The first question referred to the Supreme Lord as sending us down here. Now sometimes in the Radha Soami literature, may be in some of the discussions, I forgot which, we have referred to as being prodigal Sons, which indicates that we came down here by our own choice, rather than being sent down by the Supreme Lord.
Choice comes through the mind, and there is no mind there.
We have been sent. We have been given mind, to be pulled to and function in this world. But we had no mind there. The question of our choice did not arise there. If the universe had to be created, some souls had to be sent, whether they liked it or not.
