दैत्य
शक्ति or
Satan has a play in this whole process. Godly powers and ungodly
powers keep playing using Human as medium. After saying this my
friend told me one secret about this cosmos. He told me that Satan
always calls that he is God and he keeps on fooling humans using its
biases. Shown here is Tantrik image of Mothar God.
I
asked him why Mother God or its Rakshas forces need meat as its food?
He
told me that Mother God is often depicted as a woman but really
speaking there is nothing like a woman in it. Artists portrait it as
a woman with woman's body characteristics vividly shown it them.
Mother God is called so because it is giving birth to everything in
this universe. However, we forget to note that along with giving
birth to everything it also destroys everything it has created. That
means Mother God is a combination of both birth and death. He showed
me a depiction of the Mother God and in that it had a big face with
two eyes and a nose and below nose was an open mouth. There were no
other parts of the body as of a human but immediately under the face
there were two feet. He explained to me that Mother god is creating
universe through its two feet and destroys it by devouring the
creations by its mouth. Two palms are shown to show that it takes and
gives. This is the most accurate depiction of the Mother God or
Mother Nature if one wants to depict it. In this way creating and
destroying goes on and that keeps the world working. After showing me
this, my friend explained to me that destroying is as important as
creating if the universe is to keep working smoothly. Destroying
means death and killing. If there is no death there will not be any
new creation. He told me killing an animal to do offering to Mother
God is important due to this reality. However, this death or kill of
an animal should be devoid of any passion such as pain or pleasure.
If killing is done to appreciate this universal process there is
nothing wrong but if these passions are involved in any way then that
killing does not represent universal process. Because Nature's
process of birth and death is devoid of any passion of pain and
pleasure. Therefore, if killing is done either in front of the Mother
God or elsewhere without any passions then that killing Rakshas
accept as offering. Without killing even if meat is purchased and
served as offering after purification that also implies that the
devotee has honored the universal process of creation and
destruction. Mother God is appropriately represented only by this
acceptance of creation and destruction. If only creation is accepted
that can cause imbalance in the functioning of this Universe. He told
me creating this imbalance is the principle motive of Satan. Human is
expected to represent balance and oppose imbalance. Process of
purification is essential in that case because by that any passion
involved in that killing is removed and it becomes suitable for
offering. If a devotee offers vegetables there is no killing and so
that does not represent the universal process and so Rakshas does not
accept that offering and it goes waste. This is the reason why people
of Satan (दैत्य
शक्ति)
insist
to promote only creation and oppose destruction. My friend told me
philosophy of nonviolence is designed by people of Satan to create
this imbalance. You should understand that this universe works with
violence and not peace, even creation is supported by violence. It is
definitely an apparent paradox but that is the reality and Shakta
insist to be with this reality.
I
asked why in that case Vedic practice does not accept sacrifice? On
my this question my friend began to laugh and he reminded me that
during Vedas cow was offered onto the alter in fire worship of Vedic
Aryans. Brahmans were sacrificing cow as the best sacrificial animal
during those days but only as Jainism castrated Brahmanism during the
period of Adi Sankar and Brahmans accepted subordinate position with
regards to Jainism that they stopped giving offerings of meat to
their deities. In the principal scripture of Brahmanism "Manusmruti"
cow is shown to be the best sacrificial animal among other animals
and birds. See Manusmruti 3:268-274. Actually ever since this
discrepancy continues creating confusion in the minds of lesser
intelligent knowledgeable people. This subject continues in next post.
