Cosmic Functions of Trinity

As per ancient Hindu mythology the God has three roles as a Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer. Scientific temperament votes that spiritual and material energy in the form of souls and matter didn’t suddenly appeared out of nothing.

According to the First Law of Thermodynamics “Energy can’t simply be either created nor destroyed”. Matter itself is a form of condensed energy. Similarly souls are the conscious points of energy and thus can’t also be destroyed and thus eternal. The Second Law proves up that energy, when in use, moves from a potential state, in which energy is available, to a spent state in which it is no longer available.

Putting both laws together we have what appears to be a system in which the basic components have neither beginning nor end. They move towards a state of energy fatigue, randomness or entropy. If time were linear and there were no external intervention, then over an unimaginably long period of time the universe would just fizzle out.

Keeping this hypothesis in mind for both the souls and the elements of matter, there is one supreme energy source which is external to the process of entropy which is unaffected by the process and thereby retains its original potency or power. When things reach at a certain stage of chaos, the Supreme Soul plays out its role of re-energization of souls. The recovery to their original state, in turn, has a direct effect on matter. It also comes back to its own original state of perfection. Our creation can be percieved simply as the restructuring. We spend our spiritual energy and God recharges the souls.

God as a sustainer provides us wealth, health, food, water, air and so on. If that were so, why should He give more of these things to some and not to others? Why do poverty, starvation and disease exist if God is a sustainer and provider of all in the physical sense? We have to understand the difference between physical and spiritual sustenance. Whatever I do or do not possess I have earned for myself. It is not God who pays us our salaries. Whatever fruits I earn are the results of my own efforts. As a spiritual sustainer, He fills us with His power and virtues like peace, bliss, purity and happiness. He also shares with us spiritual knowledge and bestows his love and blessings on us, all of which help us in our spiritual effort, so that we can transform ourselves and does not provide us with food and wealth.

Being desroyer the God is creator of virtue. There are many mythological stories all over the world about a revengeful God, destroying whole armies who dared to stand in the way of His chosen ones. The .Mahabharata. depicts the same, where God has even gone to war, praising the righteousness of our causes and counting on God’s support. Somehow the heart rejects the idea of a violent God who is a destroyer of life. He is the destroyer of evil not of life.

The story of the Mahabharata can be applied to the present moment in the World Drama, where he is is helping us in our war. Our war is not a physical one, our enemies our not our brothers, but our own weaknesses. Our weapons are actually knowledge and spiritual power with which we are able to bring down our enemies, our vices and shortcomings.
