wisdom's mine

Thought for the day


When in continuous thoughts of God, there is no body consciousness. Prema becomes our body. 


From the book Wisdom's Mine

 

Q. God as avatar has shown ideal roles for man. The perfect brother, father, etc... In the Treta yuga, as Sri Rama  He came to establish dharma and so killed all the demons. Why then when He came as Sri Krishna did He have to kill demons again?

 

A. Rama came to destroy the demons but did not kill all of them. He left Vibhishana ruling in Sri Lanka. So in the Dwapara Yuga he came to kill demons and also to kill those who had become demonic like Kamsa, Jarasanda and Sisupala. This shows that though the bodies had perished the demonic feelings were still roaming in space. These feelings are now entering those who are born in kali yuga. Swami has said that now in this present age there are evil qualities in everyone. Therefore the task of this avatar is not destruction but transformation through prema.
