The creation they say is the desire of God. Whatever happens in the Creation is God's desire. Naturally people would want to know why is that the God desires in the way He does? Why does he desire Sun to burn, Moon to reflect light, Universe to expand, have a Big Bang, one to become a murderer and another saint, Sunami and earth quakes to occur, Indian to remain poor and large in numbers, Americans to remain too rich for long, Chinese to be sghort, and so on and so forth. Why did he not desire differently?
These questions are valid. By pursuing them, Man realizes that the questions are irrelevant.
Desire is observed to be a characteristic/ property of beings. Suna and moon and stars do not have desires. Languages do not have desires. Probably trees do not have desires. Desires are actually seen to be arising with the existence of ego, intellect, mind and senses.
But Gita's God by definition, though all pervasive and contains everything in the Creation, itself has no ego, no mind, no intellect, no emotion, no senses. God is not like another human being of super capabilty. God is the source and container of everything but has no desire. Desire affects those which are afflicted by desire. God is not afflicted or affected or impacted by anything. Thus there is no way that God can have desire.
God by definition is the Supreme who is complete by definition: there is no scope for Him to desire or wish. Desire or
wish arises from incomopleteness. If there is completeness, there is no scope for a wish or desire to arise for seeking completeness. The Supreme has every thing in Him and never feels inadequate. Without any inadequacy, the Supreme has
no need to wish or desire. The Supreme who is complete has everything: He
contains everything in the Creation and is in existence in each and everything
in the Creation. All wishes and desires of everything/ everyone are contained in
Him and He exists in all wishes and desires possible in all creatures. So the
Supreme does not need any desire or wish of His own. That His Creation functions
the way it has been doing and will continue, fully satisfies Him. With nothing
remaining to be satisfied, the Supreme has no scope for any wish or desire of
His own. Any thing / any one even a little less than Supreme and less than Complete can only have a wish or desire.
To put it differently, all that happens in this creation is nothing but His wish and desire getting fulfilled! That is how people see God's desire in everything that happens. It is just like saying that the Sun desires to light the Earth.
