simultenaous creation

Imported quote 14510

The Supreme Lord is the supreme friend of everyone; however, no one can take advantage of the supreme friend's instructions while making his own plans to become happy and entangling himself in the modes of material nature. When there is creation, the living entities take on different forms according to past desires. This means that all the species or forms of life are simultaneously created. Darwin's theory stating that no human being existed from the beginning but that humans evolved after many, many years is simply a nonsensical theory. From Vedic literature we find that the first creature within the universe is Lord Brahma. Being the most intelligent personality, Lord Brahma could take charge of creating all the variety found within this material world. (More...)

Svarūpa Damodara: That still is not the answer. What we want is, at the time of creation of the material world, when all the species, 8,400,000 species... (More...)

Svarūpa Damodara: ...they are all simultaneously manifested, just at once? (More...)

Prabhupada: Yes, yes. They have not manifested yes. Because it was like sleeping. When there is no creation and..., there is sleeping stage. Just like in the sleeping stage, even at the present moment, at night, the dog is sleeping, the bird is sleeping, the man is sleeping, the tiger is... Everyone is sleeping at night. But in the morning, as soon as they awake, they understand, "I am tiger," "I am dog," "I am man," "I am this," "I am that." That's all. Everyone remembers that "I have to do this. I have to do that. I have to go there. I have to bring money from there." All duties come immediately. So all these living creatures who are sleeping at night, but when there is morning, they again become the same. That is creation. (More...)

Rūpanuga: But when Brahma creates, does he first of all create the aquatics, then the plants? (More...)

Rūpanuga: No, everything is at once. There's no gradual, it is all immediate. (More...)

Prabhupada: There is a process, from aquatics to this, this, this, this, but when there is creation, all of them come at once. (More...)

Rūpanuga: So that process is transmigration of the soul. (More...)

Prabhupada: So in the last creation, if somebody could not come to the human form of body, now again he will be able to come. Therefore the creation is there. Another chance is given. (More...)

Rūpanuga: Yes. Otherwise there would be no chance. (More...)

Rūpanuga: So everything is... All the different species are created again, simultaneously. (More...)

Prabhupada: That is... He died with that mentality. It is there. Just like we go to sleep, but all your mental activities are reserved. In the morning again you begin. (More...)

Madhava: Prabhupada, you say that the living entity, he is thinking about a particular kind of body and a particular activity... (More...)

Prabhupada: Not particular body-particular desire. And according to the desire, Krsna is giving him facility through the material machine to give him a particular type of body. Just like one man is thinking of eating anything nonsense. So Krsna says that "You give him this body of hog. He can eat even stool." That's all. You want to be naked, nudie? So Krsna gives him, "So he is very much anxious to become nudie. Make him a tree. Stand up for five thousand years naked." This is going on. (More...)
