You can deny existence of God, but you cannot deny existence of yourself. No matter where you are, birth or rebirth, gross world, dream world or in deep slumber ( I had a great nights sleep. Felt wonderful) , you cannot deny your existence.
Even in the process it rebirth , you cannot deny your existence.
If only you looked back and see What gives you the thought of ego or self , you will agree to a higher self. That higher self is God or you.
As Vivekananda said the experience of Samadhi is identical. Whether you believe in God or are a non believer.
That higher self does not have rebirth. So there is no reincarnation. By forgetting the higher self the dream ego continues its creation of different identity
In the final run all opposites have the same meaning
This ends all conflicts. That is true non violence.
Otherwise convicts always exists in the mind. Should I eat Chinese or Indian food? Isn’t that a conflict?
One must establish in non violence. But all conflicting thoughts must end.
Love and hate – conflicting thoughts. I like this person. I don’t like this person. Conflicting thoughts in the mind which sees opposites. Dvaita. Going beyond it is advaita. That is the highest
So a gyana – a person of wisdom has love and indifference at the same time. Remember I said , the opposites merge ? So when a gyani meets someone he has love for person. Love knowing the other person because he sees that the divine is deep within the other person too. But at the same time is indifferent to the other person, letting the other person act out in whatever way the other person wants to do.
Thus saying God gave free will is an expression of love
