RE:DEAR rajmohan kurup: My answer for your question
by Rajmohan Kurup on Sep 26, 2007 03:02 AM

Dear Sridhar,

Thank you for your reply. But I think you missed the central point I made earlier. Why does God have to come under the control of Maya? Please try to understand - God or Brahman means the greatest or the Supreme. Maya, Shaitan or illusion cannot overpower Brahman and put Him in illusion. If that were to happen then the very word God would not have any meaning.
Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, chapter 15, verse 7 that "mamaivmsha jiva loke...... meaning, " The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind." Here Krishna uses the word, "sanatana" which means eternal. So the living entities struggling in this world with the five senses and mind are God's parts and parcels, but eternally (sanatana) different from Him. Krishna does not say that the living entities merge into Him at any time. He confirms this earlier also in the Gita, chapter 2, text 12 in the verse when He tells Arjuna,
"na tv evaham jatu nasham
na tvam neme janadipah
na chaiva na bhavishyamah
sarve vayam atah param" which reads,
"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be."
