"This gigantic manifestation of the phenomenal material world as a whole is the personal body of the Absolute Truth, wherein the universal resultant past, present and future of material time is experienced. The gigantic universal form of the Personality of Godhead, within the body of the universal shell, which is covered by seven-fold material elements, is the subject for the virat conception.

Persons who have realized it have studied that the planets known as Patala constitute the bottoms of the feet of the universal Lord, and the heels and the toes are the Rasatala planets. The ankles are the Mahatala planets, and His shanks constitute the Talatala planets. The knees of the universal form are the planetary system of the name Sutala, and the two thighs are the Vitala and Atala planetary systems. The hips are Mahitala, and outer space is the depression of His navel. The chest of the Original Personality of the gigantic form is the luminary planetary system, His neck is the Mahar planets,, His mouth is the Janas planets, and His forehead is the Tapas planetary system. The topmost planetary system, known as Satyaloka, is the head of He who has one thousand heads. His arms are the demigods headed by Indra, the ten directional sides are His ears, and physical sound is His sense of hearing. His nostrils are the two Asvini-kumaras, and material fragrance is His sense of smell. His mouth is blazing fire.

The sphere of outer space constitutes His eyepits, and the eye-ball is the sun as the power of seeing. His eyelids are both the day and night, and in the movements of His eyebrows, the Brahma and similar supreme personalities reside. His palate is the director of water, Varuna, and the juice or essence of everything is His tongue.

The art of affection is His set of teeth, and the most alluring illusory material energy is His smile. This great ocean of material creation is but the casting of His glance over us... The ocean is His waist, and the hills and mountains are the stacks of His bones... the rivers are the veins of the gigantic body, the trees are the hairs of His body, and the omnipotent air is His breath. The passing ages are His movements, and His activities are the reactions of the three modes of material nature... The clouds which carry water are the hairs on His head, the termination of days and nights are His dress, and the supreme cause of material creation is His intelligence. His mind is the moon, the reservoir of all changes...

I have thus explained to you the gross material gigantic conception of the Personality of Godhead. One who seriously desires liberation concentrates his mind on this form of the Lord, because there is nothing more than this in the material world."

@davef21370 God is all these things that your saying. Is it hard to understand that God is the cause of pain. Pain is life, without pain there is no pleasure. Pain at some point may even be looked at like the greatest gift of god. For he has given us an exercise machine to use, our brain to seek good, so our conciousness does not atrophy.

@davef21370

It is explained in the srimad bagavatham, that in the 4th age religion would be mostly corrupted and used as a tool of oppression and to create a divide amongst the people of the world. The spiritual path is mostly a lonely one in this age.

Its amusing, it seems like the typical response that atheists give when it comes to speaking against the established corrupted religions...lols, you have NO idea what Vedic literature is all about. Such rascal. Educate yourself, then argue.

@davef21370

In the Vedas it is explained that in the Kali-Yuga, passion and ignorance are rampant and these 2 modes support illnesses, untimely deaths and just misery overall, that is the quality of the 4th age.

Also, for the record, God never said that material creation was a walk in the park. In actuality he spoke against us coming/falling here, because suffering is inevitable in material existence. But like any loving father, he gave in to his nagging children and did not intervene.

[scivanpoon]

As above so below, god is everywhere, we live in god, god is inside each of us. Each soul has same quality of the universal mind, only difference in degree. We are part of the great creator.

[fallenavatar09]

Bhagavad gita Chap 10 text 8

I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts

@davef21370 LOL WE are not following the way he wants us to live, NOT WAGING WAR, not eating other living breathing beings (plants are ok :P). I simply have to say to you that when you let that rage go he will come to you
