Thank you. Question from Jugal Prabhu.
Why didn’t Brahmaji see Nautir Dham in the spiritual world as is described in the Brahma Samhita? Answer, whenever the lord gives any vision to a particular devotee, that vision is not necessarily exhaustive describing everything in the spiritual world because the spiritual world is practically speaking much much bigger than the material world and it is for all purposes from our perspective, infinite and nobody can get a complete vision of the spiritual world and the lord has his own sweet will and his plan according to which he gives his visions to different devotees. So now from the context of the Brahma Samhita we see that this is the time when Brahmaji offers these prayers and he is in the process of beginning the work of creation. So at such a situation the primary focus of Brahmaji, of the lord is to inspire Brahmaji with a vision which will tell him what is the ultimate goal towards which the souls in this world are to be geared.
That is the spiritual world, that is where they are supposed to be oriented towards and then this is your working arena. This material world which you have to create is meant to act as an arena where the souls can become purified and reformed and of course we need to understand that these things can happen differently at different times. Scriptures are in one sense snapshots of peaks of conscious attainments of attainments in consciousness that means that the scriptures gives particular visions that particular devotees had at particular times.
So these snapshots are meant to inspire us but the same narrative can happen differently in different times. The lord can give different visions to different devotees and the same person or same post Brahmaji’s post the lord can give different visions to different personalities for performing as Brahma in different universes. In fact there are some differences in the accounts which are given in the Bhagavatam of the creation and Srila Prabhupada explains that these are because they are mentioning different kalpas, different life types of Brahma or different days of Brahma.
So therefore all that Brahmasamhita refers to when it is describing the vision that Brahmaji got is how actually the spiritual world is the highest abode and how from this world one can go back to the spiritual world which is one’s abode. So that was the functional vision that was given to Brahmaji so that he could do his role as a creator in an inspired way with an understanding of the ultimate purpose for which it was meant.
