________________ creates this world, again out of his own volition because he has compassion for all the creatures of this world? Now if God does crention just for fun then he 18 like a child who plays in sand in creating his cast les - so God, like a child becomes one with Likes (213 ). Now one who is with desire ( 21 ) can never be God, So it cannot be believed that God creates this world just for his own fun out of his own volition. Now if he has created this world out of compassion for all the creatures of this world, surely he would make all the Jivas (beings) of this world happy? But in this world there are bodily and mental pains and anxieties ( 2: 205 ), there is poverty, because of birth in hell and other places which is full of pain Conflict ( 21 ) so many Jivas lend a life full of fear .... than How can God be called compassionate? Hence one carnot accept that out of compassion he has created this world. Now if you say that God relies on the activities of men and depending on whether the are good or bad - accordingly he gives happiness and joy (35201 ) or pains and anxieties (2:27 ).. then sich a God, like us, is not independent. Ane he who is not independent - how can he called God! Secondly, as per your own statement the various odd occurings in this world depend upon the Karpe of the person concerned. Then what is the necessity in bringing God in between?
