Almighty conceived thus ; "Let One Become Many" - That is the Origin of Creation; Essence in Illusion; a Play of the Almighty! Then how rich would it be if the 'Many ' forms emerge with diversity instead of monotony of uniform nature. Hence nature is ruled by the balancing principle of 'Diversity'. Diverse flora and fauna unique and distinguished in their own way carved out by nature - A pageantry of colours, fragrances, attributes!
Ultimately, the one who perceives the principle of 'oneness' in all diverse forms is at peace with the supreme knowledge gained about the Almighty's Play of Illusion. The way Annamachaya asks, rather 'naively', the Almighty about the diversity in Creation and becomes contented on realization of the Supreme Truth, is well described in the sankeertana, "Deva Ni Pakshapatamo Tirige Lokula Velito"........
'O My Lord! It is incomprehensible for me about the diversities manifest in this Creation. Is it because of Your partiality? Or is it on account of the varied fates (ordained by their karma phalas of last and present births) differing from individual to individual? When You are in the hearts of all beings in equal measure (samam sarveshu bhuteshu tishtantam visweswaram - Gita), why so many disparities in individual lives?
'The length of Day and length of Night are same to all of us without discrimination. Then why there are so many differences in pleasures and pains experienced by the individuals? The births and 'prana' (vital force) are same for all beings. Then why there are disparities in experiencing the 'papa punya'-s (pious and sinful deeds)?
'Matter to listen is same and hearing capacity is same. Then why so many abysmal variations in the sects and faiths? Our visions (eye sight) are same; our thirst and appetite are same; Then why there is so much divergence in our 'guna'-s (individual attributes and traits)?
'O My Lord! You are dwelling in all our hearts in equal measure without discrimination. Then why so many worries, misfortunes and difficulties? Is it not strange? In awareness of Your Play, however, I have taken refuge in You and am complacent and contented about my life'..........
Thus we start off with an innocent inquiry about awesome diversity in this Creation and realize the 'hand behind ' (The Master Puppeteer!- DP of 11.01.2016) in this stage show with multiple role players. Understanding the 'Theme' is understanding the 'Supreme' !
