God is Beyond Desire - 05.20.10

Student Question: In the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, he says that God has no desire, no will. What did he mean by that?
“Just that: God is beyond desire,” echoes Shunyamurti, the founder of the Sat Yoga Institute in Costa Rica. “But, a dream of this cosmos forms in God’s Mind, in the most pristine state where there doesn’t need to be desire because everything is already fulfilled.” And because God’s beauty is infinite, the characters in His dream will “eventually, because they have free will, choose to desire certain things and to create preferences and gradually move out of the state of unity into that of duality. And then slowly, slowly over generations, suffering, ego appears in the world. And then, when it has reached its most degraded form, then the Light has to return and cleanse everything and bring it back to the starting point of the highest purity for the next cycle of time.” Recorded on the evening of Thursday, May 20, 2010.
