In this post, we bring light on "What Happens in Beginning of Copper Age?". This is a very worthy question to answer. Since now we know that, the world cycle can be divided mainly into two phases: Heaven & Hell. Then the phase of "heaven" is divided further into the Golden and Silver ages. While the phase of "hell" is divided into Copper and Iron ages. Of course, the world starts degrading rapidly from the Copper Age. Yet, it takes about 2500 years to reach a the lowest point, the point of time when we can call the world "hell". But how does it all happen from the beginning of the Copper age? Come we tell you...

The following was written in response to a query we received on our Samadhan WhatsApp group.
Your question is "If initially every soul was pure and perfect then how did the first negative sanskar entered them? How did vice begin?"
๐ดThis topic requires special attention. We can put this answer in right words, but it is upto the reader on how much of it they would understand.
๐ทLets take a trip in time and visit the time of world when heaven (เคธเฅเคตเคฐเฅเค) was about to disappear and maya's kingdom was slowly born. This is the beginning time of copper age (Dwapar Yug) when the souls forgot the true self being the soul, and began to be body conscious.
๐ฑEvery vice is born out of this false consciousness of "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข" >> it is only a matter of degree to which every soul in this time differs in being vicious; since we all had forgotten our true identity (soul). When we identify the self as a mortal body, we are prone to lust of sensual pleasure and greed of material possessions & powers.
๐นAs baba explained, the first vice born out of body consciousness is surely lust (this newborn vice was not yet powerful in copper age as it is now) >> then comes all vices like anger, greed, ego and finally attachment.
๐ปWe know that we were 100% pure & perfect in our first birth. Those souls who were born in early Satyug will surely be heavenly divine and full of all virtues & soul powers.
๐ชดAs everything in nature, "๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ" ยป gradually our soul power becomes low. In other words, our light fades with time ยป but a major change happens only in the copper age, when we fall in vices.
๐ดIt was heaven when all the souls were viceless. Even though they were not 100% in light and might, they were still pure, viceless and so, even Treta-yug is classified as "heaven" or "second-hand heaven" to be precise.
๐ณAs we continued to take birth after birth, we lived in a physical body for a long time, our soul consciousness/power faded and we started to identify ourselves as the physical body. In other words, body consciousness was born ยป This was a ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐๐ฅ of consciousness, and is natural and so true for all things that "๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐ป ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต ๐ฏ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐: ๐๐๐ญ๐จ, ๐๐๐ฃ๐จ, ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ".
๐ผAs we experienced this world through the "medium" of our physical organs, we gradually forgot that we are detached from them and "I am the ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ" who make this body work!
โญThis is how we forgot our spiritual identity and fell down in the false consciousness of being a body... and gradually invited vices in life. And so the world of sorrow begins... and so we started God worshipping (bhakti) as we remembered that it is God who frees us from sorrow and takes us Home.
