Shri Anil asked: Padanamaskaram Swami! Why can’t we take creation, maintenance and destruction activity of God as His inherent characteristic?
Swami replied:- The reason is that before creation unimaginable God existed alone without even idea of the creation and for such unimaginable God, unimaginable nature is the characteristic, which is His inherent nature. His inherent unimaginable nature is known to Himself only. Of course, after the creation, the creation is expected to continue with Him in subtle state (Avyaktam). But, such continuation is not a must. It may continue or totally disappear depending upon the wish of God. Hence, the unimaginable nature (unimaginable to created souls) is the only permanent inherent characteristic of the absolute unimaginable God.
