Theorizing is fun, more so when its contradicting others. Here are some experiments with truth of a mind growing spiritually and intellectually, but which still has a long way to go...
I agree with the ancient Hindu sages with respect to Creation of universe, Brahman (highest reality) being the only Truth with an inherent consciousness which when merges with Maya (lower order of reality) forms Iswara and starts the leela of Creation & Dissolution. Maya provides the matter manifestations (naam-roopas) and the original consciousness provides a kind of designing life force, kind of creative energy which is present in every living or non living thing.
This original consciousness can be reflected/projected/manifested using an instrument to limit & focus its power on a particular space & time of Maya. This instrument is the mind and the reflection is the changing consciousness or ego. Since the ‘ego’ is the actual ‘doer’ & the ‘I’ is just a witness, human beings mistake ‘I’ as the ‘doer’ and being one and same with ’ego’. The cause of mind limiting the consciousness of the beings is to avoid the chaos of witnessing every event of the universe at all times.
Hereafter I differ from the sages who believe that the ego along with mind is the birthless & deathless soul. I would rather theorize that the mind is also a manifestation of Maya and cannot exist without a physical body.
Whenever a new & ready physical body and mind is created, the original consciousness starts getting reflected in it by itself. It is like a new bulb which starts glowing when fitted in a socket on a network of electric lines. When the bulb dies out or gets damaged, the glow stops. In the same way, when the mind & body wears out and the brain stops working, then the original consciousness stops reflecting in it. That’s just it; no transmigration of mind & ego; no karmas needed. There is of course an undying self within all of us and which is all of us - the original consciousness or Brahman, but it cannot be called as transmigrating from one body to another as it is truly one and same in all.
So, in a way all the beings attain Moksha on death (videha mukta) without realizing it as their individual consciousness dies, but lucky are those who attain Moksha at life and can be called jeevan mukta. Since they consciously look beyond the veil of Maya to the true reality, they live a life without any regrets and with sense of complete fulfillment.
The diversity of living beings is not because of any karmas of jeevatmas but it is an inherent nature of Iswara impelling Maya to diversify naam-roopas. So all the physical & mental setups have to be different and evolving according to the creative force of Iswara. This is similar to a conscious being dreaming various random dreams but not having any conscious control over them, as it is an embedded nature of dreams to diversify.
The social world is totally a result of superimposition of free wills of the so-called conscious beings and comes under the subjective order of reality ( ie. 3rd order of reality, lower than that of Maya ) and hence should be independent of laws of Maya. Even enjoyment and suffering are also matters of subjective perception and emotion, hence even they fall under subjective reality. If there is a sense of partiality involved between a child born in rich family and that in poor family, then the Creators of this subjective reality (Human beings) should be blamed and not the Creator of empirical reality (Iswara). Like a man woken up does not concern himself with the matters of his dreams (since they are at different orders of reality) similarly the Iswara does not concern itself with the matters of society. Human beings can always try to unite and exert their free will to change the society to make it look impartial (so to say).
Of course all the above stuffs are just my theories and I am ready to give them up if I get better ones in future...
