The Nature of different Yugas
In the Sanatana scriptures, the concept of Chaturyuga has been explained in contrast with each other.
The properties/abilities of a Jiva being birthed in any of these becomes different as compared with the incarnation of the same Jeeva in the previous Yuga.
Many examples have been given to elaborate these generated differences. Upon understanding from a section of the mind, one often wonders if one could get birthed in the other Yugas. Since, the common observation which occurs is that the ones born in the Satya Yuga had many such abilities which are generally lost and couldn't be observed in the society now a days.
Upon, understanding the same differences in these properties from another section of mind, the cause of the changes mentioned in the properties of Yuga starts to get clearer.
From what I have understood by the Grace of Maa Kali and Gurudev himself is the underlying reason for the “Fall” lies in the consciousness of nature within the Jiva itself.
The more Subjective understanding of the Jiva changes the state of the Jiva closer to the Satya Yuga. On the contrary, the higher concentration of Objective understanding gets the Jiva to align more with the designs of Kali Yuga.
How Guru Kripa and Maa Adya Maha Kali helps in getting to this arrived understanding is that it is her magnamity and encompassing every Sthula, Sukshma and Causal. On top of it, the 1008 names of Maa Adya Kali and getting to develop an understanding from the Sahasranamavali posts made by Guruji and other members from the Creative Bench strengths the understanding that She indded is everything and still beyond.
It is by Gurukripa and Maa's Grace only. This understanding could find a base in my limited perception of the world around me.
From what I was able to understand, this world is constantly revolving in the four Yugas. Not physically, since the physical is created out of a collective consciousness. However, in the most causal aspects, the Yugas although having many differences are still the same.
The key criteria for a Jiva to regulate between these states within itself is the degree of objectivity that the Jiva operates at.
Objectivity just like the Ego could land you up in the best of the places, however even such places being physical in nature would come to an end. Why is the design like this one might ask ?
It's her way of telling the one to get out of Maya, which is her only. To get to a higher understanding of the Jiva itself and thereby getting the Grace, Her Grace.
Finally, just to elaborate a little on the Objective/Subjective ratio. I will add 4 more points to this passage:
Satya Yuga, Subjective 100% Objective close to 0%.
Treta Yuga: The objectivity arises in the society.
Dwapara Yuga: the objectivity arises in the family.
Kali Yuga: The objectivity arises within the human mind itself.
Take aways : These are not to choose from. These are the states wherein a Jiva can still operate. A balance is to be struck so as the Objective and Subjective operate in sync. Hence Yoga.
Jai Gurudev 🙏
Jai Maa Adya Maha Kali 🙏 🙏 🙏
