The Secret of Creation

  Now it is clear that the 'secret' of creation remains a secret forever. The reason for this is very simple. There are subtle forces (shakti) at work and these cannot be understood 'as another' different from our own 'Self'. This is the secret! There should be an other in order to know or understand there and there exists nothing besides the 'Self' and the 'Self is all'.   

  The second important secret is that of the 'Life Force' or pranic energy. What makes an inert object transformed into a living organism, jiva or prani? Also, when does Energy become Matter? What is that motive power that makes an immovable (achara) like the plants into a moving (chara) animal although growth, reproduction, and ageing are common to both? This takes us into the domain of quantum mechanics, particle physics, genetic engineering, and biotechnology. These aspects will be considered in detail later.

  There is some gap in our knowledge regarding the state of matter where exactly the energy particles- the fermions, gain or add mass to matter, bosons. These bosons gain in mass and chain reactions take place.Thus, all the paraphernalia of the objective phenomenal world ensues and present different forms to our perception. But, whether all these are real is another question. All these permutations and combinations take place so suddenly and it is beyond the ability of the humans to understand the intricacies behind these transformations. For example, a single sperm that enters the egg in the mother's womb divides and sub-divides to produce tissues, organs and a body in a small period of time. The knowledge, information, technology, ability to transform and produce new devices are all embedded in the sperm?And, it has the capacity to function and endure in time! Since these are mild but powerful forces operating at the substratum or base level neither the human eyes or its mental abilities can figure out them; in fact what is happening is not elsewhere but within one's self only!
   The manifest forms of all these waves and vibrations of the Energy particle is what we see as the convergence, condensate, in the form of 'Life-force' or 'pranic energy', the fundamental aspect that lies at the core of the substance, or 'the Atman' in the jiva.
