The vedas acknowledge divine karma as the origin of all creation, preservation, and destruction. However, since God does not have desires, unlike humans, he is not constrained by them. In the first chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.6.1), we discover that karma is one of the three main causes of diversity, alongside name and form. The variety in names is a result of speech, and the variety in forms is a result of the eye, while the mind and body are the sources for the variety in actions. For every action, the body serves as the source, the controller, or the lord. Within the body, the mind, speech, breath, organs of action, and organs of perception are regarded as the primary deities who receive sustenance from the body and carry out their respective functions. Nevertheless, we cannot solely depend on them to combat the impurities and the malevolent forces that can infiltrate our body, as they are susceptible to evil and demonic influences, thoughts, desires, temptations,...
This blog is third part of realizing the true existence, the first blog is IGNORANCE? continued by BRAHMAN, please refer this two blogs first.
- Unchanging experience of easiness.

Jim Holt wrote a very fascinating book "Why does the universe exist?", he asked this question to each and every one across the world but he didn't ask this to a Vedantist.
All that we experience through consciousness is an object of consciousness, but consciousness is itself not a object. Even if the universe is destroyed the existence still continues but it cannot be experienced any more.
If we want to experience the real existence, we can take the example of a movie theater as in the screen on which the movie is displayed is apart from pictures displaying on it. Here the screen is the real existing object and the pictures displaying on it just comes and goes. So if we want to see the real existing screen we have to shut off the movie. This is the Yogic approach to experience the real existence.
We continuously miss the pure subject because it is our habit from life after life to experience objects.
Reality belongs to the easiness which we are, appearance borrows some of that reality from easiness and make this world.
This life is also a movie, only difference is an enlightened person has realized that he/she is the screen and the world is acting upon it and we think that we that we are a part of this movie.
There are three kinds of difference:-
- Difference between two different object.
- Difference between two things of the same type.
- Difference amongst the self.
But this three types of difference do not apply to the Pure Existence.
