Questions-11

These questions are not related to Puraan, they are just for curiosity sake since all Puraan deal with the Creation.

(1) Why are we at all here? Why did we come here on this earth in the first instance? I am not talking about our other births but the first birth or first life when we our record was clean - no Paap or no Punya or no Karm. Why did we born?

(2) If we are same as God (according to A-Dwait Vaad) then who should we worship, we are already Brahm?

(3) If we take the birth to bear the results of our past Karm, then what is the function of Hell and Heaven? And why should we go there? What do we do there? On the other side if we go to Heaven and Hell to bear the fruits of our Karm, then why do we born here? We should bear the fruits of our Karm at one place only - either in Heaven and Hell, or here on Prithvi. Why do we have to suffer or enjoy at two places? What is the function of Hell and Heaven which are above Prithvi Lok.

(4) In the reference of my question No 3, I wish to ask one question more - here I wish to refer Krishn's incident, when He went to Yam Lok to bring His Guru's son back, Yam said - "How do I recognize him? We do not get bodies here, we get only souls." Krishn said - "I do not know anything, I want my Guru's son back." Then Yam gave Him His Guru's son back.

With this reference, Yam gets only souls, not bodies and according Geetaa and our other scriptures soul has no feelings, nor it can be afflicted nor it can be pleased, nor it can be cut or dried or burned or wetted etc etc. Only body feels everything - all feelings, emotions, afflictions, pleasures etc, all are subjects of our body only. Then how the soul suffers in Hell and enjoys pleasures in Heaven? Certainly our body is not there to feel all those things.
