    You know how you make a recipe out of different components, and it ends up kick ass, being different then it's components, but composed of them?

    Well, I like how God makes stuff inside people, how people don't know what is gonna come out of them until it does. Like Beethoven's Symphonies, great books, scriptures, farts, etc.

    i like to think that He delights to see what comes out of us to. i think our ability to be creative is a god-like quality.

    God already has eternal Ananda (bliss) - He is eternal Ananda. He isn't subject in any sense to anything we do.

    Yep! , its very cool to see how people can to their own amazement do so many amazing things, although some may fall into the false ego that it is them doing everything.

    Some may fall too into the delusion that it is God doing everything directly.

    And that would be a mistake to lose the human elements of life.

    Yes - but I meant more in the sense described in the Sankhya philosophy mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita that everything is carried out by Nature or Prakriti - a kind of executive power of the Divine. Purusha, who is master and Lord of Prakriti is seated within the heart as an impartial witness. This Purusha is said to be the true self behind the apparent ego.


    BG ch.3 vs 27 -28.
    'While the actions are being done entirely by the modes of Nature (gunas), he whose self is bewildered by egotism thinks that it is his 'I' which is doing them.

    But one who knows the true principles of the division of the modes and of works realizes that it is the modes which are acting and reacting on each other and is not caught in them by attachment.'
