How God has mastered over Prakrithi and Souls when He has not created them?
V: This is a very entertaining question indeed! This is like asking a school teacher [controlling students] on the ground that how could you control the students when they are not born to you? When Prakrithi is insensate and the soul is finite in knowledge it is natural therefore that omniscient God to lord over them. As students are under the control of teacher for their own welfare, the souls are the control of God for their own benefit. The souls with the help of God’s given Vedas achieve their spiritual and physical excellence. Further, there is no question of exercising authority. God, Prakrithi and Soul are all Anadi i.e. beginning less. Because of God’s all-superiority and all-seniority He has a hold over Soul and Prakrithi since time immemorial. The God’s authority is also Anadi, i.e. beginning less.
