Why This World? contd.

All of us put together is, let us assume, ‘Iswara’. So the question is being asked, the research is being done, by the fragment of the same Eternal Energy. The question stems from the minute knowledge you have absorbed from the magnificent Source.

You cannot fathom the depths of an ocean with a contraption made of salt; the salt will dissolve in the water. So too, those who found the answer to this question, never returned to reveal the truth — because they melted into blissful oneness with the Supreme Lord, the Ocean of Compassion.

In the literal sense, the answer can be this: Dhruva did not get the love he sought from his father. Narada Maharishi advised him, “There is an Eternal Father. You concentrate on Him and you will be in perennial bliss. Do not bother about your perishable father.” So apparently Dhruva meditated constantly on the Ultimate Source called Narayana and Narayana blessed him to be a star in the cosmos, to commemorate Dhruva’s unstinted faith.

Be with the world, but in the mind be without it
