Every thing in this world is good – since God created it
After attaining God through knowledge, - practice is the next step,
Ignorance of all things other than God – is essential for concentration.
Veda says that OAM is bow, soul is arrow, - God is the target for you,
Here the arrow is not the target, - hence the soul is not God at all.
First knowledge of bow, arrow and – target is necessary and then
Action of applying arrow on bow – and diversion from sides is action,
Finally fixation of eye on target is – achieved by the ignorance of
All other side items only and such – ignorance is final concentration.
Thus, ignorance or rigidity is – created by God for good purpose only.
When it is used in proper place, - it becomes good and hence,
Every thing in this world is good – since God created it.
Anything becomes bad when – it is used for other purpose than
The purpose for which God created it, - even in Pravrutti, it is needed.

When a friend hurts you and repents, - you have to forget the past,
Here ignorance of past is needed, - devotees are born from Shiva only.
Radha and Hanuman were rigid devotees, - even Gopikas were also
Followers of Shiva as sages in – past birth with pasted hair and skin,
All their physical nature indicates Shiva, - hence Ramanuja told that
Shiva is the king of devotees, - it is unfortunate that Vaishnava devotees
Criticize Shiva, are they not demons – like Hiranyakashipu who criticized
Vishnu? When Uddhava came and–started preaching Advaita philosophy,
Gopikas told that there is no space – in their minds other than Krishna.

They were rigid to learn anything – other than their Krishna, who was
Their contemporary human incarnation, - similarly Hanuman was rigid
In His firm faith on Rama in spite of – various severe tests of Rama.
God born as Master is Vishnu, - same God born as devotee is Shiva.
