Śrī Rādhā Devī uvāca:-

[Shri Radha Devi spoke:-]

[O Emperor of the creators of illusions! The duplicate forms created by You have Your form only. The enjoyment attained by any Gopika in the union with Your duplicate form is also the same as we both get in our union. Therefore, I conclude that You alone are meeting with all the Gopikas as their close friend and darling husband.]

 

[You tell that the media of Yourself and myself and the media of Gopika and created Krishna are exactly of one and the same nature. The unimaginable God or Parabrahman is not involved and even if involved, I am not experiencing Him due to my imposed ignorance. This makes that every Gopika is getting the same experience from created Krishna as I get from You, the real Krishna. Like this, my role in this creation is always a demo-piece like a measuring scale to indicate the equal happiness of any Gopika with my happiness.]

 

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān uvāca:-

[God Shri Krishna spoke:-]

[O Radha! You have exposed ignorant and innocent thought that suits your ignorant role. Your comment is provoking Me to speak at once. I will explain the entire spiritual knowledge to you.]

 

[God is said to be the possessor of the unimaginable power called Māyā (Māyinaṃ ca Maheśvaram… - Veda). Māyā also means the power to create illusion. If the context needs the creation of illusion, the illusion must be created. If the context needs the exhibition of truth only, illusion shall not be created. A person capable of both alone will not be harmed in this world. If a person has only one type of capacity, which is either speaking truth or creating illusion, such person will be harmed in this world. Hence, expression of truth or creation of illusion is needed as per the required context.]

 

[Generally, in Nivrutti, all the worldly bonds are sacrificed along with their fascinations for the sake of God’s work based on single fascination to God. Sometimes, in some cases, if a devotee forms romantic fascination towards God and if the devotee craves for it, that is also justified from the point of view of the devotee (when all the worldly bonds of the devotee are united to form a single bond with God and when all the fascinations of the bonds are united to form single fascination to God, the romantic feeling of spouse-bond also exists for the devotee towards God, in which case, all the worldly bonds are seen in the bond with God). At the same time, I am always a perfect celibate and cannot involve Myself in romance with any created soul in this world. In this context, I have to create a human being having My form to satisfy the devotee encouraging her in spiritual progress without spoiling My celibacy as declared by God Brahma. In such above special context, the special unimaginable power called the Maayaa should be used and there is no other way than this.]

 

[Since you are covered by the strongest ignorance, you are not remembering the old incidents happened in the upper worlds. Now, you are in this materialized body, which indicates solidified matter as the quality of Tamas that stands for concentrated ignorance. You were Goddess Sarasvatii in the energetic body of awareness and you were My power of knowledge. Actually, you have created this plan in the beginning of the creation and passed it to Me. You have forgotten your own plan and now, you are criticizing your own plan!]

 

[Your plan is most wonderful since the human beings created by Me are having forms similar to My form so that Gopikas are perfectly satisfied that they are in the union with real Krishna only. At the same time, Myself, the real Krishna is not involved in the romantic affair with any worldly soul so that My celibacy is untouched in anyway. You have protected not only My celibacy, but also My professional justice that God shall give the boon for the penance (craving for God with climax pain) of the devotee. The usual saying that neither serpent died nor the stick is broken became true.]

 

[Since you are the same incarnation of Parabrahman like Me, I unite with you through My real form only. Since our external roles are inherently illusory worldly media, the dualism between both of us is not at all real. Since the internal actor is the same unimaginable God or Parabrahman, the monism between us is the ultimate reality. You are not the worldly soul, which is quite different from Me since a human being cannot be the human incarnation. The pleasure I get from you is the same infinite divine bliss of Parabrahman. You are also getting the same bliss, but, you are not recognizing it since your experience is obstructed by your imposed ignorance that is required for your role. In this way, My celibacy is protected in your case also.]

 

[I am the incarnation of God Vishnu and therefore, I represent the possessor of power only. You are the incarnation of the power of God Vishnu, which is the power of His pleasure called Hlādinī Śakti. Hence, you are the incarnation of unimaginable power of God. Not only this, you are also the incarnation of God Shiva (since Radha is the incarnation of Sage Durvāsa and Durvāsa is the incarnation of God Shiva) and hence, you are the incarnation of God Shiva, which means that you are the incarnation of both the unimaginable power of God and also the incarnation of God. You are greater than Me since you are not only the incarnation of possessor of power, but also the incarnation of power of God. I am only the incarnation of God, who is the possessor of power.]

 

[The divine female incarnations like Sītā, Rukmiṇī etc., are only the incarnations of unimaginable power of unimaginable God. You, Radha, alone is sung by scholars that you are DevaDevii with doubly confirmed divinity. You are the root power of all powers called Mahā Māyā or the Queen of Parabrahman.]

 

[Like God Datta, Goddess Anaghā is also having three faces and six hands bearing the same items borne by God Datta. The three faces belong to Sarasvatī (wife of God Brahma), Lakshmii (wife of God Vishnu) and Pārvatī (wife of God Shiva). You, Radha, are the incarnation of Goddess Anaghā. You being Goddess Sarasvatī are possessing such tremendous ignorance now. This is impossible! But, this happened due to the will of the absolute unimaginable God or Parabrahman only.]

 

[Between Myself and the created Krishna, there is only similarity between two forms. The two forms are different items and how can they have unity? They are two different forms having similarity in the forms. Except this similarity, there is no relationship between the two forms. The face and moon are two different items. Both may have similarity.]

 

[Both the items are not one item. If the form of one item is transferred to the second item, the form of the first item must disappear there. The two forms are different items having similarity. The meaning of similar items is different from the meaning of same item. People say that seven human beings in the world have similarity in their forms. Does this mean that if one person does sin, all the seven persons must be punished?]

 

[There are several lotus flowers. Since the name ‘lotus flower’ is one and the same, do you mean that there is only one lotus flower? Similarly, since there is similarity between the forms of lotus flowers, do you mean that there is only one lotus flower? The substance from which an item is created is called as material cause (upādānam) and the item is called as the product (kāryam). The product is completely related to the material cause. The intellectual cause (nimittam) is not involved in this discussion. The mud is the material cause. The shape of the pot is the product. The intellectual cause is the potter. The shape of the pot is completely related and dependent on the material cause. The intellectual cause is not involved in this point because the potter cannot separate the product and material cause.]

 

[With the help of the mud pot, water is transported. In this action, only the mud and the shape of the pot, which are interrelated to each other is the cause for this action of transportation of water from tank to home. The pot-maker is not involved in this action of transportation of water. God created souls as human beings by integrating the soul with body and qualities. Hence, the actions of the souls do not bind God since the souls are given free will.]

 

[Even though I created them and involved them in this action, since I am not directly involved in the action in any angle, I am not touched by this action. Moreover, there is no sin in this action because Gopikas are not breaking justice for the sake of another human being. They are breaking the justice for the sake of God since they have full faith that these created Krishnas are real forms of real Krishna only. The similarity of their forms with My form is the main basis for their faith. If all this is sin, these Gopikas should go to hell, but they will go to Goloka, which is higher than the abode of God. This is the practical proof for the argument.]

 

[The product of potter’s work is only the mud pot. Mud is the cause of its product called shape of the pot. The work of potter is related to both mud and shape of the pot. The total statement is that the potter is responsible for the preparation of mud pot. Later on, the water is carried by the mud pot and for this process, the mud pot is the cause. Afterwards, with this water, cooking is done and for the process of cooking, water is the cause and not the mud pot. Similarly, the created Krishnas are responsible for the union with Gopikas along with giving and getting pleasure. I am not the cause anywhere in this chain of causes and products. I am only the cause for the creation of these duplicate Krishnas.]

 

[Certainly, I can be considered as the root cause. You can blame Me provided the final product of the chain is sin. But, the end result is only to help the sages to reach their ultimate goal called God. This generates only merit and not the sin. Having My form and helping the sages in spiritual path by encouraging them through the dance without internal sex is not at all a sin. In the case of 16,107 wives, though sex is involved, it is not illegal. My duplicate forms in these cases protect My celibacy.]

 

[O Radha! In both of us, unimaginable God exists. In both of us exists the external medium, which is having the same nature and reality of the illusory world. In our union, the unimaginable God is also involved, who is merged with Me and I am aware of Him. In your self also exists the same unimaginable God merged with you, but you are unaware of Him due to your imposed ignorance for the sake of your role. Hence, you are aware of only this taste of illusory happiness that is generated due to the interaction of media of both of us. This trace of happiness is also generated in Gopika uniting with duplicate Krishna and in fact, this trace of happiness is generated and experienced by every human couple in this creation. Hence, Gopika and yourself are equal in this experience of trace of happiness and the same trace of happiness exists in the union of any human couple in this human world.]

 

[The similarity between the forms of Myself and My duplicates is the fundamental basis that satisfies the Gopikas that they have met God. Similarly, the Gopikas will feel that they have met with My real form because whatever happiness you got, they have also got the same happiness. This second point confirms the first point once again. By this strong program, the devotees of sweet devotion are fully encouraged to reach God.]

 

[You said that My form is transferred to My duplicate. If My form is transferred to My duplicate, I would have become formless! It is not the transfer of My form. There is only similarity between My form and the form of My duplicate. You are not knowing even the basic logic. The reason for this is that you are not only covered by the ignorance required for your role by the will of unimaginable God, but also covered by the ignorance of the quality of Tamas of the demon Mahiṣī that possessed you. This is the double effect of the ignorance.]

 

[This double effect of ignorance (ignorance for the sake of role + ignorance due to the demon Mahiṣī) is resisted by your double divinity (divinity being the power of God Vishnu + divinity due to being the incarnation of God Shiva). Therefore, you are able to understand this spiritual knowledge preached by Me.]

 

[You are the root unimaginable power of the root unimaginable God called Parabrahman. You are called as Mūla Māyā or Mahā Māyā. You act in both ways:- i) You act as the causal power being one and the same Parabrahman. ii) You act as the effect power by manifesting yourself as this creation.]

 

[You are both the changeless possessor of power and the ever-changing power (being God Shiva and power of God Vishnu respectively). Hence, you are both the unimaginable possessor of power and the imaginable power. You are called as ‘dṛk’ or the seer being the possessor of power enjoying the entertainment from creation. You are also the seen creation being the power. You are the power of knowledge of correlation. You are also the power of materialization having weightage called as potential energy. You are also the power of work called as kinetic energy. The Veda says that the Divine Power or Parā Śakti is the awareness, matter and inert energy (parā'sya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate, svābhāvikī jñāna bala kriyā ca).]

 

[There are two items, which are the supporting substratum and the depending item. The substratum is the possessor of power and the depending item is the power. In this way, both are different items. At the same time, both these items are one item only. Hence, in one view, the power looks as different item and in another view, the power and the possessor of power are one and the same item only. The example for this concept is Sun and Sunlight, which are different from each other existing as two items. But, the condensed form of Sunlight is the Sun and hence, Sun and Sunlight are one and the same item. The Veda says that the possessor of power (Parabrahman) is solidified energy (power or śakti) and the world is modified energy (parā'sya śaktiḥ…- Veda). The Veda says that God is the condensed awareness based spiritual knowledge (Prajñāna ghanaḥ…- Veda). Awareness is also nervous energy, which is a form of inert energy since inert energy in the functioning nervous system is transformed into awareness.]

 

[To explain the example with more clarity:- The light with heat is the power. Sun is very highly concentrated quantity of this light-heat. The dilute light-heat in very less quantity is the Sunlight. In this way, there is lot of quantitative difference between the possessor of power (Sun) and the power (Sunlight). In view of this tremendous quantitative difference, the power (Sunlight) is called as Kārya Māyā Śakti or Kārya Brahma. Since the light-heat is common in both Sun and Sunlight, we can call Sun as Sunlight in qualitative sense. In view of this qualitative similarity, the Power (Sunlight) is called Kāraṇa Māyā Śakti or Kāraṇa Brahma. Therefore, Śakti (Power) and Brahman/Parabrahman (Possessor of Power) are used as alternative words. Kāraṇa Brahma is Kāraṇa Śakti and Kārya Brahma is Kārya Śakti.]

 

[The Sun (Brahman/Parabrahman) does not undergo any modification even though the Sunlight undergoes modification to become electricity when the Sunlight is trapped by the solar equipment. Here, the quantitative difference between Sun and Sunlight is to be considered. This means that the dilute Sunlight can be trapped and modified, but, the highly concentrated Sun can’t be trapped and modified by very less potent scientific system. Therefore, the unity in diversity and its reverse must be understood clearly in this explanation. Hence, Brahman or Parabrahman or Possessor of Power (Sun) can’t be modified into another item, whereas Shakti or Power (Sunlight) can be understood in both ways that she, in dilute form, is modified into another item called the world and at the same time, she, in concentrated form, is unmodifiable Brahman or Parabrahman.]

 

[O Darling! Therefore, everything is only Śakti or Power. Brahman or Parabrahman is only the highly concentrated state of Śakti or Power. In spite of this truth, you have limited yourself and confined to your dilute state only due to your non-egoistic submissiveness, which is the ultimate result of spiritual knowledge.]

 

[You are the first greatest power called Ādiparāśakti. You yourself appear as God Brahma, God Vishnu and God Shiva. You are their inherent powers called Sarasvati, Lakshmi and Mahā Kālī respectively. All the divine incarnations are your divine forms only.]

 

[You are in the role of My disciple and I am in the role of your preacher. You are hearing My preaching like this due to the manners followed by the roles. While playing a drama, such absurd things can happen, which are like the producer of drama may be acting in the role of a servant and the servant of the producer may be acting in the role of his master!]

 

Śrī Rādhā Devī Uvāca:-

[Shri Radha Devi spoke:-]

 

[My Lord! I understand that unimaginable God Himself is the unimaginable power. When the root substance is only one, how the second item, essentially different from the first item, has appeared? The first substance means Causal God/ Causal power (Kāraṇa Brahma / Kāraṇa Māyā Śakti) and the second substance is effective God/ effective power (Kārya Brahma / Kārya Māyā Śakti). How can there be a cause-effect relationship existing between God and world?]

 

[O Krishna! I could not recognize You due to the ignorance covering my mind. Now, I have attained self-realization. I am putting the above question for the sake of the world.]

 

Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān Uvāca:-

[Shri Krishna Bhagavān spoke:- ]

 

[O Goddess Radha! I am very happy about you for your present state. I know that you have put the above question for the welfare of souls in the creation. The same Brahma (God) in the school of Vedānta (philosophy of God) is called as Śakti (Power) in the school of Śākteya (philosophy of Power).]

 

[First, you must know the monism between Causal God and Causal Power. Also, you must know the monism between effective God and effective power. With the knowledge of this monism, you must proceed to dualism, which is mentioned later on. From the Causal God / Causal Power, the first effect or product that came out is Tejas (inert energy). This first product is called as effective God (Kārya Brahma) or effective power (Kārya Māyā Śakti). This is told in the Veda (Tat tejo'sṛjata).]

 

[This inert energy itself is the space as told in the Veda (Ātmana ākāśaḥ). This is called as vacuum or Śūnyam. Vacuum is very subtle energy and not absence of everything. This vacuum generates millions of galaxies. Space is subtle inert energy and hence, it is told in science that space bends along the boundary of an item. This space acts as medium for the electromagnetic radiations (Scientists believe that electromagnetic radiation does not need a medium and they can travel in vacuum. This is not correct because vacuum itself is subtle energy acting as medium.).]

 

[This inert energy becomes matter on condensation and also becomes awareness in the functioning brain-nervous system. With these three fundamental items called inert energy (Rajas), matter (Tamas) and awareness (Sattvam), the entire world is fully manifested. Hence, the inert energy is the first product of the Causal God/ Causal Power and this inert energy is also the first cause for the entire creation.]

 

[The Causal God/Power is unimaginable. The first product of this divine cause, which is subtle inert energy is imaginable. There is no example in this creation for the production of imaginable product from unimaginable cause because all the items in this creation are imaginable only. We can understand only the worldly logic existing in worldly items and we can’t understand the divine logic present in the actions of unimaginable God/Power. Hence, we must conclude that the production of imaginable inert energy (Kārya Māyā Śakti/ Kārya Brahma) from unimaginable God/Power (Kāraṇa Brahma/ Kāraṇa Māyā Śakti) that modifies into world called Kāryam or effect is also an unimaginable process. i) The unimaginable God/Power and ii) The process of production of inert energy (Kārya Brahma/ Kārya Māyā Śakti) from the unimaginable God/Power (Kāraṇa Brahma/ Kāraṇa Māyā Śakti) – both these are unimaginable. The only imaginable item is the imaginable final product called world along with its cause, which is the inert energy (Kārya Brahma/ Kārya Māyā Śakti).]

 

[There are two unimaginable items:- i) Causal God/ Causal Power, ii) The process of production of the first effective God/ effective power called inert energy (Tejaḥ) from Causal God/ Causal Power. There are two imaginable items:- i) The first product of creation of Causal God/ Causal Power, which is the inert energy (Tejaḥ), ii) The final product of the inert energy through modifications called as the world. The school of philosophy of God is the school of philosophy of Power. This means that Radha, the power is Krishna, the God.]

 

[The word ‘Māyā’ is used in authoritative sense in the meaning that it is wonderful since the root word ‘Maya’ means wonderful (Maya-vaicitrye). The word ‘wonderful’ means that the Causal God/ Causal Power is unimaginable. When there is something that is not understood by simple effort, we call it wonderful. When it is not understood by any effort permanently, it must be most wonderful. Some give the meaning of the word ‘Māyā’ by reversing its letters as ‘Yā mā’, which means ‘not existing’. But, this type of interpretation is not as authentic as the first type of the above given interpretation based on its root word. However, the meaning resulting from the second type of interpretation can also find its place because the final product called world including its cause, which is inert energy, did never exist before the creation of this world along with its material cause (inert energy). The inert energy and the world got existence only when the Causal God/ Causal Power gifted His/Its absolute reality to both inert energy and the world.]

 

[The Causal God/ Causal Power is unimaginable and omnipotent. This means that any impossible thing is possible for such unimaginable omnipotence, which results in saying that the Causal God/Power can do anything liked by Him/It. Moreover, He/It is also fond of entertaining with a new variety of things if bored with an old thing continuously. This is told in the Veda that God is bored with loneliness and aspired for dualism as the new variety (Ekākī na ramate, sa dvitīya maichhat—Veda). Both these concepts together conclude that He/It will do anything for the sake of new variety of entertainment.]

 

[Both these concepts (i. That Causal God/Power is omnipotent and ii. That Causal God/Power is fond of entertainment with new variety of items and actions) are controlled by a third concept, which is that the new variety of thing or action can’t be accepted by the Causal God/Power if such thing or action is not justified. The boundary of justice controls both the above said concepts. The reason is that God created this creation like an industrialist establishes his own industry. The discipline of the industry or creation to maintain balance and peace is the justice, which is created and established by God Himself. This means that justice is the final authority in controlling the actions of God, who Himself is the creator and protector of justice.]

 

[These three concepts understood properly can make any devotee to know the actions of God in the past, present and future. This means that we can know what God did and what God is doing and what God will do if we understand these three concepts, which are:- i) That Causal God/Power can do anything, ii) That Causal God/Power is bored with any continuous thing or action and wants to entertain with a new variety of things and actions and iii) That in spite of the above two concepts, every action of Causal God/Power is completely controlled by the justice that is created by Himself in order to balance His/Its own creation with eternal peace.]

 

[Like this, My life, which is the life of any human incarnation of God on this earth is always carried on. The divine sages and angels are constantly meditating upon Me with their firmly fixed eye-sights lacking even a single blink of eye! They are not examining Me as supervisors since I am the ultimate supervisor. They are seeing Me constantly following the devotional process of meditation on God. If there is even a tiny trace of blame on My character, they will collapse with tremendous depression. Apart from this, I have the consciousness of My own highest divine status.]
