As a great scholar Mullah asked in such way Goracanda not really surprised by that. Because he was so merciful and vastly learned about the Vedas. He always gives as best answer as possible to make Mullah to understand about Sanatana-Dharma. Also he explains in a simplest way that there is not possible way that Satan can exist. As you know that there few religions out there that always claims God created a Satan to make the living entities to bound in this material, but in reality the concept is very different. We’ll discuss this in another article. Now Goracanda explains for Mullah’s question.
Mullah :( Isn’t meditating on a form of the Lord within One’s mind superior to imaging a form with the help of the material elements?)
Now the Goracanda says to Mullah that both are one and the same. The mind follows matter, and whatever it thinks of is also material. We may say that brahma (god or formless god) is all pervading, but how can our minds actually conceive of this? We will forced to think of it in terms of the all –pervading of the sky. How can the mind go beyond this consideration? Our conception of brahma is therefore constrained by the limitation of material space.
If one says,” I am meditating on brahma,” the experience of brahma will be limited by material time, for it fades when one’s meditation is concluded. How can the mind’s meditation grasp an object that is above matter when it is conditioned by time and space, which are material phenomena? One may reject the idea that the form of the Deity can consist of material elements such as earth and water, and one can imagine that Isvara (Krishna or Bhagavan) is situated in the direction or space; still, this is all bhuta-puja, worship of matter.
No material object can support one’s attainment of the transcendental goal. The only thing that facilitates this is the awakening of the inclination to words Isvara or God. This inclination is inherent with in the jivatmas, and is gradually strengthened and converted into bhakti(devotion) when one utters the name of God, recites His pastimes, and receive inspiration from beholding the Deity (sri vigraha). The Lord’s spiritual form can be experienced only by pure bhakti, not by janana and karma.
Mullah: Matter is distinct from God. I think that it is better not to worship material objects, because it is said that Satan introduced the worship of matter to keep living entities bound in this material world.
Goracanda: God is one without a second, and He has no rival or enemy. Everything in this world is created by Him and is under His control. Therefore, He can be satisfied with any object when it is used in His worship. There is no object in this world one can arouse His malice, for He is all-auspicious. Even if a person such as Satan exist, he is no more then a special jivas (living entity) under the control of God. And he has no power to do anything that is opposed to God’s will. However, in my opinion it is not possible for such a monstrous living entity to exist. No activity can take place that is contrary to the will of Bhagavan, nor is any living entity independent of the lord.
From this above statement you can understand that there is no possibility of existence of Satan .what other religious people say about Satan. If you’re spiritually elevated you would ask-what is the origin of sin, if there is no Satan in this world. But now Goracanda explains very precisely for you and Mullah about origination of sin? The next article starts as follows: How human being implicated with sin?-from the great Vedas. (Hari bol)
