Sri: Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama: Dear BhAgavatas, Pardon me if I am wrong, but adiyEn always thought that avApta samasta kAman meant that He is one who has all His desires fulfilled (or that He has no desires unfulfilled). If that is the case, the original question would be incorrectly phrased, as the question says that He is above desires. Perhaps desire in the sense that we understand it, is not the right word to use for Him. The answer might be that it is His wish to have a leela and His wish is fulfilled. I look to the bhAgavatas to correct my rambling. adiyEn madhurakavi dAsan TCA Venkatesan --- Narender Reddy <reddynp@xxxx> wrote: > Dear Bhagavatas: > The point raised, I believe, is that God has no need to > "desire". > (avaapta samasta kaama:).Why should he "desire" anything > at all?. > Does this not amount to God's deriving a sadistic > pleasure in making > jeevas to play a role and seek to torment them for such > role > if does not fit into his regimen (Sastras) > This has not been answered. > Can anyone address this specific question? > Moderator > > ... __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
