Hi everyone
After a long abscence, I'm back. Can anyone please help me understand the topics below.
My questions are: Did "God" directly or indirectly cause this material world to exist? Or did his laws as a subset of his energies cause for it to exist?
Does he control the material world directly or indirectly?
If he directly caused the existence of the material world, is it logical to say that he directly involved himself with the modes of the material nature (good, ignorance, passion) ?
Or if he indirectly controls it is he aloof from the goingons in the material world?
I am a Gaudiya Vaishnava so maybe I have phrased my questions in the context of a personal God, still I would really appreciate if members will give their take on these topisc based on the teachings that they follow.
Thanks a lot
