Awareness is most precious form of cosmic energy but it has got its own demerits

The awareness is the most subtle form of cosmic energy and is given ultimate value. It is more valuable than any inert form of inert cosmic energy. Awareness is most precious form of cosmic energy. This is the unique merit of awareness. Due to this the three Acharyas preferred awareness to be the best medium of God. But awareness has its own defects. Awareness is not an independent entity like the inert cosmic energy. It is a special work form of the inert energy. It is the consequence or the result or the product of inert energy in association with the functioning machine called as nervous system. It is a specific product of the basic inert cosmic energy. The other specific products of the basic inert cosmic energy are light, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, etc., The basic inert cosmic energy is ‘Mula Maya’, which is the basic material of this Universe. The above consequent forms of Energy are ‘Maha Maya’. Awareness is one of the daughters of ‘Mula Maya’. When you say that God wishes or thinks, it really means that the unimaginable God wishes or thinks.

The unimaginable God (Para Brahman) need not be awareness to wish or think. He is the source of the entire Universe, which constitutes several entities and works or qualities. Awareness is an entity and wishing or thinking is a specific work or quality. Even the association of an entity with a specific work or quality is also due to God. God can dissociate any entity from its associated quality or work. Before God, the fire could not burn even a dry blade of grass. This event is said in Veda. The Omni-potent God can do anything and hence God wished to create this world. Due to wish, you need not conclude God as awareness applying the worldly logic, which fails in Him. A common man may not understand this due to the failure of worldly logic, because his mind is always trained in the worldly logic. For the sake of such ordinary people, the three Acharyas have selected the mediated God (God embedded in awareness) and described God as the awareness. One should be careful that a specific bit of awareness charged by God only can be treated as God like a specific wire electrified is treated as electricity. The selfish human beings have extrapolated this and treated every bit of awareness as God. This is wrong because every wire cannot be treated as electricity. Only in a specific electric wire, the wire is electricity and the electricity is wire. This equation fails if it leaves that specific wire.
