The reasons why the Lord creates unlimited universes
Dear Devotees,
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! My humble obeisances!
Lord Gauranga Krishna is a infinite mine of wonders! Even though the material creation is His inferior aspect, it's creation is downright ingenious to the power of infinity!! It is a perfect arrangement to ensure that the souls are ultimately purified and made to reach Him, right down from the sub-atomic, abstract subtle level to the gigantic unlimited infinte universes.
Of course, one very good question would be : Why did the Lord create unlimited universes? Each is a fully complete entity with no dependence on the others. Souls in one universes cannot travel to other universes. So we can ask : "What for did the Lord make such a huge arrangement? Why not just have one big super universe for all? Is he not omnipotent?"
The answer I got is amazing : The following is just the tiny layer of understanding that I was allowed to see which is itself so wonderful.
Srinath: Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna! I had a doubt as to why the Lord created innumerable universes
Instead of one big material world and I think I got an answer. But I need confirmation This was what came down :
The Lord has innumerable pastimes and all His pastimes in the material world are going on all the time. He wants to manifest Himself only occasionally from time to time to the souls, yet He has to manifest eternally to the conditioned souls so that they can be deliverd. He also has to manifest occasionally so that there is some space between all His incarnations and pastimes. And at the same time He wants to keep delivering all the living entities. So if we had only one universe, we wouldn't have all of this happening only at once.
Swami: Yes
Srinath: By creating unlimited universes, the Lord has made unlimited room so that He can manifest His Supreme Pastimes like Gaura lila, Which are full of mercy
Swami: And also there are some material desires which cannot be satisfied in our universe since our universe has only four dimensions subtle material desires
Srinath: On the large scale, the material creation is that way never bereft of The Lord's mercy?
Whaat? You mean universes like Brahma with 1 million heads?
Swami: Yes, they have 1 million dimensions
Srinath: That means life there must be extremely complicated. Our universe is the smallest one
Swami: Yes Yes
Srinath: But yes that is the other reason. But on the Absolute level, it is basically the best trick to ensure that Lord Gauranga Krishna's pastimes remain eternally available to the material creation
Swami: This material world is made so that the soul can try to the fullest extent to satisfy the desires separate from the Lord and become fully exhausted.
Yes, sure. Also the Lord wanted to be more personal to the souls so He grouped the souls in universes
Srinath: Can souls travel between universes then?
Swami: No
Srinath: Then by all means we have been given the best possible opportunity of all time now
Swami: yes
Srinath: This age of Mahaprabhu
Swami: Yes, that is rare in all universes
Srinath: And souls like me are in a position to take advantage of it. That is even more rare. Practically for all reasons it is safe to say that this is indeed one of a kind opportunity which you devotees have given us. In practice this opportunity with such ideal circumstances won't come again. So I should make the best use of it.
But here is the ultra hilarious answer that will have all devotees rolling on the ground in laughter and ecstasy!!
Oh there is one more very hilarious reason for many universes. Lord Nityananda is His expansion of Ananta Sesha has unlimited heads. So Lord Gauranga gave each of Lord Nityananda's unlimited heads a job to do so by making each head support a universe and ultimately He makes such an arrangement so that no part of Lord Nityananda would be denied a chance to serve Lord Gauranga Krishna! That's how He serves Himself! Complete service...literally
On one hand we may say that in order to serve Lord Gauranga Krishna in supporting unlimited universes, Lord Nityananda manifested infinite heads. But actually both are true and eternal. Lord Gauranga Krishna keeps giving unlimited service opportunities for His service and His servants are eternally coming up with outright ingeneous ways of serving Him.
Oh Lord! How wonderful you are at giving devotees service opportunities! Oh Devotees! How wonderful you are to come up with such unlimited ways to serve the Lord. I pray that I should become just another of your servants, serving you by your mercy.
Daaso'smi,
Srinath
Swami: Jaya wonderful.
Srinath:
Totally beautiful isn't it?
