There is a beautiful sequential order in creation. It all starts with absolute silence, mahattanta shanta! Not a thing stirs! From this state of stillness there arises somewhere in the abysmal depth a small bubble which assumes the size of a gross particle creating a wave, a sound- svara, nada and bindu. These are the subtler forces of energy that are at the base of all creation. What we can hear, see or perceive with our mind and senses are an insignificant bandwidth of the vast range and depth of the subtler forces of creation! The ancient saints have given the names of devi and devata to each and every force, shakti, that is the cause of creation! These start as a symbol of a piece of stone, rounded or otherwise, with marks like shalagrama, Sri Chakra, Om, Swastika, or otherwise, with names like Sharda, saraswati, durga, lakshmi, kali, shivalinga or sudarshana! Thus, the ingenuity of the learned sages in identifying these subtle forces of not only creation, but dissolution, as well is seen in the scriptures like Brahmanda purana, Shiva purana, Vishnu purana, Garuda purana, Padma purana, etc. There are innumerable scriptures, most of them that are in ms. state and unpublished describing these secrets. But our ignorance prompts us to criticize anything and everything that we do not understand. There are almost two hundred pancharatra samhitas that are a storehouse of secret knowledge, where every word is of esoteric nature and needs a scholar to interpret them. Do we care? the height and depth of our ignorance is such that we do not bother to realize the fact that there are no capital letters in devanagari samskruta bhasha and the impact of capital English letters that create mess while doing translation or transliteration! This is an eye opener. Most of the European scholars have fallen into this pit of ignorance with the result there is lot of misinterpretations of ancient Indian scriptures, needless to say that the practice continues even today, now and here.
Thus we have a lot of subtle forces opearting behind creation that cannot be put into syllable, alphabets or words. A few examples are: a, A, ba and Bha, ra, ya, va, lru, Im, shree and shreem, ka, Na and na, sa, sha, and Sha, ha, aham, Ah, ksha, Om. This list is endless. But every syllable or sound is an atomic bomb when exploded creates a vast diverse field of material objects that are in a state of elemental or compounds of gaseous, liquid, plasma or gross solid states. This is how all the elements and compounds like air, water, soil, rocks and minerals are formed! Behind every simple element lies enormous power and we have seen how the towns of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are reduced to rubble after the bombing raid! This is seen today in Mosul also! Much worse even a thought (thoughtron) is like a Hydrogen bomb! The terrorists are all evil-minded thought-forces bent on destruction! The simple physical law of entropy works here. Everything is reduced to nothingness at the end!
Every abstract object has a subtle spiritual force behind it! The sky we see so so vast that nobody knows its extent. What all the modern gadgets like the most powerful electronic telescopes or infra-red and UV cameras present to us are mere images and these are our own imagination; an artist can develop such images, or impression he gets on a canvass, too! Thus, we find our own powerful brain supported a much powerful mind (but weak instruments of senses!). However, the sages have come to know the secret of transcending time, space and reaching the depths of secrets of creation and dissolution. The space is not elsewhere but within us, so also, the Time! Every thing is our own creation! The Creator is seated within us as an invisible force, adrushya shakti. It is this inherent power of creation that gives us the life-force, the vital airs, the power of thinking and initiating the thought process bringing out images through imagination, mentation and ideation. All these ultimately stand before us as the gross perceivable objective world. In factr, the wife, children, friends, society, nation are all created by our own imagination! Once we close our eyes to the world, the world disappears! Nothing exists when we go into deep sleep! Then, what is this world, but a mere vibration of mental energy? In fact, we create what we desire! That all.
