Creation

“The human mind in its progress marches from knowledge to knowledge, or it reviews, renews, and enlarges previous knowledge that has been obscured and overlaid, or it seizes on old imperfect clues and is led by them to new discoveries.”  [Sri Aurobindo].

   “By the power of inner harmony and by the grace of God, Svetasvatara had the vision of Brahmn. He then spoke to his nearest hermit-students about the supreme purification, about Brahmn, whom the seers adore.” [Krishna Yajurveda, Svetasvatara Upa., 6.21. upm, 97]

   He was afraid. Therefore people still are afraid when alone. He thought: Since there is nothing else but Myself, what am I afraid of? Thereupon His fears were gone; for what was there to fear? Assuredly, it is from a second entity that fear arises. He was not at all happy. Therefore a person even today is not happy when alone. He desired a mate. He became the size of a man and wife in close embrace. He divided this body into two. From that division arose husband (pati) and wife (patni). Therefore,as Yajnavalkya said, the body before one accepts a wife is one half of oneself, like the half of a split pea. Therefore this space is indeed filled by the wife. He was united with her. From that union human beings were born.[Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I, IV-The Creation and Its Cause, 2-3[
