Hello Swami, beautiful kashmiri rose, did Brahma have a desire not to be worshipped and for his flower not to be known in worship!
Just Brahma and his faithful flower and a universe of Maya.
Is this what Lord Siva gave to Brahma for his work?🤗😺🌼

Only then one will be inclined to become Brahman Atman and leave this human form.

The paradox i was thinking about: Gita’s main narrative is Lord Krishna persuading the reluctant Pandava prince Arjun to do his duty and fight the just war against his kin. Yet cleary in Gita there is no free will
(Bhagavad Gita 3.27 All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer).
Then why is Krisna trying to persuade Arjuna if there is no free will? The conclusion i came to is based in this
(Bhagavad Gita 18.59 If, motivated by pride, you think, “I shall not fight, ” your decision will be in vain. Your own nature will compel you to fight.)

So Krisna is literally NOT trying to affect the actions of Arjuna (they are pre-determined). He is trying to affect his perception, to make him accept what is. From this flows: 0 freewill in physical, but 100 percent free will in consciousness-mind complex. You can only think differently (accept, second arrow metaphor). Thus, consciousness-mind complex does not affect the physical reality, only experiences it.

Gods Shiva Vishnu Devi Hanuman are those who have already realised themselves as Brahman/Atman and then they are manifesting their divine powers reality in real life by traveling flying in sky prakat antardhan taking whatever body form we want like by sankalp will power
Ashta siddhis and nava nidhis.
Can we also attain similar powers once we realise ourselves as Brahman??!
Only then one will be inclined to become Brahman Atman and leave this human form.
