Re: Dvividha in Srimad Bhagavatam

Please accept my namaskarams first.

I understand your friend's feelings. Lord's work is
very enigmatic and not to be grasped by people like
us. After all whoever dies by Lord's hand definitely
reached salvation. Going by that, Dwivida must have
reached lord's abode for sure. Dwivida was creating
lot of trouble and that is when Bhagwan had to kill
him. All of us are in different stages of spiritual
evolution and to take 'Saranagathi' without doubt one
needs ultimate faith and high degree of evolution. I
am very far from it. But we should love god though he
may put us through some tests "valaruthu sudinum
malatha kathal kondan maurthuvan paal" can be the
attitude.

On another issue I got confused "Jaya and Vijaya" came
back to earth as asuras - from Nithya vibuthi where is
fall? After lot of introspection I felt it is all
Lord's leela and every artiste plays the script given
by the director. That convinced me as a true devotee
never falls.

When a devotee gets confused he should take total
surrender to Lord Krishna. Mind is a very powerful
distractor and it provides enough logic to rebel with
faith.  Know that Mind is controlled by austerities
and guru seva. 

A person who is trying to reason out may do better by
reading upanishads and Gita rather than puraanas.

BTW, these are the prescriptions I try for myself and
found of some use.  


warm regards,
Balaji S.
