so is disorder or chaos also a part of Krishna’s arrangement for nature because there are areas in science where chaos theory works and often people behave in unpredictable ways and this is so widespread that we normally say that Krishna is the source of order but is he also the source of disorder and chaos answer we could say it that way another way of looking at it is that what we consider disorder or chaos is also an order that we are not yet able to figure out so for example even in chaos theory which science uses at many advanced levels there also there are some kind of equations which behave in chaos theory situations also and so even in chaos there is predictability of the overall pattern although there may not be predictability about specific events within that overall pattern like in science we have probability theory and we have uncertainty principle even in that there is some amount of uncertainty but there is also adequate level of order by which you can make a principle about the uncertainty otherwise you could not even make a principle of the uncertainty so that means that the essential point is that order can be multi level and we human beings may be able to perceive order at one level at a particular stage in our life or a particular stage in our intellectual or spiritual evolution so for example while studying nature Newton perceived order at a particular level that’s how classical physics or Newtonian physics came up and as scientist kept studying nature more and more then they found that that sense of order did not work for very small objects or very large objects moving at the speed of light and then rather than assuming disorder they perceived to try to come up with some other level of order so we could say that there is in quantum physics also there is some kind of order but it is not the same kind of order that we see in linear the linear models of classical physics so I would say with respect to human emotions and moods and actions is there an order so for example one moment I feel calm and confident next moment I feel irritated or depressed now some people are just more emotional than others some people are more stoic than others where the emotions don’t go up and down so we could say the broad emotional patterns that people have are a result of their past karma but the specific emotions that they go through is there an order to that certainly it is difficult for us to figure out an order at the same time we human beings have innate need to make sense of things and that is why when we interact with people regularly we try to understand their personality and by that we can try to predict in this situation this person will behave like this and in this situation this person will behave like that we may sometimes be correct sometimes some people are good readers of others personalities then they can better predict other person’s behavior but the very nature of personality is that it is it is not law bound entirely law bound in terms of that cause x will necessarily lead to effect y that is what physics is all about if I hit an object with this force it will come back with this force now if I shout at another person will that person hear me or gently protest or shout back with equal volume or shout back with greater volume that we can say broadly speaking depends on a person’s nature but even when we know the person’s nature sometimes they may just they may be normally timid but sometimes they just feel I have had enough and they blast back sometimes they may be very arrogant but occasionally they may be in introspective mood and they may hear so when it comes to personality because free will comes into the picture so the way free will functions is often we could say arbitrary or disorderly or chaotic rather we could say more complimentary we could simply call it free so the nature of free will is that it is free that means it will work whichever way it sees fit and in fact one of the main arguments that atheists use to disprove or to challenge the idea of a personal controller of nature is that they say that people don’t behave in exactly the same repeatable patterns all the time because we are persons we behave in different ways at different times and because nature is so orderly it cannot be personal it cannot have a personal controller that means everyday I may speak the same sentence how are you when I see someone but each day I may speak it with slightly different inflection different emphasis based on my mood, different tone so now our understanding is that there is God has a personal aspect where his personality is very spontaneously manifested in the spiritual world but as the Parmatma he is a person but his personal aspect is not that much manifested it is more muted and so he works for our well being administering law rather than sharing love it’s like a judge is meant to not act according to emotion but according to principles of justice so because of the element of free will which is provided by Krishna we can say there is some disorderliness but by Krishna’s arrangement the free will and the event that happens in the world will be orchestrated for everyone’s well being and in that sense in a larger level there is order although at an immediate level we may perceive disorder
