is transformed into imaginable item.

 

If God is really transformed into imaginable item, there will be multiplicity of God leading to fights. By taking pencil, if you have become really the pencil, and after sometime, you take a pen by which you have become the pen. The war starts between the two persons since somebody says that you are the pencil and the other person says that you are the pen. Krishna clearly stated this in the Gita. The Gita says that ignorant people misunderstand God that the unimaginable God is really transformed into imaginable form since they do not know that God is actually unimaginable (Avyaktam Vyaktimaapannam…).
