GOD, AN ARTIST

Q&A with Sirshree

God is the artist of artists (Photo via Flickr)

Seeker: Why has God created so many human beings (Body-Mind-Mechanisms)?

Sirshree: Can you tell an artist to draw just one picture, and not more. An artist will draw different kinds of pictures and express himself. He will not be satisfied by drawing just one picture. God is the artist of artists. Just by creating few people how will he completely demonstrate and express himself?

Seeker: Why did God create this world? Why is he doing all this?

Sirshree: God is doing all this as a demonstration and expression of his Happiness (bliss). God and Happiness are one. The nature of God is happiness. These are not two different things. You cannot say that He is doing this for happiness and He is doing that because of His nature. Different things can be said about the nature of water. It flows. It is wet. It is transparent. It is cool. Similarly different things can be said about the nature of God. He is Happiness. He is silence (moun). He is creation, etc. God created this world because of His nature. Nobody would question an artist as to why has he drawn so many pictures! In the same way, God like an artist is doing all this to demonstrate His nature.
