1. Brahman is the Hindu god of ideal life. It is our ideal life in a highly condensed form.
2. It is the direction in which all Hindus should proceed.
3. It is the Hindu god that unites all activities of life, all Hindu gods and all Hindus.
4. It is the one and only god that is based on facts. It is thus the only god compatible with science.
Brahman can't make our life ideal. However, if we somehow make our life ideal then Brahman would oppose any deterioration of our ideal life.
THE TWO ASPECTS OF BRAHMAN:
1. Saguna Brahman - the facilitating force of life. Makes perception crystal clear and activities 100% precise and 100% efficient.
2. Nirguna Brahman - the retarding force of life. Abolishes all perceptions, feelings and movements and makes rest 100% efficient.
Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman never co exist. This ensure absolute separation of activity and rest, making both of them 100% efficient.
THE THREE DIMENSIONS OF BRAHMAN:
1. DIMENSION OF GODS/ VERTICAL DIMENSION:
Brahman is made of seven gods.
They are,
1. Indra - god of dreaming
2. Shakti - god of illusion
3. Brahma - god of creativity
4. Vishnu - god of stabilization
5. Shiva - god of determination
6. Shani - god of status alteration
7. Yama - god of compulsion
Vishnu, the central god, is the default Hindu god (Nara - man, Ayana - dwelling place).
Thus, there are three pairs of antagonistic gods with Vishnu in the middle. Indra opposing actions to the maximum and Yama facilitating actions to the maximum.
In all these god activity and rest always co exist. This makes these gods less efficient and less reliable than Brahman.
Brahman ensures that all the seven gods play equal role for our wellbeing.
2. ANTERIOR POSTERIOR DIMENSION/ THE DIMENSION OF TIME:
1. Brahmana/ Eternal time
2. Kshatriya/ Natural time
3. Vaishya/ Virtual time
4. Shudra/ Transient time
3. DIMENSION OF VARNAS/ LATERAL DIMENSION:
1. Brahmana Varna - all activities are linked and have the same status
2. Kshatriya Varna - all activities between an upper and a lower limit
3. Vaishya Varna - all activities with a lower limit but no upper limit
4. Shudra Varna - all activities de linked, and each with a different status.
FUNCTION OF BRAHMAN:
Under chaotic conditions Brahman makes us have the Shudra Varna and transient time. It makes us use Yama for activity and Indra for rest.
As things become better it makes us use higher Varnas and more central gods.
Thus, there would be a smooth transition from worst to best life.
Thus,
1. Brahman unites all the activities of our life, all Hindu gods and all Hindus
2. It enables us to use all options available and to live life to the fullest
3. It makes our thinking and actions most efficient and reliable
4. It gives the right direction to the Hindu life
5. It makes us the master of our fate
