# Theological Enquiries

Maharaja Pariksit was enlivened to hear Brahma’s answers regarding universal creation. His eagerness to hear topics of the Lord was growing. The saintly King stimulated further conversation by asking a variety of questions exploring the philosophical truths of the cosmos and the spirit soul’s sojourn within it. In particular, he enquired about:

* The spirit soul’s acceptance of material bodies and the Lord’s appearance in human form 
* The relative position of Vishnu, demigods, and the Universal Form 
* Divisions of time, creation of planets and species, and cosmic *yuga* cycles 
* Vedic literatures, devotional service, and the four goals of human life (*dharma, arta, kama, moksa*) 

Such precise and detailed enquiries, and the illuminating answers in response, reconfirm the Vedic version to be the most complete theological revelation in the world.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://bhagavata.keshavaswami.com/canto-02/c.u.t/t-total-theology-8-10/theological-enquiries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
