Knowledge, Valor, Power or Father, Mother, God ?

Question

Which comes first or All are inseperable or one without another has no effect ? Is all these are equal? These are poetic verses from a song purpotedly writen for the Gita, Could anyone share their insight?

Answer 1

God-first and always.

Answer 2

I think they are inseparable to a certain degree. If you have knowledge, valor, and power, it's because of how you were raised by your mother and father. If that also includes a belief in God, then the god-concept plays a big role too.

Looking at it from a the other way, as Father, Mother, God, honoring all of them by doing the right and just things are the highest compliment you can pay to your parents.

I see a large circle with ALL the words and names equally spaced on this circle. All are connected like spokes on a wheel. You can't have one half without the other half. Everything is connected. The "web of life" includes ALL of us.

Answer 3

Man makes houses but woman makes homes. Keeping this in mind we can say Mother comes first then father and if these two are there for you...with you....then rest of the things automatically follow.You will be knowledgeable, fulll of valor and god will also be on your side. On the other hand, if you have enough knowledge then you can handle any situation without any resentment, you have no grievances against your parents and then you have everything, your parents' love, power, valor as well as God on your side.

Answer 4

The various energies, you have mentioned,viz., knowledge, power etc... are inseparable from the Lord. The example is given of the light and heat existing inseparable along with the fire. Similarly the energies (sakti) are existing with the Lord who is the energetic (saktiman). In this sense, the Vedas say, that there is no difference between the energies and energetic, sakti saktimatayour abedha. The Lord is eternal, sanatana and His energies are also eternal, santana. There is no cause and effect in the spiritual world. Only in the material world there is the sense of cause and effect.

parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate, i.e., The Supreme Lord's energies are manifold and under His direction, they are working automatically producing the moving and non-moving, mayadhyaksena prkrti sruyate caracaram.

Here is the complete verse from (Svetasvatara Upanisad 6.7-8), quoted in the purport to Bhagavad gita (3.22), by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)

tam isvaranam paramam mahesvaram
tam devatanam paramam ca daivatam
patim patinam paramam parastad
vidama devam bhuvanesam idyam
na tasya karyam karanam ca vidyate
na tat-samas cabhyadhikas ca drsyate
parasya saktir vividhaiva srüyate
svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca

"The Supreme Lord is the controller of all other controllers, and He is the greatest of all the diverse planetary leaders. Everyone is under His control. All entities are delegated with particular power only by the Supreme Lord; they are not supreme themselves. He is also worshipable by all demigods and is the supreme director of all directors. Therefore, He is transcendental to all kinds of material leaders and controllers and is worshipable by all. There is no one greater than Him, and He is the supreme cause of all causes.

"He does not possess bodily form like that of an ordinary living entity. There is no difference between His body and His soul. He is absolute. All His senses are transcendental. Any one of His senses can perform the action of any other sense. Therefore, no one is greater than Him or equal to Him. His potencies are multifarious, and thus His deeds are automatically performed as a natural sequence."

Answer 5

First in what sense? Considering importance God comes first because God is the only guide and colleague throughout life. Than power because powerless can't do any thing not even helps father and mother. When you need velour, in crises? Velour naturally comes in God's company. God shows maximum ways to acquire knowledge. If you be with your master every thing comes after, interwoven.
