The universe has its beginning in a foggy dense mass of stellar dust that manifested from a process of condensation of invisible stellar dust. These dust particles are described as the shiny dust particles adhering to Devi Raja Rajeshvari'sfeet while she was traversing space on Her Lotus feet! (Soundarya Lahari, Verse 1). The Purusha Sukta of Rk Veda, Mandala X also says that the Purusha appeared in the form of a vast hazy form of a human with a head torso and limbs that has been photographed by a powerful telescope last year. Thus, all that exists as the material universe is traced to the primordial dust particulates of photons, light particles and these account for just 4 per cent and the remaining 96 per cent still constitute the heavy dark matter- all energy particles! How do these emanate in space and who created space? What is space that accommodates the material universe? The answers are there but not in the domain of science since they belong to the world of invisible spirit!
The term 'space' is that which accommodates anything and everything! So far the visible material world is made of tiny particulates, may it be gaseous, liquid, semi-solid or solid. But how does the gaseous elements originate? The Sun is a hot gaseous mass of Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He4). The source of Oxygen, Nitrogen are yet to be clearly answered? The earth's atmosphere is so simple that it constitutes hardly five or six gaseous elements- Nitrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon, Methane and Ozone, the rest are formed later out of other metallic or non-metallic elements. All these elements are, in principle, materials that formed under extremely vague conditions, as a result of elements combining to form compounds. However, still it is not clear when and how the primordial matter originated!
The first principle of creation is Energy and all the materials that formed have displayed energy and this has been traced to remnants of some pre-existing elemental star material, particulates of radio-active minerals or materials like uranium, radium, vanadium, zircon, barium and the like. Dissipation of energy or transformation of energy into matter has been accepted as the cause of this vivid, diversified, material world of objects. It may be surprising here to know how the primordial matter originated from the abysmal depth of 'silence' that gave rise to ripples, waves and currents of sounds! These primordial sounds are the basis of all that exists today! The sound of wind (air), fire, water, earth are all there to feel and experience. The sounds of breath, sa, ha, ah, oh, uh, as already explained are the seeds of creation. All the vowels such as a, i, u, e, ae, ou, am, ah, are all powerful root syllables, combining with the consonants ranging from ka, kha, ga, gha to pa, pha, ba, bha, ma are the principal root syllable that created space, air, fire, water, soil (earth), the senses and sense objects, the qualities of the objects that filled the space as the material, phenomenal, objective world. But, all these are rooted in silence is the most difficult principle to understand!
How do these objective world originate from silence? All that we see here as the objects of perception, experience, feeling, forms and functions depend on the power of the sense organs. If the eyes and ears are weak and powerless nothing can be seen or heard. Whatever the senses experience, feel, observe, perceive, hear and know or try to understand do not exist, in the sense do not come into our purview, unless the mind is interested in them! No mind, no interest, no matter whatever exists or not! Thus, we as humans, experience the world in a limited way, subject to our interest, ability to know and understand, and nothing beyond! We cannot see beyond a distance, hear beyond, know or understand beyond our ability and nothing can be said of this world. Everybody lives and works within a limited sphere in an extremely narrow field. However, the possibilities of expanding and going beyond our limitations is not either limited or restricted.
The material object is virtually created from the 'desire' that has its seat in 'absolute silence'! It emanates as will. If there is no will, there is no way to experience! When a person is at rest, in deep silence, a bubble of desire, ichha, will to experience, emanates from the abyss of silence. It is extremely difficult to be seated quiet since the abyss of silence props up bubbles of desires. Desires give rise to intense mental activity and create images, ideas, imagination, and create means of fulfillment. Thus, the seeds of creation are sown and the creation ensues and goes on endless within limitations of space and time. Everything, that way, is the creation of desire, may it be a wife and children, family and extended families, society, nation and the maps with boundaries, wars and changing boundaries, and all that.It is desire and desire that create the world! Even the simple things like an umbrella, a pot, or a glass come in this way. Supposing there is a desire to hold something on the head in case of rain or heat of the scorching sun there comes an idea to hold a stick with a piece of cloth over it. Ah! There comes an umbrella. So also a desire to sit on something elevated, above the ground, there comes a chair. All that we see as the train, bus, car, cycle, aircraft, ship or submarine have come as a result of desire to move faster and faster on and above the ground and below the water! There is nothing that ingenuity can produce but for the absolute silence, contemplation, desire and will behind it.
But, now, how do these syllables, alphabets -vowels and consonants create the material world? It is very simple, These syllables are the vital airs, fire, and water- the life-force finding expression in sounds, syllables, and words. The words created by the root syllables have the respective meaning that stand for the respective object. The umbrella is the object that has come into existence as an idea first as a desire in the mind and then came an idea. followed by an image and finally the word which took the form of the object. syllable, word and its meaning and the object is the sequence in which the world of objects are created. This principle applies to the creation of space, air, fire, water, earth and food and living beings as well! The desire is the root cause. The Lord lying in yoganidra contemplated upon, desired and willed! Lo! There came the visual world all that exists in consciousness. No consciousness, no world or no existence! These are the basic principles.
The Rk Veda, Srividya, Sri Chakra, the mantra shastra are the source of this knowledge. The supreme Lord, mahapurusha willed, desired. He having created entered it! He, the Lord was, is and will be alone! However, He consciously became aware of his loneliness, desired to create and thus creation ensued! It is the supreme Lord only who exists as the Self of all. He only exists and nothing exists besides Him. All this world is His creation. There is nothing that is i,me,mine, here. Close the eys, the world disappears! It is so simple as that. Nothing exists if there is no desire to create or experience! It is we as the images that play a drama of life at the desire and will of the Lord! Nothing moves here without his will.
Thus all that exists here is a magical experience that come out of silence and disappear into silence. Silence is the only truth, all else a noise, disturbance, and an illusion. Only a yogi in deep contemplation can realize this truth.
