12. The cosmic reality, which is infinite, eternal and true
and GOD ALMIGHTY are different. When viewed from the absolute
point of view, the GOD ALMIGHTY is the original source of
everything that has emerged. But the act of actual and
actualized creation is the handiwork of some lesser powers. It
is sinful to apportion blame to GOD ALMIGHTY for the
imperfection found in creation. When the authority to carry on
the work and creation is assigned to some powers, GOD ALMIGHTY
never interferes. All the talk of the mortals about God,
revelations, visions does not refer to the GOD ALMIGHTY. Such
occurrences are the handwork of gods only. Even incarnations
are done by lesser gods. Such gods are found in plenty,
differing in grades of power that they possess. For instance,
if vedas, as claimed by the Indians, are the revelation,
called shruti (what is heard), it should not be claimed that
the revelation is from the GOD ALMIGHTY.
Whatever is given or received from above means that the giver
is some God with some quantity of power given to him by the
highest power. Let this fact be clearly understood. Why we say
this with certitude is that all revelations are received in a
state of creative samaadhi and such creative
samaadhi is within the direct experience of the yogic
practitioner.
Better we stop here, with a prayer to GOD ALMIGHTY to bless
the mankind with yoga-saadhana, so that they can have
His blessing directly.
