Why HE is called a mystery

God does not like to send us to this temporary miserable material world. We want to come here and God sanctions it. Just like if a child wants to touch fire, the parents say no. But when the child wants again and again, the parents say ok. The child touches and burns the fingers and does not touch the fire again.
When we come here in this material world, one is born to die again and again in the mrityu samsara(chain of birth and death) until we learn our lesson(burn our fingers)and go back to God.
But, the reason behind birth and death is to learn the lesson that the material world is temporary and miserable as told by Lord Sri Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita(8.15) thus, "After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogés in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection".
Just like one goes to school not to stay there permanently or one goes to the hospital not to stay there for over. From the school we learn and go out and from the hospital we get cured and go out. Similarly in this temporary miserable world of repeated birth and death (Mrityu samsara) we learn the lesson and go back to our original home, back to God's abode in the spiritual world
The purpose of life is not MATERIAL HAPPINESS which is transitory, flickering and temporary but it is the eternal SPIRITUAL HAPPINESS obtained with love of Godhead.
After God sends us here on the material world due to our will, God gave various scriptures so that human beings can, by reading them lead a peaceful life on earth and understand the purpose of God. Scriptures vary from place to place and are different according the nature of the persons capacityGod Himself comes himself in various avatars like Lord Buddha, Krishna, Chaitanya and sends his different representatives, sons like Jesus and Mohammed. And other preachers of God consciousness appeared in different places and gave different methods of approach to God. Though, all speak about the same God consciousness, the way of approach is different due to difference in language, place and circumstances etc...
The Vedas say three are many ways,viz., Karma yoga, Sankhya youga, Jnana Yoga, Dhyana yoga and ultimately Bhakti yoga for different practitioners.
In the material world, we spirit souls are encaged in a temporary material body and the Lord as supersoul comes along with us and stays in the heart so that again we can go to spiritual world.
Below is some excerpts from Bhagavad-gita-as-it-is, by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
Lord Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavad gita(19.61),
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
Comparing the soul and supersoul sitting on the tree of body,
both the Katha Upanisad and Svetasvatara Upanisad say,
"Although the two birds are in the same tree, the eating bird is fully engrossed with anxiety and moroseness as the enjoyer of the fruits of the tree. But if in some way or other he turns his face to his friend who is the Lord and knows His glories—at once the suffering bird becomes free from all anxieties."
The supersoul is only acting as the witnesser and sanctioner.as mentioned in the Bhagavad gita(13.23),
"Yet in this body there is another, a transcendental enjoyer, who is the Lord, the supreme proprietor, who exists as the overseer and permitter, and who is known as the Supersoul."

technological know-how can't clarify each and every little thing. faith can't clarify something. in case you decide directly to be medical, you're able to desire to be waiting to admit which you basically don't be attentive to. there'll continuously be something we don't be attentive to. and there is not something incorrect with admitting that. Pretending you do be attentive to once you do not makes you a douchebag. you're impressive we don't be attentive to (yet) what led to the great bang. There are some suggestions bouncing around like string thought yet they're nonetheless theoretical and sophisticated as hell so I won't even attempt to describe it. the factor is postulating a god explains not something in any respect. what's a god? he's (if such issues exist) a supernatural being. Magic, by potential of definition. actually "abracadabra". So whilst some non secular person says "technological know-how does not be attentive to the place the universe got here from, hence it replaced into created God" what they're asserting is that somewhat than admit we don't be attentive to and seek for a real answer, enable's in simple terms anticipate some wizard created making use of a magic spell. Wtf?

FOR US to understand HIS Power and Greatness, and how little we are. So must humble ourselves and be lowly. Because even though how rich a man is, or how inteligent a man he think he is, or how powerful a man he think he is.. there is still RICHER, MORE INTELLIGENT and MORE POWERFUL than him. And the UNIVERSE and the things therein proves it. There is a Great One that made it all for us...
Its just the idea that I can give to you.
For more Biblical Truths, I recommend you:
http://www.truthcaster.com/
It is a very good religious program. ANSWERS ALL QUESTIONS OF FAITH, THRU THE BIBLE. That is why it was awarded as The Most Informative Religious Program from the recently concluded Gawad Amerika Awards.
Hope I've been a little help. Thanks be to God!

There are no gods; the universe has no purpose other than those we choose for ourselves.
